FAQs

What is BBA Approval?

BBA Approval (British Board of Agrément) signifies that the product has undergone rigorous assessment, including testing, inspection, and certification, to ensure it meets high standards of quality, performance, and reliability for construction applications.

How long does the damp-proofing last?

When applied correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions, the DPC injection cream creates a durable, long-lasting barrier against rising damp, designed to protect the property for the lifespan of the building.

Do I need special tools to apply the cartridges?

Yes, typically an appropriate applicator gun designed for injection cream cartridges is required. This may be a specialized tool sold separately or part of a larger system. Please refer to the product's detailed instructions for specific tool requirements.

Can this kit be used on external walls?

The Sovereign DPC Injection Cream Cartridge Kit is primarily designed to combat rising damp which originates from the ground and moves upwards. For external damp issues, other solutions might be more appropriate. Always consult the product's specific application guidelines.

How do I know if I have rising damp?

Signs of rising damp typically include a tide mark of salt deposits and dampness appearing on walls starting from the floor upwards, usually below 1 meter in height. Flaking plaster and wallpaper can also be indicators. It's best to consult a damp-proofing professional for accurate diagnosis.

What is the coverage rate of the cartridges?

Coverage rates depend on the width of the wall and the depth of the injection holes. The comprehensive installation instructions provided with the kit will detail the recommended spacing and expected coverage per cartridge.

Troubleshooting

Cream not dispensing properly from cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated in the applicator gun and any safety seals are removed. Check for blockages in the nozzle. Refer to the specific applicator gun's manual if using a separate tool.

Visible moisture persisting after application

Rising damp can take time to fully dissipate after treatment. Ensure the correct number of holes and cartridge volume were used per linear meter. Verify that the moisture source is indeed rising damp and not another issue like penetrating damp or condensation. Consult the detailed installation guide or a professional if unsure.

Cartridge leaks during application

Check that the cartridge is securely fitted and that there are no tears or punctures in the cartridge itself. Ensure the applicator gun is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves ensuring the application area is prepared. This typically includes drilling a series of holes at the correct spacing and depth into the mortar course to be treated, as detailed in the included instructions. The injection cream cartridges are then inserted into these holes for application.

Compatibility: This system is designed for use in masonry walls susceptible to rising damp. It is compatible with various construction materials including brick, stone, and concrete block walls. Always refer to the product's specific guidelines for suitability on unique or historic wall constructions.

Care: Once installed, the DPC system requires no ongoing active care. The cured cream forms a permanent barrier. Ensure any unused cartridges are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, following manufacturer recommendations for shelf life.
