A membrane damp proof course (DPC) is a material like polyethylene sheeting that is applied under concrete slabs to prevent moisture from traveling upwards through capillary action. A diagram shows how DPC is typically installed under a concrete slab to block moisture transmission. The document provides a brief overview of what a membrane DPC is and its purpose in construction.

2. WHAT IS MEMBRANE DPC?
 A damp-proof membrane (DPM) is a
membrane material applied to
prevent moisture transmission. A
common example is polyethylene
sheeting laid under a concrete slab
to prevent the concrete from gaining
moisture through capillary action. A
DPM may be may be used for DPC
