This wall just revealed why it was getting damp from below ๐ง๐งฑ
Ever noticed damp patches, peeling paint, or moisture near the bottom of a wall? ๐ค
Groundwater can rise through brickwork and mortar by capillary action โฌ๏ธ. Thatโs where a Damp Proof Course (DPC) comes in. It acts as a moisture barrier, helping prevent rising damp from entering the walls.
โ ๏ธ No proper DPC = higher risk of dampness, damaged plaster, and peeling paint.
