Wall drying Rügen
Permanent solution for damp walls on Rügen
Damp walls on Rügen - a common problem
The island of Rügen is characterized by high humidity, salty sea air and many older buildings. This combination favors moisture in the masonry.
It becomes particularly problematic when water permanently penetrates the building fabric, causing typical moisture damage such as flaking plaster, dark stains or mold. The indoor climate also deteriorates noticeably in such cases.
Professional wall drying ensures that the cause of the damp is identified - only then are cause-specific measures taken.
Causes of moisture in masonry
Damp walls are usually caused by structural weaknesses or physical processes. The most common causes include
- Missing or damaged waterproofing (horizontal barrier) in the area in contact with the ground
- Capillary rising damp from the ground
- Leaking pipes or pipe damage
- Condensation moisture due to thermal bridges
If the cause is capillary rising damp, homeowners are faced with the following problem: mineral building materials such as bricks or concrete have fine pores that act like a sponge.
This means that they transport water upwards from the ground. Without effective structural waterproofing - in this case a horizontal barrier - the moisture can spread throughout the masonry.
The consequences range from visual damage to the walls and the formation of mold to structural damage to the building fabric.
Typical signs of moisture
The following indications point to a moisture problem in the walls:
- Dark stains or moisture marks
- Peeling plaster
- Musty smell
- Cool, damp wall surfaces
- Mold
If these symptoms occur, the masonry should be checked by an expert as soon as possible. They will be able to assess which individual measures are appropriate for draining.
Wall drying on Rügen with horizontal barrier
If there is capillary rising damp, a mechanical horizontal barrier is the most reliable solution for permanently draining the walls. It permanently interrupts the water transport in the masonry.
When drying walls using the HW method, stainless steel plates specially developed by us are inserted into the bed joints. These form a continuous barrier layer and prevent water from rising any higher.
Functionality at a glance:
- Inserting the stainless steel plates into the wall (by one of our partner companies)
- Overlap to form a closed seal
- Stopping the capillary rise of water
- Drying out of the masonry above the barrier
In contrast to chemical processes, sealing is purely mechanical. The result is a durable and maintenance-free solution.
Advantages of wall drying with the HW system
Wall drying on Rügen using the HW method offers several decisive advantages:
Gentle design
The work is carried out without extensive demolition. The statics of the building remain intact.
Permanent sealing
The stainless steel plates used are corrosion-resistant and designed for long-term use.
Efficient implementation
Drainage takes place in just one work step. This saves time and reduces costs.
Without chemicals
No injection materials are used. This makes the HW process environmentally friendly and sustainable.
