Answer / hani

Damp proofing in construction is a protective measure
applied to building foundation walls to prevent moisture
from passing through the walls into interior spaces. A damp-
proof course (often abbreviated to DPC) is a horizontal
barrier in a wall designed to prevent moisture rising
through the structure by capillary action - a phenomenon
known as rising damp. A damp-proof membrane (DPM) performs
a similar function for a solid floor.
