Damp & mould compliance software in India.
In India, the National Building Code sets the design basis for damp-proofing, and states adopt it through their own building bye-laws. Monsoon rain getting through roofs and walls, rising damp in masonry and leaking plumbing are the usual causes of damp and mould, and tenancy law differs between states.
The applicable regime
The National Building Code of India 2016 (Part 6 for damp-proofing), published by the Bureau of Indian Standards, as adopted by each state's building bye-laws, with tenancy law set state by state.
Three local evidence priorities
1.Record the season and the water path
Note whether the visit is before, during or after the monsoon, the roof and wall details near the damage, and readings that show its extent, so seasonal water getting in can be told apart from a constant leak.
2.Look for rising damp in masonry
Record the height and pattern of damp at the base of walls, the damp-proof course where you can see it, plaster condition and salts, without assuming the cause.
3.Link repairs to the original evidence
Keep the report, inspection, waterproofing or plumbing works and the follow-up visit on one property record, so the result can be checked after the next monsoon.
Which bye-laws and which edition of the code apply?
The Bureau of Indian Standards has issued newer national standards since NBC 2016. Record the state, the local body and the edition its bye-laws adopted before comparing a defect with a requirement.
