Who hasn't experienced it at some point - the mustiness
of damp walls in old buildings with insufficient insulation and spots of
mould making rooms impossible to live in? this is usually the end phase
of a process which has been going on for years, and which cannot be treated
cosmetically and where a n effective dampcourse installation is the only
solution
Electro Osmosis
The Electro-Osmosis system introduces a small and safe electric current into the wall just above ground level through a series of titanium anodes inserted into the brickwork. Its effect is to repel the rising moisture molecules down the walls and back into the ground. As long as the positive charge is maintained, the protected walls remain dry and free of damp.
Installation is tidy, quick and effective. A series of small holes are drilled in the outside brickwork just above ground level.Tiny anodes are then inserted, linked by a special connecting wire which is 'pointed' into the wall. The finished result is virtually invisible and the disruption is minimal.

Chemical Injection
Alternatively, we can introduce a chemical barrier of the type supplied by Palace Chemicals Limited. This is backed by long experience and is covered by a 20/30 year assured protection plan. This technique involves drilling holes in the lower part of the affected walls and injecting chemicals under pressure. The result is an impervious barrier that works exactly as a modern conventional DPC would work, but with minimal interference with the structure.
