Climate Control Insulation supplies and installs damp proof course (DPC) membranes for new homes, extensions and renovation projects across Melbourne, Geelong and the Mornington Peninsula.
A dampcourse is an essential moisture barrier placed between the footing and the first course of brickwork to prevent moisture rising into the structure. We work with builders, owner-builders and renovators to ensure the correct product is installed to meet Victorian building standards.
What Is a Damp Proof Course?
A damp proof course (DPC) is a waterproof layer that sits above the slab or footing to stop moisture from travelling up the walls. It’s a standard requirement in construction and helps protect the long-term integrity of the building.
Dampcourse Products We Install
We supply and install a range of DPC materials depending on project needs, including:
- Polyethylene dampcourse
- Bituminous / asphaltic membrane
- Combination moisture barrier products
- DPC suitable for brick, block and masonry
We only use high-quality membranes from trusted Australian suppliers.
Damp Proof Course in Construction
In new builds and renovations, the DPC is installed:
- Directly above the slab or footing
- Before brickwork begins
- To meet minimum code requirements
- As part of the home’s overall moisture protection system
Correct placement and installation are essential to prevent future moisture issues.
Where Dampcourse Is Used in Buildings
DPC installation is commonly required in:
- New home construction
- Extensions
- Garage or outbuilding additions
- Brick veneer homes
- Underfloor insulation projects where DPC replacement is needed
Do We Repair Rising Damp?
No.
We do not diagnose, inspect or treat rising damp in existing homes.
We install dampcourse only as part of construction or renovation work, when a builder requires a DPC membrane to be supplied and fitted.
