How does moisture develop in walls?

Over the years, many buildings lose their original moisture barriers – some have never been adequately installed. This allows water from the ground to penetrate into the masonry. With the water, dissolved salts also enter the walls, which additionally promote moisture transport. The moisture then rises to considerable heights via capillary forces and in the long term leads to damage to plaster, masonry and building structure.

While conventional waterproofing methods are often elaborate, costly and involve structural interventions, the Drymat® System offers an alternative approach. It works without damaging the building components, causes hardly any dirt and preserves the structural integrity of the building. It can even be used in basements or historic vaults. Thanks to its low energy requirements, the system runs permanently and reliably – a sustainable solution that pays off particularly for owners who value the preservation of their property.
