When Damp Proofing is required?

Rising damp is an example of a situation where damp proofing is required.  Rising damp occurs as a result of wet or damp soil around the house entering  through porous materials like bricks and mortar. Technically, the damp is drawn into these materials through capillary action.

AWC Group can provide you with a damp proof course of your choice – a barrier in a masonry wall designed to resist moisture rising through the structure by capillary action such as through rising damp.

What types of Damp Proofing (Rising Damp Treatment) are there?

Gravity Damp-Course Fluid System

is a silane/siloxane based impregnant to permeate into wet walls. Once impregnated into a course of brickwork, Damp-Course Fluid reacts with the minerals present to form a durable damp-course which permanently stops rising damp and damp proofs the wall.

Damp Proofing Cream

Damp Proofing Low Pressure Injection. 

This method is sometimes referred to as a chemical damp proof course.

Dryrod Damp Proofing Rods

A new high performance rising damp treatment.  A wall treated with damp-proofing rods is over four times more resistant to rising damp than the next best treatment method.

DRYZONE was developed in the UK and is the best selling rising damp treatment in the world now being sold in 15 countries worldwide.

Aqueous DPC (Damp Proofing Course) high pressure Injection Fluid.

It gets injected into the brickwork under pressure to create a chemical damp proofing course. This product does require the use of high pressure injection machinery.
