🔑 Key Insights
Physical damp proof courses are the most reliable moisture barriers; chemical or dry rod alternatives cannot replace them fully.
French drains must be installed at sufficiently deep levels with proper fall and membrane protection to be effective.
Ventilation is critical to managing moisture in suspended floors; blocking air bricks often worsens problems rather than solves them.
Surface water management, including proper rainwater discharge, is essential to prevent moisture ingress near foundations.
Diagnosing damp problems requires a thorough investigation of drainage, ventilation, and structural details, not just surface symptom treatment.
