Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions re repairing damaged DPC. Our DPC is damaged in lots or areas due to plumbing changes and general renovation works. It is very delicate and I feel that it would be difficult to repair and reseal properly.
Is it sufficient to place current grade DPC sheeting in the channels and re fill in or what's the done thing to this.
We already have a damp problem in one room and have decided to excavate this floor and redo complete with DPC however re doing all the floors is not an option.
I'm considering putting a special membrane on top of the floor such as that provided by Newtown Membranes. http://www.newton-membranes.co.uk/slimline.htm (their slimline product)
I'd appreciate anybodys thoughts/advice on this.
Regards
Franm
