Pressing water, on the other hand, is a rather rare source of moisture. Often, multiple causes of dampness occur simultaneously. For this reason you should <a title=\"More about moisture expertise from Haustrocknung.ch\" href=\"\/en\/humidity-survey\/\">have damp masonry inspected by building experts<\/a>. The following sections refer to the damage mechanisms of each cause.<\/p><p>Condensation occurs when moist air hits a cold surface, such as the outside of a cool glass bottle. In buildings, this can lead to further damage over time, such as mold growth, musty odors and decomposition of the building fabric. There are many causes of high humidity: incorrect heating and ventilation, water vapor from cooking and drying clothes. In general, ventilation should only take place when it is cooler outside than inside, as warm air can bring more moisture into the house than cool air.<\/p><p>Defective installations on buildings are often responsible for moisture damage. Examples include flat roofs, gutters, downspouts, cisterns and rain barrels. The condition of building components such as bricks, stones, mortar, plaster, wall bases, weatherproof coatings, barrier layers and silicone joints can also play a role. Weak points in the building envelope, such as cracks in masonry, window ledges or balconies; structures that conduct water to the masonry, such as leaky windows, doors, heat exchangers exhaust air grilles, ventilation systems and rain deflectors are other causes.<\/p><p>Capillaries are microscopically small \"tubes\", gaps or cavities in the building substance. If moisture rises in the building substance via the capillaries, this is also referred to as the \"capillary effect\". This phenomenon is promoted by the naturally negatively charged wall. Then the building substance absorbs moisture, similar to a sponge.<\/p><p>Oppressive sources of moisture are relatively rare. They indicate that the building was constructed in an unfavorable location. Examples of oppressive moisture include slope water, strata water, or periodically high groundwater, as well as springs or water veins in the vicinity of the building.

Typical damage that can occur in damp masonry is mold growth, musty odor, efflorescence, spalling and rot. The causes of this damage can be attributed to biological, chemical and physical processes.<\/p><ol><li>Biological processes: Mold can grow in as little as a few days when humidity is high and wall surfaces are cool. Mold is usually accompanied by musty odors and is a serious health hazard to people in the building. Typical symptoms are irritation and allergic reactions of the eyes, nose, respiratory tract and skin; concentration problems, dizziness, headaches, colds and coughs. Molds break down the minerals in the walls, damaging them.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Chemical processes: Mineral salts enter the building substance with the moisture. These can attack the reinforcement in the reinforced concrete. The resulting rust requires more space and leads to spalling on the wall surface. In addition, moisture can dissolve lime from the mortar or concrete and convert it into calcium nitrate. This leads to systematic weathering of the building fabric. Typical signs of this are efflorescence (light gray spots) on the wall surface.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Physical processes: Temperature fluctuations in the affected rooms and within the damp walls promote physical damage to the building fabric. When parts of the wall surface freeze, the probability of spalling increases. In addition, salts dissolved in the moisture can crystallize and increase in volume. This increases the pressure in the wall and promotes spalling.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f64c01 elementor-widget-widescreen__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0f64c01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.haustrocknung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/aufsteigende-feuchtigkeit-abplatzung.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7184\" alt=\"Rising damp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.haustrocknung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/aufsteigende-feuchtigkeit-abplatzung.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.haustrocknung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/aufsteigende-feuchtigkeit-abplatzung-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.haustrocknung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/aufsteigende-feuchtigkeit-abplatzung-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66c95ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66c95ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Such spalling is a typical sign of capillary rising damp.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e7242c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e7242c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"#top\">\u2191 Back to top<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-150e137 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"150e137\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"erkennen\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd34ad0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd34ad0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.

Possible causes, are condensation, capillary rising damp or pressing moisture sources. Alternatively, defective structural installations or damage to the building envelope may be the reason for the damp building fabric (<a href=\"#ursachen\">more on the causes under 2.<\/a>). While the defective structural installations must be rehabilitated, you have the following options in case of condensation, rising damp or an oppressive source of moisture.<\/p><p>High humidity and condensation is mostly due to incorrect ventilation or insufficient ventilation. Humidity-controlled ventilation systems can therefore provide a remedy here. For cool wall surfaces, a heating system can help. Horizontal barrier and electrophysical barrier are suitable against rising damp in the wall. In the case of an oppressive source of moisture, the only remedy is usually a vertical barrier, which is usually created in combination with a drainage system that directs water away from the building. These are the methods at a glance:<\/p><ol><li>Intelligent ventilation systems, such as <a title=\"More about basement ventilation\" href=\"\/en\/basement-ventilation\/\">Cellar vents<\/a>, <a title=\"More about individual room ventilation\" href=\"\/en\/single-room-ventilation\/\">Individual room ventilation systems<\/a> or <a title=\"More about solar ventilation\" href=\"\/en\/solar-ventilation\/\">Solar vents.<\/a>, lead to lower humidity and noticeably improve the indoor climate.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><a title=\"More about solar heating\" href=\"\/en\/solar-heating\/\">Ecological heating ventilation<\/a> and economical heating systems, such as the <a title=\"More about the base heating\" href=\"\/en\/baseboard-heating\/\">Baseboard heating<\/a>, can mitigate the problem of cool wall surfaces. This reduces the risk of condensation.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>As part of the horizontal barrier, a waterproof layer is inserted at a certain height, which bridges the entire diameter of the wall. This prevents moisture from rising.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>The capillary effect is promoted by the naturally negatively charged wall. During the <a title=\"More about basement dehumidification\" href=\"\/en\/basement-drying\/\">electrophysical barrier<\/a> a positive electrical potential is induced in the wall. This prevents moisture from rising.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Vertical barriers can be installed on the outside or inside. In this case, the entire wall is covered with a moisture-impermeable layer. For the outside vertical barrier, the wall must be completely exposed.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section

They can also be installed flexibly and with comparatively little effort.<br><br><\/li>\n<li>Heating ventilation, such as the ecological <a title=\"More about solar ventilation\" href=\"\/en\/solar-ventilation\/\">Solar ventilation<\/a> or auxiliary heating, can effectively prevent condensation and accelerate the drying out of damp building fabric.<br><br><\/li>\n<li>Horizontal barriers can be installed from the inside and reliably prevent capillary rising damp. However, there is a risk that parts of the building fabric below the barrier will remain damp or become damp again. Since the entire wall diameter must be traversed for an effective moisture barrier, this method requires deep intervention in the building fabric, which can also be associated with structural risks and is not reversible. Injection methods sometimes involve the use of sensitive chemicals.<br><br><\/li>\n<li>The electrophysical barrier is scientifically recognized and requires minimal structural intervention. The process permanently dries out the entire building structure down to the basement floor. The process is harmless to humans and the environment. No electrosmog is generated.<br><br><\/li>\n<li>The inside vertical barrier cannot prevent the wall from remaining damp on the outside. The outside vertical barrier, on the other hand, is very complex to implement because the entire wall must be exposed. With the outside vertical barrier, moisture can continue to enter the wall from below. In addition, hermetic sealing of the wall is usually undesirable because the wall can no longer \"breathe\". Therefore, this method should be used only when there is no other option, such as in the case of an oppressive source of moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ce28b62 elementor-section-boxed
