Professional DPC Installation Across Berkshire
Above Water provide expert DPC installation services to protect properties from rising damp and long-term moisture damage. Our damp proofing specialists deliver reliable solutions tailored to your property.
What Is a Damp Proof Course?
A damp proof course (DPC) is a protective barrier designed to stop moisture rising from the ground into the walls of a building. Over time, original DPCs can fail or may not have been installed at all in older properties. Installing a new DPC is the most effective way to prevent rising damp and protect structural materials from decay.
Signs You May Need a New DPC
Indicators that your property requires a DPC installation include:
- Tide marks on internal walls.
- Damp smells or mould growth near skirting boards.
- Flaking paint and peeling wallpaper.
- Salt deposits on plaster surfaces.
- Damaged or crumbling timber at floor level.
If you see these signs, a survey will confirm whether a new DPC is required.
Our DPC Installation Process
We use proven methods to install or renew damp proof courses:
- Damp surveys and advanced diagnostics.
- Chemical injection systems to form a water-repellent barrier.
- Removal of salt-contaminated plaster where necessary.
- Restoration of internal finishes.
- Long-term damp treatment to prevent recurrence.
