Wall base damp: is one horizontal damp-proof course sufficient dampness protection?
Burkinshaw, R.
Wall base damp: is one horizontal damp-proof course sufficient dampness protection? - 2005 - Journal of Building Appraisal 1(1) February 2005, 7-19(13) .
Considers three typical cases of wall base damp, where low-level penetrating dampness has caused problems above or below internal floor level. Many refurbished older buildings suffer damp damage as a result of unsatisfactory wall base detailing. Much time and expense is found to have been wasted when an otherwise successful project is seen to suffer early damp damage. Considers this type of damp problem much more common than true rising damp. References. [Taken from journal abstract].
