If there is reason to believe the problem is coming from above, our DRY-EXPERTs will check for any signs of damage to your roof. A leak could be caused by a missing/loose roof tile or damaged connective joints, for example.

If we have not found any problem up to that point, we will check your pipes for signs of leaks.

Once the source of the issues has been identified any leaks and joints will be repaired, drains and gutters cleaned or installed if nonexistent.

Condensation Damp

– Causes mold growth, musty smells, and peeling paint due to excess indoor moisture. Our permanent fix includes installing smart extractor fans and anti-condensation coatings to control humidity.


Penetrating Damp

– Leads to water stains, crumbling plaster, and cold, damp walls from leaks in roofs, gutters, or walls. We identify the source and permanently repair drainage, insulation, and roofing issues.


Rising Damp

– Results in bubbling paint, crumbling plaster, and a constant damp smell due to moisture rising from the ground. Our hydrophobic injections, breathable plaster, and specialized coatings keep walls permanently dry.

A breathable, moisture-resistant barrier is essential. Modern, water-repellent insulation combined with effective sealants on walls and windows helps prevent water ingress while allowing moisture to escape, thus reducing condensation and mold growth. Additionally, good roof maintenance and window seals prevent leaks that contribute to damp conditions indoors.

By investing in insulation upgrades and waterproofing now, you can protect your home against the elements, improving comfort and indoor air quality.

During this time, homes often trap moisture against cooler exterior walls, leading to condensation and mold growth. To reduce risk, regular ventilation is key, along with using mold-resistant materials and products that regulate moisture.

Take preventive action this season to keep your home healthy.

There are three main types of damp that commonly occur, especially as a result of bad ventilation. The three most common types of damp are:

Condensation – This is when moisture is trapped and allowed to build up inside your property combined with the lack of proper ventilation. If this is the case, you will see water droplets forming on unexpected surfaces like windows and room corners. Over time, this can cause mold spores, mildew, or paint bubbling.

Penetrating damp – This is caused when moisture (commonly from a leak in pipes, gutters, or your roof) is seeping into the walls or ceiling from an external source.

Rising damp – This is where damp is attacking the property from the ground up. This can be seen in skirting boards (causing them to rot), flaking plaster, or stained and peeling paint. Spanish houses often lack proper floor isolation making raising damp incredibly common.

Blocked gutters and drains can cause water not to flow off properly causing it to sit on and seep through joints and into your walls and ceiling below due to lack of proper insulation.

To treat condensation, we will need to improve the air circulation and ventilation within your property.
The most effective and permanent methods include investing in the installation of the correct ventilation system (especially in kitchens or bathrooms) and our special anti-condensation coating. With ventilation systems, in particular, a smart extraction unit (humidistat-controlled) is the best kind that can be fitted to a bathroom or kitchen.

One of the reasons may be incorrect ventilation. Often the inhabitants leave the windows open too briefly or they leave the windows slightly open thinking it will exchange the air over the course of the day.

Many people do not realize that when the windows are only slightly opened, a complete exchange of air takes too long.

Even if the windows are opened for hours, this way of airing hardly helps with mold. It undercools the walls and costs energy. That is why, in bathrooms, smart fans are recommended that switch on automatically with appropriate humidity sensors and prevent mold.

It is generally recommended to open as many windows as possible for five minutes two to three times a day. This method is called “shock ventilation” and makes sure as much air as possible is exchanged within a small amount of time, preventing the building from cooling out while keeping the air inside fresh and dry.

Here they are:

- Use Your A/C

Air conditioning systems work by removing moisture and heat from the air and sending the cool, dry air inside while venting the heat and moisture outside.

- Make Sure Your Home Is Properly Ventilated

For any areas in your home where there is typically more moisture present, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, you should ensure that these areas have adequate ventilation.

- Make Sure Your Home Is Properly Insulated

A home that is properly insulated will not only keep your home warmer in the winter but cooler in the summer as well. By making sure everything is sealed up, you can keep the temperature in your home more consistent and also keep excess humidity out.

- Invest In A Dehumidifier

Dehumidifiers are used specifically to remove the humidity in an enclosed area. If the humidity in your home is a problem for you, a dehumidifier may be your best option.

- Call in the (DRY-)EXPERT

If you tried all of the things mentioned above but still have problems with humidity and/or mold, we recommend you contact DRY-EXPERT.

We have humidity experts trained in Germany and equipped with hi-tech humidity-measuring devices to examine your specific situation and offer the best permanent solution.

This is caused by a lack of proper ground and floor insulation combined with the natural capillarity of your walls. The perfect treatment would be to properly insulate the whole floor of your house which would probably set you back by a good fraction of the purchase price.

Luckily there’s a cheaper, just as effective method: hydrophobic injections. This method consists of a polymer transmitted by paraffin oil and injected right into your wall via injection bottles. This will create a horizontal barrier and stop more water from rising into your walls.

Compared to different injectable compounds used by other companies, our products from the German Manufacturer BKM.Mannesmann do not close the pores of the masonry but instead only cover them with a thin film letting it still breathe.

Combined with the 25-year warranty given by the manufacturer on the injection's effectiveness and our waterproof but breathable plaster system, your walls will be dry for good.

Low humidity also affects your body temperature, producing a cold feeling even when the temperature is high. Bacteria and viruses will thrive and can cause repeated health issues for you and your family.

Low humidity causes wooden floors and furniture to shrink and warp. The wallpaper on your walls might start to peel around the edges and loosen, and mold may grow behind the damaged wallpaper. In conclusion, when humidity levels in your home are too low, the environment becomes compromised. We recommend keeping it between 45% and 60% at all times.

Damp is the homeowner’s worst nightmare.
If it arises, it is a huge cause of concern. Any signs of dampness in your property are sure to deter potential buyers.
When selling your home, questions about damp are bound to come up. If you have had damp issues in the past, then it’s certainly worth investing in damp prevention measures, before you put it on the market to sell.
So, yes – damp proofing is a great way to improve the value of your home and increase the likelihood that it will sell. A property with clear signs of damp will take a significant hit on its value, and be sold for a much lower price. What’s more, the attribute of being damp-proof is an attractive attribute, especially if you have an older property.
So, although damp proofing is an investment, it is one that is definitely worthwhile if you’re about to put your property on the market. With some Damp Proofing works, a guarantee is issued, this can be presented to the new buyer for peace of mind.
