Q: Which one is the CORRECT option for the damp proof course?
  • A. It is measured in the cubic meter
  • B. It is measured in running meter
  • C. It is not provided at sills of doors
  • D. It is provided for half the width of the plinth wall
Correct Answer: Option C - Damp proof course (DPC) is a barrier through the structure designed to prevent moisture rising by capillary action such as through a phenomenon known as rising damp. Rising damp is the effect of water rising from ground into property. Rising damp is measured in 'mm' and DPC is measured in m2. They are usually provided below all masonry wall. They are not provided below the sills of the door.
