absolutely. standard practice on sole plates in all timber frame houses. and likewise where timber contacts the ground or and unprotected masonry

What else would you do where the dwarf walls are damp. Treated timber isn’t impervious and water will work its magic given time.

I suspect ground water is rising up where the water main is entering the building. I’ve watched the water table rise & fall. You need to seal any entries that breaks the floor. 🇬🇧🙋♂️

Take the walls down and build them with the dpc at the bottom 👍

The Git. :
Of course. You need to have a break to stop the water sucking up further. How’d you think the bricks got so wet
2024-12-29 23:46:02

thedcman66 :
replace bricks those are cooked, new DPC your basically trying to put a whole new floor on crumbling brick
2024-12-30 08:50:06

mattreynolds :
Yes as I would but I’d look at the main issue you say the walls are soaking wet that needs resolving as any works you do after will be affected
2024-12-30 00:30:03

grantzxid7e :
yes, and also see if you can get some ventilation in the walls to try and get some air movement under it as well as putting in underfloor insulation between the beams

NextGen Property Services :
We always put dpc between timber and masonry, for the cost it’s a no brainer 👍🏼

why are the walls so wet? is that not going to eventually create a smell in the room?

user1707727131923 :
Definitely but I would ensure proper through ventilation to allow walls and oversite concrete to dry out, preferably dry it all out with dehumidifier before laying floor 👍🏼

Chris🇵🇱 :
That's out of the question, if you have chance to protect floor against the damp do it. In long term that will bring you not only financial benefits ( spending money for new floor in next few years) but health benefits too. Where is damp there is mold as well

Yes you want a DPC better ventilation, preferably on two outside walls, plus insulation to the underside of the new boards.

So I’m a 360 operator so short answer is I don’t know however I would say from a purely logical perspective, why wouldn’t you put a dpm down before timber it’s just good practice isn’t it ?
