Not protected, brickwork will absorb soil moisture.
therefore problematically:
due tu capillary effect, water will flow through the whole wall and will evaporate
Water naturally rises upwards, brickwork works as a pump
Salts, carried with the water, infiltrate the brickwork
those salts crystallize and show at the wall`s surface
Without effective rataliatory action the aftermath is forseeable and hardly to eliminate
Paint and wallpaper will peel of the wall, also plaster
brickwork will be destroyed irresistably
structural-physical and static damages will arise
heat insulation will be diminished and heating costs will rise
health risk will increase e.g. by mold
Your solution
MAUERPOL is the perfect solution, a method based on the active electro-osmosis-method for permanently dry walls environmentally friendly because of no chemicals used
gentle to brickwork, no earth moving, no destruction of the walls necessary
well priced because it needs to be installed only once and works permanently
The MAUERPOL-System is effective by using a special form of current.

Who has invented it?
The history of the electro-osmosis-method is more than 200 years old. In 1806 Prof. Ferdinand Friedrich von Reuss observed a movement of water molecules from plus to minus in porouse soil with applied direct voltage when doing tests with mud. From around 1900 up to the 1930s turf, brown coal and grain were dried with this method and from 1935 on moistured walls. Paul Ernst developed the first system for walldrying and received the swiss patent for it.
From plus to minus without chemicals or extensive earthwork
The electro-osmosis-method uses a naturally existing electrical potencial in brickwork and ground to dry up walls. By artificially reversing polarity the movement of the water is influenced
The problem
Moistured walls have a certain electrical polarity and this naturally electrical potencial is measurable. Plus is on the bottom of the wall, minus at the top. Like flowers in a vase through the stem, there is a movement of water from bottom to top and that is how your brickwork gets moisture.
The drying up process
The drying up process starts directly with the reversal of the electric potential, since no more water can rise to the top. The current flows until the moisture has been expelled from all areas of the generated field. The MAUERPOL-system achieves a soft, gentle draining of the brickwork. For a permanently dry wall the MAUERPOL system, once implemented, has to be continuously in operation.
The artificially created electrical field functions as a horizontal barrier permanently preventing moisture from rising up the wall. A specific application of the electrodes can not only function as a horizontal barrier, but can also prevent a vertical spread of moisture.
