Damp proofing of a wall 1 is affected by means of an electro- osmotic installation, which is supplied by a source 7 with an alternating voltage with a positive average value for the period. The voltage is applied to electrodes 4 in the wall 1. A hydrophobic agent such as silicone is ...
Normal construction using such elements as damp-proof courses, damp-proof membranes, lead flashings, cavity walls and suspended floors reduce moisture penetration into buildings. Cavity conundrum If your home's damp-proof course is being prevented from doing its job properly, this can also cause da...

aTo achieve adequate damp proofing, any foundation shall incorporate a continuous DPM of a performance equivalent to that of a 1200 gauge polyethylene sheet, and any sleeper walls or footings, as appropriate, shall incorporate a DPC. 要达到充分潮湿的检验,所有基础将合并表现的连续的DPM等效与那1200个...
Rising damp is one of the most common issues that can develop within walls, due to the lack of an effective damp proof course or the omission of damp proofing during earlier construction or renovation. Old properties need special maintenance and upkeeping, otherwise there is always the risk of...
What causes rising damp in internal walls? Older homes, which usually have no damp-proofing built into their fabric, might be more prone to rising damp. It can also happen in homes where the installed DPC or membrane is damaged or compromised. DPC can also fail because of ‘bridging’. Th...
