Find the answer you are looking for about rising damp, our products and the application process in seconds.
A moisture problem caused by water in the ground being drawn upwards inside the wall by capillary force. It is usually seen on ground floors and in basements; salt deposits at the base of the wall, blistering paint and crumbling plaster are its most typical signs.
Full answerThe signs: a damp stain reaching 50-150 cm above the base of the wall, white salt deposits, blistering paint and a musty smell. The damp increases in rainy periods. If it starts at the base of the wall and climbs upwards, it is most likely rising damp.
Full answerRising damp is water from the ground climbing up inside the wall and starts at the base of the wall. Condensation is moisture in the air condensing on cold surfaces; it appears around window edges and in ceiling corners. One calls for injection, the other for ventilation.
Full answerNo, it can also be seen in new buildings. A rising damp problem can develop in any structure whose foundation damp-proofing is missing, incomplete or faulty.
Full answerYes, long-term exposure to damp can lead to health problems. Mould spores can cause respiratory diseases, allergies and asthma. Children and the elderly are particularly at risk.
Full answerIt forms when salty water from the ground rises inside the wall and evaporates at its surface. It is one of the clearest signs of rising damp.
Full answerOn basement walls set into the soil, water gets in actively from outside; DampStop injection is not the solution. PU injection (E101 Pur In) and crystalline waterproofing (N102 Crystal 2K) works are planned on the basis of an expert assessment. On ground-floor walls with no contact with the soil, DampStop + HydroFix are applied, with the Damp Box (Nem Kutusu) if needed.
Full answerNo, anti-damp paint is only a temporary fix and does not solve the underlying problem. For a permanent solution, the source of the damp must be cut off with DampStop injection and the surface renewed with HydroFix damp-proofing plaster. The correct order: first strip the old plaster and apply HydroFix; once the plaster has dried (24–48 hours), inject DampStop.
Full answerThey address different problems. Damp injection is effective against rising damp, is applied from the inside, requires no excavation and is far more economical.
Full answerRising damp: DampStop + HydroFix. Surface moisture: HydroFix. Water leaks: acrylic gel. Facades/pools: Crystal. If there is also damp in the foundation and columns: the Damp Box (triple system).
Full answerFirst identify the source; with condensation, better ventilation and heating are often enough. For damp rising from the base of the wall, the permanent fix is HydroFix + DampStop applied to the wall (with the landlord’s consent). The Damp Box does not replace this: it carries water reaching the foundations and rising in the columns back into the ground and is part of the triple system; it plugs into a socket and can move out with you.
Full answerHoles are drilled about 10 cm above floor level at 10 cm intervals, angled 30–45° downwards. The holes should be about 80% (4/5) of the wall thickness deep. The prepared DampStop mixture is poured into the holes with a funnel; no pump is needed (a low-pressure pump is optional, only for professional, fast application).
Full answerYes, the silane/siloxane-based material forms a permanent, water-repellent damp barrier inside the wall. When applied correctly, re-injection is not required.
Full answerIt can be used on all wall types: brick, stone, concrete, breeze block and mixed construction.
Full answerThe concentrate is mixed with water at a ratio of 1:9. One litre of concentrate yields 10 litres of ready-to-use material.
Full answerNo. It is water-based, odourless and harmless to health; it can be used safely in occupied spaces.
Full answerA 14 mm diameter drill bit should be used (the kit includes a 14 mm bit).
Full answerPlaster comes before the injection: strip the old plaster and apply HydroFix; once it has dried (24–48 hours), inject DampStop. After the injection, wait at least 48 hours and then seal the holes.
Full answerYes, using them together is recommended for the most effective result. DampStop cuts off the damp at its source, while HydroFix protects the surface.
Full answerThe kit contains 5 litres of concentrate, a drill bit, a funnel and a filling container. Everything needed to start the application right away, in one package.
Full answerNormal plaster lets damp through. HydroFix cuts off capillary water passage, yet thanks to its vapour permeability it lets the wall breathe.
Full answerA single 2-3 mm coat is the standard application. In cases of heavy damp, 2 coats are applied; wait at least 24 hours between coats.
Full answerIt can be applied between +5 °C and +30 °C. The ideal temperature range is 15 – 25 °C.
Full answerNo, it is designed for interior use. For facade applications, Crystal 2K should be used.
Full answerAdd 100 ml of liquid additive to 2 litres of water, then slowly add the 10 kg of powder. Mix with a mixer for 3-4 minutes, let it rest for 5 minutes and mix again.
Full answerYes, it cuts off capillary water passage. However, where there is negative water pressure, such as on basement walls set into the soil, HydroFix alone is not the solution; PU injection (E101 Pur In) and crystalline waterproofing (N102 Crystal 2K) are needed.
Full answerA drying device that uses a very low-frequency electromagnetic wave to carry water reaching the foundations and rising in the columns back into the ground. On the walls it works with DampStop + HydroFix as the triple system; it plugs into a socket, uses 3–5 W and needs no chemicals or demolition.
Full answerThe effect can be tracked with moisture measurements from the first weeks. Depending on wall thickness, complete drying takes 6–12 months.
Full answer3–5 W, about as little energy as a night light. To be effective, it must stay plugged in 24/7.
Full answerA single unit covers about 900 m². Mounting it on a load-bearing wall in the central part of the building is recommended.
Full answerYes, this is recommended. DampStop and HydroFix work only in wall elements; the Damp Box carries water reaching the foundations and rising in the columns back into the ground. Used together (the triple system), the three solve rising damp in walls, foundations and columns.
Full answerA waterproofing method that penetrates the pores of concrete and forms a crystal structure. On contact with water, the crystals grow and block water passage.
Full answerIt is used in concrete structures in constant contact with water, such as water tanks, pools, basements, tunnels and lift pits.
Full answerA pressurised injection method used to stop water passing through cracks and joints. It is intended above all for areas with active water leaks.
Full answerIn cases of active water leaks: basement cracks, tunnel joints, pool cracks and concrete construction joints.
Full answerAcrylic gel forms a flexible structure and accommodates moving cracks. Polyurethane injection forms a rigid structure. For a permanent, flexible solution, acrylic gel is preferred.
Full answerYou can measure at a door or window reveal. A typical Turkish brick wall is usually 20 cm thick.
Full answerThe calculation gives an average value; it can vary by ±30%. To be safe, buying 10-20% extra product is recommended.

Full answerOur assessments are online and free: send photos via WhatsApp or our Request a Quote form. For jobs that require professional application, such as basements or concrete retaining walls, a chargeable on-site survey is planned by region.
Full answerFix the source and let the wall dry; then scrape, level with thin repair mortar, use a stain-blocking primer and breathable paint. Never paint a wet wall.
Full answerWe cannot tell you whether you are covered; it depends on your policy and the insurer decides. Share the adjuster's findings and we can comment on the technical side.
Full answerNo; our products are for damp walls and basement/concrete waterproofing. On terraces, terrace waterproofing is the real solution; clear repellents only protect the surface.
