The German solution to rising damp problems
WORK METHODS
Understand the 4 simple steps that dry your walls.
1
Analysis
Wet outer, inner and basement walls become dry again.
There are, however, isolated cases of damp walls where even we cannot do anything.
One of our principles reads: no experiments! To make sure that the use of the Drymat System will successfully dehumidify your house too, we always conduct a thorough analysis.
The electro-physical method of dehumidification is based on the electro-phoresic effect – please, take a look at our video about it. This makes the Drymat System the ideal method for sustainable removal of rising capillary moisture. As part of our analysis under the Wenner measurement technique, we make sure that there exists no pressurized water and no water vain abutting. Another rare factor able to make the Drymat System ineffective is a pH value of 4 or less, which is caused by an extreme organic pollution, for example by fertilization of the surrounding fields.

Instalation
A regular power connection on site via a socket – that's all we need

Mounting is possible both outdoor and indoor.
The control unit automatically sets up the power consumption and reduces voltage depending on the humidity. In our humidity analysis, we have exactly determined how much moisture is present and what is the disturbance potential. This determines which voltage has to be used to eliminate the rising capillary moisture. In any case, it is limited to the low voltage range comparable to that of a doorbell power supply. Electromagnetic pollution is therefore not an issue.
For precise placement of anode conductors in the wall, we measure the water and salt levels. In individual cases, a very thin anode of precious metal can be almost invisibly introduced into a tile joint with the aid of special machines.

Drying
Phase
From now on everything goes as if by itself – even after a flood.

Drymat does not only dehumidify the walls, but also desalinates them.
Drying begins on the day of the installation of your Drymat System – depending on specific conditions and wall thickness, the electro-physical wall dehumidification lasts about 2 years. Relatively quickly, of course, the surfaces become dry first, and the core of the walls at the end of the process.
After 1,5 years, we conduct a first control visit, on the basis of which we evaluate the progress of drying.

Drymat Wall Dehumidification – A Solution with a Long-Term Outlook
Thanks to the Drymat®System, you need neither measuring instruments nor specialist knowledge for the most convincing success control: just feel how much the atmosphere in the room has improved.
Nevertheless, we do not rely on the subjective perception, but monitor objective indicators of the dehumidification progress after the drying process.With the CM measurement method we can tell you in exact percentage terms how much moisture is left in the structure.A dry wall depending on the material has 3-6 % moisture.
