Rising damp elimination system - One system covers the entire facility
About Damp Protect
PROsystem capillary rising damp elimination system using electro-osmosis has been successfully used for many years. This elimination system is extremely fast and efficient for damp walls affected by capillary damp.
Capillary rising damp elimination with the help of PROsystem is suitable primarily for older buildings without adequate waterproofing, especially for facilities of great cultural and historical value, such as castles, manor houses, religious facilities, museums, and all other buildings regardless of their purpose, which were built prior to using waterproofing materials. The system can also be used for newer buildings with defective waterproofing or in which waterproofing was bridged due to floods, with capillary damp remaining permanently.
SIGNS THAT INDICATE RISING DAMP
- Layering, defection and destruction of material
- Occurrence of salt and nitrate
- Unpleasant smell of moisture in the space
Only one system is sufficient for the entire facility
CAPILLARY RISING DAMP SANATION
By installing the electronic PROsystem, the following is achieved:
- Renovation and repair costs are avoided
- Property value is preserved from further deterioration
- Quality of life is improved, the space becomes more comfortable
- Dry and repaired walls save energy and reduce heating costs
- Potential health risks are eliminated
- Fungi and mould caused by capillary moisture are eliminated
- Unpleasant musty smell of dampness is eliminated
- First results are visible within the first days of PROsystem activity
WHAT EXACTLY IS CAPILLARY DAMP AND WHY DOES IT OCCUR?
Capillary rising damp is characteristic of old buildings, built at a time when builders were unaware of waterproof materials such as bitumen and the like, which are now used for waterproofing.
Moreover, old buildings are often built without foundations, directly on the ground. Since the basic construction materials (brick, stone, mortar, concrete…) are to a greater or lesser
extent porous, through them, that is through microcapillaries existing in their structure, damp gradually moves upward from the soil. The “culprit” for this is the surface tension of water, which
occurs due to the polarisation of water molecules, and its
direct consequence is capillarity. Due to capillary action, water “climbs” up the wall, and while moving, creates an additional electromagnetic field in the wall, which enhances the capillary
effect.
HOW DOES PROSYSTEM WORK?
The PROsystem method of drying of all the walls by means of pulsating waves, which also serves as a preventative system for re-emergence of capillary damp, is recommended by architects, as well as restoration and preservation experts. The first results are visible after only several days and the period required for complete dehydration depends on many factors. Thus, each building is a separate case. This automatically annuls the capillary phenomenon and leads to a gradual outflow of water from the walls back to the soil. The system also prevents the further occurrence of rising damp. The system must be permanently installed in the building and it should be maintained in accordance with the requirements of electrical devices.
The activity of PROsystem is based on the fact that water moves within the electromagnetic field due to
internal tensions caused by different poles between the wall and the soil. PROsystem transmits electromagnetic
waves through the walls, creating an artificial electromagnetic field that turns the direction of water molecules towards the negatively charged soil.
DEHYDRATION PROCESS
Factors that affect the dehydration process:
- Percentage of damp in the walls
- Thickness of the walls
- Type of construction material, i.e. its porosity
- Water-resistance of the soil
- Previous building works against capillary rising damp
In the initial phase of the system, when the damp inside the walls starts moving, it can result in an increased evaporation of damp into the space that causes increased atmospheric humidity. This change of dehydration indicators may be visible on the building, but not necessarily. Because of this phenomenon, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation of the space which is important in the process of dehydration, at least in the first weeks of the system operation
