Wall drainage / Dehumidification of walls
Only dry walls guarantee a healthy living!
Wall drainage and dehumidification of walls are both preventative measures against damp walls. But both practices come from different approaches!
Wall drainage   Dehumidification of walls
Stops rising damp from the ouside or below into the masonwork by renewing the horizontal damp-proof course or vertical insulating. There are three alternatives:
1. Renewal of the outside insulation by digging up, drainage and sealing it.
2. Renewal of the horizontal damp-proof course by using chemical injection (hot, cold, with pressure, without pressure)
3. Renewal of the horizontal damp-proof course by using the mechanical method with chromium alloyed steel, wall saw, exchanging the wall, drill core method, etc.
  Remove of dampness and protection from moisture penetration. There are five alternatives:
1. Microwave drying
2. Using infrared panels
3. Electro osmosis
4. Electrophysical method
5. Electro cybernetic method of ECODRY (based on IRS Impulse Resonance Technology)

ECODRY dehumidification of walls with ZETA II
An external insulation doesn't protect against capillary rising damp. A horizontal damp-proof course would help, if it was really blocking the rising damp, but sadly this won't work in most cases.   Infrared panels and microwave systems don't work well against capillary rising damp. Electroosmosis is only successful to a limited degree, electrophysical systems are recommended. The ECODRY electro cybernetic system fights capillary rising damp verifiable suitable!
The main problems of barrier system:
- None of these systems dehumidifies walls in an active way. Masonwork has to dry in a natural way.
- This process takes a long time (e.g. a natural stone wall of 75 cm thickness takes more than 15 years to dry in a natural way).
- Often the barrier won't work. More than two thirds of them fail.
- Harmful agents of injections put the statics on great risk.
  But also electrical systems can cause problems:
- The system doesn't help (and was sold as a "magic box" that solves every problem)
- Even the manufacturer doesn't know about the right technology
- A consultant sells a helping device but offers no support
Attention!
Mistakes can't be repaired! (an injection can't be removed!)
but! Systems are reversible and can be removed without any problems. This is especially important for monument conservators!
