Mode of action and initial renovation successes.

In this area, the affected masonry lies deep in the ground and was therefore exposed to capillary rising moisture. By installing the Drymat cathodes below ground level, the active waterproofing plane could be placed precisely where the moisture was entering – beneath the foundation area.

The first visible results appeared just a short time after the system was put into operation:

The damaging salt dissolved in the water began to crystallise and emerged at the surface.

The adjacent floor area showed the first signs of drying out, which can be regarded as an indicator of the masonry beginning to dehumidify.

This process demonstrates how the Drymat wall drying system works, interrupting the moisture transport and progressively relieving the masonry.
