Damp Proofing the house is as important, as any other Waterproofing job

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?

№1 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.

№2 Damp Proof Course Cream

Damp Proofing Low Pressure Injection.

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

After a couple of days, the cream was absorbed (soaked) into the wall, and we see the new chemical Damp Proof Course.

№3 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.

We will provide and install

DryRod

№4 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.

Technicians of AWC Group have years of Practical, Professional hands-on Experience using the best Materials – this way we can guarantee that your Rising Damp will be solved for sure!

Three main steps of Rising Damp Treatment:

1. Drill holes at approximately

80mm apart. The drilling depth

should be approximately 10mm

less than the wall thickness.

2. Completely Remove the dust

from the holes using an air gun.

It is important that no drilling

dust remains in the holes!

3. Inject Damp Proof Course Cream slowly into each hole. Extend the nozzle of the gun to the rear of the hole, and slowly withdraw the nozzle as the cream is filling the hole. Make sure holes are filled fully with the cream.

Almost all contractors use a

vacuum cleaner to clean out dust

holes. Our experience proves that

after using a vacuum cleaner, 30%

of the dust remains in the hole.

And this is 30% less effective at

absorbing the cream into the

surface.

Only using an air compressor and

an air gun will clean the hole

100%.

The mortar bed, the bottom brick

and partly the top brick above the

Damp course will become water

repellent once the cream is

absorbed. It may take up to 7

days or more for maximum water

repellency to be reached. The new

damp course will permanently

stop the rising damp.

DPC Cream is designed to

be installed into the mortar bed of

masonry walls.
