I love now negative bricklayers are, please go make a video and show us how it’s done instead of being pussys. This is training and everyone needs to start somewhere. Why are you even watching a video on how to install dps if you are so good?
Pull the DPC an inch off the bricks from either the inside or the outside. While that to some extent compromises the full effect of the DPC at least the will be a brick and cement connection between the upper part of the house and the lower.
it is normal that the DPM overlaps with the DPC (Damp Proof Course). The DPC is normally laid within the bed joint of the brickwork or blockwork, primarily to stop ground damp from rising
use it before spring and if you use after spring ur plant will not bud and make sure after applying this method cover ur plant with air tight plastic so that the plastic will avoid scion from drying
I understand why the DPC is there but surely it is the week point of the wall from any horizontal forces because the cement doesn't stick to it like it does to the bricks?
A damp-proof course (DPC)is a barrier through the structure designed to prevent moisture rising by capillary action such as through a phenomenon known as rising damp. Rising damp is the effect of water rising from the ground into property. The damp proof course may be horizontal or vertical.
