Re-coatings with a waterproof product or installing a hide-and-seek is effective in treating my Moisture rise!

IT’S FALSE: The electromagnetic field carries water molecules into the materials, once the capillaries of water-saturated materials, the walls will sweat and the water will evaporate naturally.

When you block these areas of evaporation by a coating (coated, panelling, paint, tile, tapestry etc…) the wall will no longer be able to sweat because you will have to clog the pores of the materials (the human body also sweats through the pores of the skin, this is important in order to regulate our body temperature).

Since the rising damp was not stopped at its origin, the water molecules, still carried by the electromagnetic field, will find other areas of evaporation and the degradations will be visible in other places, especially above this (s) caches-miser(s).

This so-called “hide-and-seek” alternative does not in any way address the origin of the problem, on the contrary it increases costs and favours successive repairs.
