DAMP PROOF COARSE

A damp proof course or DPC is a protective barrier installed in walls and floors to prevent moisture damage. Its job is to stop dampness rising up from the ground into the structure of your home.

You’ll typically find a DPC layer in the foundations, about 15cm above ground level. It’s made of waterproof material, like bitumen, polyethylene sheeting or mortar additives. The DPC creates an impermeable barrier, blocking water molecules and water vapour from seeping into the building materials above.
