Most properties built in the last 100 years will have had a damp proof course (DPC) installed, however, if this has not been installed correctly then a property may still experience problems with damp. If you have noticed signs of rising damp on your internal walls, then chances are that you either don’t have a damp proof course at all, or it has been installed incorrectly and requires replacement.
We can identify if your home has a faulty damp proof course with a property survey and will offer an effective damp treatment to solve your problems with damp. Contact us on 01202 737739 for a no-obligation damp proofing quote.

Damp Proof Courses (DPCs) have been installed in new-build homes in the UK for 100 years now, serving as crucial protection against rising damp. Rising damp is caused by moisture from the ground moving upwards into a property, which damages the structural integrity and makes for unpleasant implications.
DPCs are installed within the structure of the building, in the form of a mortar course with an added bitumen or plastic sheet. It should be at least 150mm above ground level to be effective.
You should always have a DPC no matter the property, so if yours doesn’t, then there is no other reason needed – however, if you’re sure you do have DPC and are still noticing the telltale signs of rising damp, then there’s a strong chance that the DPC previously installed is now faulty.
If you notice these things, get in contact with Croft:
