Different Types of DPC

Damp Proof Injection
This is the most common solution to solve rising damp caused by a failed or broken damp proof course. Sometimes called a ‘remedial’ damp proof course, this process involves the injection of a ‘damp proof cream’ made from a silicone-based liquid that reacts with the silica in the masonry to produce a water-repelling layer within the wall.
Damp Proof Membrane

The damp proof membrane is positioned underneath a concrete slab with the intention of protecting the concrete from any moisture.

This form of damp proofing is often used to protect properties from penetrating damp problems when the home has earth retaining walls.
