What Is Damp Proofing and When Is it Necessary?
Both waterproofing and damp proofing are methods of preventing moisture intrusion. Although they are often used interchangeably, the terms damp proofing and waterproofing carry distinct meanings in foundation construction. Damp proofing refers to keeping soil moisture (dampness) out of a structure, while waterproofing means protecting a structure from both moisture and liquid water. The level and location of the structure’s foundation, soil conditions, rainfall, drainage, and methods of construction can all determine the need for damp proofing versus waterproofing.
When Is Damp Proofing Necessary?
The International Residential Code (IRC) states that waterproofing is required “in areas where a high water table or other severe soil-water conditions are known to exist.” Section R406 of the IRC states that in areas where waterproofing is not required, below-grade foundation walls should be damp-proofed. The parging of masonry walls must also be damp-proofed. In areas without high soil hydrostatic pressure, damp proofing used in conjunction with proper drainage and lawn grading is generally sufficient and provides long-lasting protection.
How Does Damp Proofing Work?
Damp proofing is typically achieved through a coating that is either sprayed on or rolled onto the outside of the wall. A damp proof course is a barrier that prevents rising damp, which is when water from the soil seeps up into the foundation. Damp proofing can also be integral when added to the concrete mix, the concrete itself water resistant.
