Wall dehumidification upper Ore Mountains — Request consultation now

Damp basements and rising moisture are among the most common building problems in the upper Erzgebirge. Historic miners' houses, half-timbered houses and post-war buildings – many stand on natural-stone foundations without a horizontal damp-proof course. Drymat is your contact for professional wall drying in the Erzgebirge, from Jöhstadt to Annaberg-Buchholz.

When masonry drying in the Erzgebirge makes sense

Salt efflorescence, damp patches in the plinth area, a musty smell, flaking plaster and mould growth indicate that measures are needed. In the Erzgebirge, slope water, waterlogging from clay soils and high rainfall are additional aggravating factors.

How Drymat wall dehumidification works

The patented Drymat system relies on active wall dehumidification – a purely physical process that effectively stops rising moisture in the masonry and actively dries the masonry:

• Titanium anodes in the masonry: Specially developed anodes are inserted into the masonry joints. A weak electrical field reverses the capillary moisture movement – the water is actively channelled back down into the ground.
• No digging: No earthworks, no excavator operations, no damage to the facade or the garden.
• No chemicals: No introduction of injection resins or chemical barrier agents – the process is purely physical and environmentally friendly.
• Measurably effective: Integrated data logging documents the drying process seamlessly. You can see at any time how the moisture values are developing.
• Patented and certified: German patent, scientifically recognised to ÖNORM 3355, confirmed by international expert reports.

The Upper Ore Mountains lie at an altitude of 600 to 900 metres – shaped by heavy rainfall, snowmelt, hillside water and loamy, stony soils. Many buildings in Jöhstadt, Annaberg-Buchholz, Oberwiesenthal and Marienberg date from the mining era and have natural stone foundations without a damp-proof course. Due to the exposed altitude and the hillside setting, moisture often also penetrates the masonry from the side.
