DIY DPC Cream - Safe & Effective Solution from Twistfix

If you are a DIY enthusiast or a general builder, then you could save a remarkable amount of money by choosing to protect your property by installing your own damp proofing course (DPC) with the help of a Twistfix DPC Injection Kit. Our comprehensive collection of moisture control products is designed to ensure you have everything you need on hand to facilitate rapid, effective and lasting anti-damp work.

Applying a damp proofing to an unprotected wall is essential, particularly during wet weather when rain soaks into the ground around the footings and causes potential for rising damp problems. DampCure chemical DPC cream is proven to be effective at preventing rising damp.

The Twistfix DIY Damp Proof Kit contains eight cartridges of professional-quality damp proofing cream, enough to protect 15m of double skin wall or up to 30m of single-leaf wall. This cream has been specially formulated utilising a process of emulsification, which negates the need for problematic thickening agents and produces a siloxane/silane mixture that is 100% active, migrating immediately and deeply into masonry pores to form the effective chemical DPC barrier.

Installation could not be easier; DPC cream is injected into holes drilled along the chosen mortar bed course and allowed to diffuse while the entry holes are made good. All necessary accessories, such as carbide drill bits, protective gloves, caulking gun and extension tube, are provided with this complete kit, which can be safely and effectively used by trade professional builders and DIYers alike.

You should choose a chemical DPC system that is specifically designed to be introduced into the mortar joints. The mortar presents the only continuous passage ascending up a wall through which water is able to rise. Therefore a mortar bed joint is the only layer that can function as a damp proofing layer. Introducing a DPC into just each brick or block unit along a stretch of wall will not stop the water rising through the joints between. In accordance with BS6576:2005 a DPC should be sited at least 150mm above external ground level and internally beneath ground floor joists, or close to the floor if solid. If the two are incompatible please phone our help line for DIY or trade advice. Where a newly injected damp proof course is to finish additional injection holes should be drilled vertically, up to a height of 1m in a zigzag pattern that follows the mortar line, and the holes injected with DPC cream to form a vertical damp proof course that will stop the transmission of damp from abutting walls.
