Wall drying Saarland
Reliable solution for damp walls
Moisture in masonry can have various causes. With the specially developed horizontal barrier from HW, we create a permanent & effective barrier against capillary rising damp.
- Mechanical stainless steel lock
- Gentle on walls & without chemicals
- Durable & maintenance-free
Effective sealing against water in the walls
Damp and wet walls do not always have the same cause. They can be caused by previous moisture damage, cracks in the masonry, a burst pipe or water penetrating from the ground (in the case of a missing or damaged horizontal barrier). The important thing to remember is that each cause requires a different solution.
Therefore, one of our partner companies in your area will check where the moisture damage is coming from.
If the cause is capillary rising damp, a mechanical barrier is the most effective solution for permanently dry walls.
We have developed such a mechanical barrier at HW-Mauerrockenlegung: We produce stainless steel plates with tapered edges. These are driven into the masonry in a particularly gentle manner and in just one work step, providing an effective barrier against rising water.
Our many partner companies in Germany use these panels and our special process to dry out your masonry.

4 steps to professional wall drying in Saarland
Make an appointment
Take Contact and we will put you in touch with an HW partner company in your area. You then arrange an appointment with them.
Damage analysis
The HW partner will examine your walls, advise you on sensible measures & services and provide you with information on how to proceed.
Drainage
The wall is separated and the panels installed in a single work step. This means that only one appointment is required for wall drying.
Refurbishment
After sealing, the masonry above the horizontal barrier dries out. As soon as this has happened, renovation is possible.

From Salzburg to Venice to Sylt, we have taken over the drying of many walls.
These pictures show how effective the horizontal barrier is (dry, light-colored walls above the barrier, wet, dark walls below the barrier):
Non-binding damage analysis in Saarland
Wet and damp walls can have various causes. That's why every professional wall drying in Saarland always starts with a detailed damage analysis.
An HW partner company in your area will investigate on site where the wetness is coming from and what measures can be taken to eliminate it.
Our partners will also explain what measures are required following the waterproofing and drainage (e.g. mold removal).
The damage analysis is non-binding. You will receive a professional assessment of the condition of your masonry and a transparent recommendation on how to proceed.
This allows you to make an informed decision as to which solution is right for your property.
Consequences of penetrating moisture
Water in walls can lead to severe moisture damage: Plaster crumbles, the indoor climate becomes musty, the quality of living and the fabric of the building suffer and mold can form. This is harmful to health in the long term and can lead to allergies or respiratory diseases, among other things.
Heating costs also increase, as wet walls have significantly poorer thermal insulation. The value of the property decreases over time due to moisture damage such as mold or a deteriorated building fabric.
It is therefore important to professionally eliminate the causes of damp and wet walls in order to find a permanent and sustainable solution.
If mold has already formed due to the moisture, you should also consider professional mold removal as part of the renovation.
Why wall drying with a horizontal barrier
In the case of capillary rising damp, a mechanical barrier is the most sensible and sustainable solution. This method also offers other significant advantages:
Drying damp and wet walls works without cracks, sawing open the wall, removing the building fabric or other damage.
Drying (separation & sealing) of wet or damp walls takes place in just one work step. This saves time & is effective.
Our patented process can be used on all walls with bed joints, on a wide variety of building materials & even on thick walls (up to 1 m).
Environmentally friendly
Drying is carried out by means of a mechanical barrier. No chemical substances are injected, which protects the environment.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about wall drying in Saarland
How long does wall drying take?
Thanks to our special process, we can separate wet walls in a single work step and seal them using a horizontal barrier. All drying measures can therefore usually be carried out in one appointment.
Do I have to move out during the work?
No, the work can usually be carried out while the building is occupied.
When can the wall be renovated?
Once the horizontal barrier has been installed, the masonry above the barrier dries out. Subsequent renovation (e.g. mold removal, new plaster, etc.) is possible as soon as the moisture content has fallen sufficiently.
