Damp-Proof Courses
Groundwater is often the cause of damages in buildings. The porestructure of many building materials enables the kapillary absorption of groundwater, of which only a limited amount evaporates again and which can cause damages to the building materials. With time salt and lime effloresence as well as mould can appear on walls. In some cases rising damp can cause cracks and frost damage, as well as algae, fungus and moss growth.

Old cellars and basements will usually require waterproofing if they are to be used as habitable areas. In the UK, cavity drainage systems (Oldroyd Xv) are the most popular waterproofing option for old basements. These redirect water to a sump and pump rather than physically holding it back, so preparation of the old brick substrate is less critical than when using traditional waterproofing systems.
