A damp proof course (DPC) is a horizontal barrier built into the walls of a building to prevent moisture from rising up through the structure via capillary action. It's typically a layer of impermeable material laid within the mortar between two courses of bricks or blocks, usually at or slightly above ground level. You might see it as a thin line of different material in the mortar near the base of a wall #EngineeringSolutions #ProfessionalOversight #BuildingExcellence #BuildSmart #Construction

(DPC) - Damp Proof Course - These are typically installed at the base of building walls (above ground floor level) to prevent rising damp, which is the upward movement of moisture through foundation walls and floors from the ground. @highlight #facebookreels #fyp #construction #reels #instagram #trending #followers #world #Engineering #foundation #DPC #highlights #viralvideo #civilengineering | Taiwo Okubanjo
