DPC and Base Structure Waterproofing
DPC and Base Structure Waterproofing
The foundation of any building is its most critical component. If moisture reaches the base or plinth level, it can lead to rising dampness, mold growth, weakened structure, and long-term damage to walls and flooring. That’s why DPC (Damp Proof Course) and base structure waterproofing are essential for long-lasting structural health.
What is DPC and Why It Matters
DPC is a layer of waterproof material applied at the base of walls to prevent moisture from rising through capillary action. When this layer is compromised or missing, water from the ground seeps up into walls, causing paint to peel, plaster to crack, and floors to become damp and cold.
Our DPC and base waterproofing services create a moisture barrier that protects the foundation and ensures your home stays strong and dry from the ground up.
Key Signs You Need DPC Waterproofing
- Damp patches on ground-floor walls
- Peeling paint or white salt deposits near the skirting
- Musty smell in lower parts of the home
- Warped wooden flooring or tiles lift up
- Visible cracks in plinth or foundation walls
Our Process for DPC and Base Structure Waterproofing
- Detailed Site Inspection:
We inspect the plinth, foundation, and wall base to identify moisture sources and damage levels. - Surface Preparation:
All loose plaster, efflorescence, and damaged layers are removed. The surface is cleaned thoroughly. - Application of Damp Proof Coating or Injection Grout:
We apply high-performance cementitious or bituminous DPC coatings. In some cases, we use chemical grouting injections to block rising dampness. - Re-plastering and Finishing:
We finish with a protective plaster layer and, if needed, add a topcoat that’s paint-ready and moisture-resistant.
