Buildings represent value – material value as well as ideal value. Often older buildings have their own individual charm. However, they are also especially in need of protection and renovation: Penetrating moisture is the worse enemy of a building; in particular, it threatens the substance of the building and the quality of living in the parts of the building contacting the soil. Today, basements represent much more than storage area or laundry room. As versatile as the purpose, appearance and materials of older homes and buildings are, so are the initial situations and damage symptoms. What is certain: as soon as water penetrates the building, the destruction begins. Quick and especially professional renovation is therefore very important.

The main reasons for moisture in the masonry are (aside from leaky pipes or roofs):

• capillary effect –missing horizontal barriers enable the material to "absorb" water and the dissolved salts contained therein like a sponge.
• condensation – water vapour, which is present in every building and home, condenses (e.g. due to a thermal bridge) at cold areas.
• osmosis – groundwater (usually low salt content) often penetrates salt materials, because it is following its urge to find the greatest possible dilution. This leads to strong currents that result in a water level increase within the masonry. At the evaporation point, the crystallization of the transported salts often lead to additional damage.
