We are running already for some time an alojamento local ( bed and breakfast ) in carvoeiro and the building urgently needed an upgrade , so we decided to do a thoroughfull renovation of the property. However after our B & B was completely renovated and running again we discovered humidity was coming back on the new plaster on the walls . So we contacted a building engineer to do a survey to give an advice how to solve the problem . The engineer concluded that despite the plaster was replaced on several walls , the walls theirselfes were still effected with rising damp issues , so the humidity could penetrate through the new plaster , again causing humidity issues on the outside of the wall. The engineer advised to contact Drymat Systems Portugal to take care of the problem. So Martin from Drymat Systems Portugal did as well a survey and confirmed that the walls had rising damp problems . We learnt that the installation of the system comes with a 20 years guarantee and even a money back guarantee would the rising damp not disappear , so we did not hesitate to decide to have the system installed. Well , we have not been proven wrong , as the controle measurements show , rising damp has been decreasing substantually and the issues with humidity in plaster and paint did disappear. We will be happy to recommend Martin to anyone who has rising damp issues in his house , for a humidity survey which is even free of charge.

I will be straight to the point , a sublime and efficient system which totally solved the humidity problems in my villa.

In my apartment which is around 30 years old , I discovered months after the purchase an increasing problem with rising damp in several walls in my apartment. So I contacted Martin Verloop for a survey and he confirmed my fear of an existing rising damp problem. Well I have no regret having the system installed , it was the investment my apartment needed , no rising damp anymore , nu humidity , no bad smells and no repairs anymore on plaster and paint while the walls keep on being dry , I couldn´t be more satisfied.

We completely renovated our basement into an apartment , removed all plaster and replastered again the whole basement . But we were not able to solve the problem with the walls because they were still wet. So two months after the renovation the new plaster was already turning black again due to the humidity in the walls. Then we had the drymat system installed and in the first months we noticed already that it became less and less mouldy , after 1,5 years the controle measurement , done by Drymat Systems Portugal confirmed what we already knew , all walls showed a decrease in humidity level between 70 and 85 % , it´s very comfortable now to live in the apartment with all that humidity gone , so we will recommend anybody with a rising damp problem to contact Drymat Systems Portugal for a humidity survey which is even for free .

After finishing the construction of my house I noticed that during the winter the basement always showed signs of humidity like the painting close to the bottom was falling down.

During the following years I tried to resolve the problem. I applied various painting products, which where recommended for this problem, but without a satisfying solution. Finally I installed a dehumidifier, which resolved the problem but has had the disadvantage that the electricity costs increased and someone has to be there to clear the water tank when it is full. That means, you have to switch it off when you leave the house for a few days.

Fortunately the problem was resolved by installing a Drymat system at the end of the year 2009. It does not only removes the humidity permanently, keeping the basement dry and without smelling moldy, it decreases also the yearly electricity costs. Final result: complete satisfaction.

This is to confirm that the Drymat Unit you installed around 3 years ago realy has been drying our house.

We have an old house with 60 cm thick walls and year by year it was smelling moldy and we had to repaint and on some places replaster our house yearly because the paint and plaster kept on falling from the walls.
But after the installation of the drymat unit, only 6 months later the house was not smelling moldy anymore and the dehumidifiers were giving less and less water. After 3 yearly control measurements the humidity levels in our house decreased from 450 liters of water per qubiq meter wall till under 82 liters of water per qubiq meter wall.

No need to say we are very satisfied with the system, it has solved our severe rising damp problem and we can recommend anybody to have a free humidity survey done by Drymat Systems.
