Abstract
If basements are to be converted to provide living space they must be protected from penetrating dampness, associated mould growth and moisture-related deterioration of components. This guide, for rehabilitation specialists, outlines the principles of internal damp proofing, considers the detailing needed to ensure continuity of the damp proofing layer and gives summary advice on materials selection.
