There are three
easy steps to installing an injected Damp Proof Course;
1. Mark the holes 6 inches
(150mm) above the ground and drill with a 12mm masonry bit. Drill into
the joint, brick or stone horizontally or at a slight down angle.
2. Inject the DPC Quick Cream
very gently and slowly, from the base of the hole outwards.
3. Insert a DPC Plug, to
seal the hole. You can mortar over this with coloured mortar, if you
wish.
The Damp Proof
Course can go into the Mortar Joint or into the Brick or Stone.
A Calibrated
Dose Gun avoids waste.
  
Step 1 - Drill 12mm diameter
holes. Step 2 - Inject the Quick Cream gently. Step 3 - Inset the DPC
Plastic Plug.
Options for larger
damp proofing projects;
A. Use the 1 Litre Cartridge
- a Calibrated Dose Gun avoids waste
 
B. Use the 3 Litre Bucket
of Cream in a Pump up Pot
 
Note - injection, no matter
which method you use, requires virtually no pressure.

Replastering Notes
Don't forget that replastering
is essential if dampness has affected your plaster because of the 'salts'
that come with the water: you have two options - either replaster to
our specification using sand and cement, with Renderpruf salt inhibitor/waterproofer
in the water or look at the Wall Membrane option. Wall Membranes offer
a considerable improvement over sand and cement - they produce a warmer
surface, can be insulated easily and can be directly plastered with
lightweight, modern plasters, like Carlite Bonding.
