WATER PROOFING DAMP PROOFING

AND
THERMAL INSULATION
 WATER PROOFING
Waterproofing is keeping all water from crossing a material,
including soil moisture, water vapor, and liquid water that is
under hydrostatic pressure. If you live in a damp climate that
tends to have problems with basement flooding, this is an
important difference to note.

DAMP PROOFING
damp proofing only controls water vapor
from soil moisture. It wont stop the influx
of liquid water. If you have high water
tables or severe soil water conditions,
damp proofing the foundation may not be
sufficient.

 Dampness Deteriorates Structure
 Structural deterioration (i.e., damage) is defined as any change to the material or the geometric
properties affecting the structural performance
 Structural dampness is the presence of unwanted moisture in the structure of a building, either the
result of intrusion from outside or condensation from within the structure. A high proportion of damp
problems in buildings are caused by ambient climate dependent factors of condensation and rain
penetration.
 Rising damp can cause superficial damage to an internal wall, as well as structural damage to timber
and masonry. It harbors mould too, which can result in health problems
 Health concerns around mould include infections, allergenic or immunological illness, and nonallergic
illness. Asthma is also triggered by the sensitization of dust mites accruing humid, wet regions of a
structure. Another health effect associated with structural dampness is the presence of bacteria in an
indoor environment.
 A wide range of instruments and techniques can be used to investigate the presence of moisture in
building materials. When used correctly, they can provide a valuable aid to investigation.

DPC.
 What do you understand by DPC

 DPC means Damp Proof Course

 The function of a DPC is to prevent moisture or water passing from one part of the building to
another. Damp proof courses should be designed in conjunction with flashings and damp proof
membranes to ensure a continuous barrier.
 In Damp Proofing there used different materials including Stones, The flexible materials like
hot bitumen, plastic sheets, bituminous felts, sheets of lead, copper, etc. Semi rigid materials
like mastic asphalt.
 Why Water proofing and damp proofing is
required?
 Damp proofing is a way to prevent wetness caused by water seeping up into walls from the ground up,
condensation inside the damp walls, floors, or ceilings due to poor ventilation or from living in a wet climate.

 Damp proofing ensures that your walls resist this moisture hazard so that your family can stay safe and healthy,
breathing freely. When condensation builds up inside your walls, or water is allowed to sit without sufficient
ventilation, mildew and bacteria begin to grow. Damp proofing can help eliminate this problem.
 Waterproofing is a must for new construction. However, even though it is necessary, sometimes moisture collects
below the surface of the ground an is absorbed into the foundation materials.
 Protecting your home from water damage is important. Waterproofing your home is the ideal thing to do, since
homes that aren’t resistant to water could run into lots of troubles further down the line. Left untreated, the results
could be quite expensive.
