Our technological solution -

Utilisation of physical effects for careful drying of walls

Walls contain a multitude of tiny capillaries enabling moisture from the ground or air to penetrate the various wall layers. The method provides a universal solution for reducing moisture present in a wall as a result of capillary effects. A magnetic field is used to create weak electrical fields in the moist walls of a building. These fields activate electrokinetic processes in the capillaries of the brickwork. As a result, natural diffusion in the brickwork and, thus, the drying process is permanently maintained. This, in turn causes the moisture in the brickwork to be reduced up to the natural moisture content equilibrium. Thanks to this electrophysical method, no construction works, static load changes in the building or chemical substances are needed for achieving dehumidification. Consequently, it is suited for a wide variety of buildings, starting from buildings classified as historical monuments, via industrial buildings up to one-family houses and multifamily residential structures.

The magnetic field creates a weak electrical field in the capillary range (shown in a strongly magnified view here). The capillary widths are in the micrometre range. The type and size depend on the construction material in question.

In the tiny capillaries extending through the brickwork, water molecules and dissolved salts are present. The weak electrical field acts on these deposited and dissolved salt in the capillaries in the form of electrokinetic processes, thus enabling natural outward diffusion of the moisture to take place again.
