We're recommending an additional precaution for this area of your project

The Issue:

Due to the level of the surrounding paving and a need to allow 150mm below the DPC (damp proof course) on the house wall, we’re suggesting the following detail.

Contractor Specification

As per specification drawing below.

To be used where the current level of the exterior ground is less than 150mm below the damp proof course. Note that this is intended to be an additional preventative measure against the ingress of damp/moisture and not a solution. Other damp proofing methods should also be used and should comply with current building regulations. Note that paving should fall away from the house.
