What is a damp proof course injection?
Replacing and existing damp proof course is a difficult and very complicated process. It involves a lot of structural work which can be problematic. It is also very time consuming and expensive so a chemical damp proof course injected into the walls is the most commonly used and cost effective solution to replace your existing damp proof course. The system works by a series of holes being drilled around the base of the property and our SecoMUR chemical system is injected into the hoes which form a new damp proof course barrier with a 30+ year life expectancy!
How does it work?
The new DPC works as the product seeps deep into the brickwork and prevents moisture from ground rising up through the brickwork via capillary action and causing the infamous ‘Rising Damp’. The chemicals are specially designed and have a consistency that allows the active component silane to be absorbed and then form a line in the capillaries this is what creates the new waterproof barrier.

The Public Health Act of 1875 set laws for ground-level damp proof courses in walls, all properties then should have been built with some form of damp proof course.
Most modern properties will have some form already installed and these protective materials are usually made from slate, bitumen or a plastic membrane and can decay. For example, it is possible for a damp proof course to crack due to subsidence or generally deteriorate over a period of time, allowing damp to rise through the walls. It is also possible for the damp course to be breached by rubble and debris within the cavity wall.
If you believe you may have an issue with your damp proof course (DPC) at your property then you should contact us immediately to arrange for one of team to survey your property.

Superior technology
secoMUR® is engineered with microFORMULA® technology, which achieves a deep penetration and “Cross-Link”-effect in the interior of the wall and triggers a much faster and more complete bond reaction within the pores of the wall. It is the ultimate damp proof course against rising damp. After drilling a series of holes as close as possible to the ground level, secoMUR® is injected, creating a horizontal barrier against rising damp.
