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 answerUsually caused by rising damp or external water pressure. The solution: 1) a damp barrier with DampStop injection, 2) surface coating with HydroFix damp-proofing plaster, 3) support with the Damp Box (Nem Kutusu).
Full answerNo, anti-damp paint is only a temporary fix and does not solve the underlying problem. For a permanent solution, first cut off the source of the damp with DampStop injection, then coat the surface with HydroFix plaster.
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. Facade / pool: Crystal. Extra support: the Damp Box.
Full answerThe Damp Box is ideal: it plugs into a socket, requires no work on the walls, and you can take it with you when you move.
Full answerHoles are drilled 5-10 cm above the base of the wall at 10-12 cm intervals. The holes should be about 2/3 of the wall thickness deep. The prepared mixture is injected into the holes with a funnel or a pressure pump.
Full answerYes, the material forms a permanent 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 12 mm diameter drill bit should be used.
Full answerYou should wait at least 48 hours; HydroFix damp-proofing plaster can then be applied.
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 +35°C. The ideal temperature range is 15-25°C.
Full answerNo, it is designed for interior use. For facade applications, Crystal 1K or 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 completely cuts off capillary water passage. However, in environments with negative water pressure, DampStop injection may additionally be required.
Full answerAn electronic device that emits electromagnetic waves to push rising damp back down. It plugs into a socket, uses no chemicals and runs silently.
Full answerThe first effects appear within 2-4 weeks. Complete drying of the walls takes 3 to 12 months, depending on wall thickness and damp intensity.
Full answerIt consumes about as little energy as a night light. To be effective, it must stay plugged in 24/7.
Full answerDepending on the model, it covers between 154 m² and 3,216 m². Choose the model that suits the size of your space.
Full answerYes, combined use is recommended. When the mechanical barrier (DampStop) and the electromagnetic effect (Damp Box) are combined, the most effective result is achieved.
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 answerCrystal 1K is single-component and intended for standard applications. With its two-component structure, Crystal 2K withstands high water pressure and suits more demanding conditions.
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.
