How wall drying works with a horizontal barrier
The HW horizontal barrier is used to dry out walls in the event of capillary rising damp (rising from the ground).
The stainless steel plates used are rust-proof and weather-resistant and form a rot-proof insulating layer in the wall.
They have tapered edges, making it easier to drive them into the masonry - vibrations are minimized & the walls are protected.
The overlapping panels form an impermeable seal, allowing the walls above the barrier to dry effectively.
In contrast to many other methods, draining the walls using stainless steel panels is a permanent solution.

This is how damp walls occur
Damp walls can have various causes: Water damage, burst pipes, construction defects, etc. In most cases, however, the cause is an inadequate or missing horizontal barrier.
Such a barrier prevents soil moisture from rising from the ground into the walls. If this seal is not (or no longer) present, the water can penetrate unhindered and rise capillary in the masonry.
The problems of damp walls
Damp masonry causes a number of problems over time:
Visually: Unsightly stains appear on the wall and the plaster flakes off.
Healthwise: Danger from mold growth. A musty indoor climate impairs the quality of living.
Structural engineering: The building fabric is damaged.
Financial: Reduced thermal insulation and therefore increased energy costs. If the building is not dried out, the moisture can cause further consequential damage over time. The value of the property is reduced.
Recognizing damp walls
Water damage is obvious when stains appear and the plaster flakes off. However, structural damage caused by rising damp can also be detected at an earlier stage:
A musty smell and a musty room climate are often the first signs. If the walls feel clammy or cold to the touch, this is another sign. It is now necessary to restore the waterproofing of the masonry and thus carry out targeted drying of the building. Further renovation is then also possible.

Treating the cause instead of the symptoms
In the event of water damage, it is essential to know the cause before starting to dry out the building. An assessment by a professional saves time and money, as you can tackle the cause directly.
Equipment & experience
Waterproofing using a horizontal barrier cannot be carried out by non-professionals, as special equipment and experience are required. We have been working in wall drying for over 45 years and can provide you with the best results.
Why the HW horizontal barrier in Leipzig
- Stable building fabric: Our patented process does not require the wall to be sawn open. This also means that there is no wall settlement or damage to the building fabric.
- Gentle, even on thick walls: The panels are inserted into the masonry gently and without strong vibrations. This is also possible with walls up to 1 m thick.
- Only 1 step: We dry the building in just one work step.
