Mold on the walls – identify the causes and act effectively

Mold on the interior or basement walls is a serious problem that many homeowners are familiar with. In addition to unpleasant stains and musty odours, it can also affect the indoor air quality and thus limit the well-being of the residents. One possible cause is moisture in the walls. This can lead to the formation of dew points and condensation moisture and subsequently promote the development of mould.

Above all, moulds need moisture to spread. If the masonry is damp due to rising moisture or leaks, the risk of mould formation increases significantly. Basement and ground floor areas are often particularly affected, but living spaces can also be affected by damp walls.

The drymat system dries the masonry by an electrophysical process. If the masonry becomes dry again, the indoor climate improves noticeably and the basis for mould growth is removed. In addition, dry masonry has better thermal insulation – which can also have a positive effect on the energy consumption of the building.

Homeowners who previously struggled with mold infestation report significantly improved air quality and rooms that became usable again after drying the masonry with Drymat. The short execution time of one to two days with little structural intervention and little impairment is emphasized. Due to the waterproofing level below the building, basement and foundation floors are also covered, which leads to a reduction in moisture in the floor area.
