Translation of "Aufsteigende feuchtigkeit" in English

Increased moisture and humidity are common problems of old and new buildings.

Today's technology provides several solutions to the problem of rising damp:

Measures to prevent rising damp will preserve the building and increase its value....

The barrier layers produced accordingly provide effective protection from rising damp in the masonry.

How do I know if I have Rising Damp?

Rising damp was stopped here with KÖSTER Crisin.

The combating of rising damp in walls by inserting insulating layers is known.

The comfortable Thai seat cushion regulates the drafts, ascending soil chilliness and humidity in favor of the user.

It would therefore be advantageous also to protect these wooden baseboards against the rising moisture.

Rising damp in the masonry was threatening to damage a valuable fresco in a chapel in Upper Bavaria.

The radiant heat of the wall heating system keeps moisture rising from the foundations away from the walls.

This rented apartment had cracks in the floor, which resulted in moisture seeping up from the ground below.

It has been found that it was possible to use the apparatus satisfactorily and with success at the points at which the apparatus mentioned in the introduction were unsuccessful, which permits the use of the apparatus anywhere where perceptibly rising dampness is present and, in fact, independently of the constellation of the interfering field present, i.e. the interfering field may be of magnetic, electromagnetic or electrical nature or be formed as an interaction of these forces.

The electro-osmotic methods make use of the phenomenon of electro-osmosis to brake the humidity rising in the capillaries of masonry walls and to press it downwardly.

Thus the humidity (water) rising in the outer fleece due to capillary action is considerably heated so that considerable amounts of water vapor are conveyed to the air in the stream channel.

Rising damp usually becomes visibile in the lower part of walls as mould on the coating, paint peeling off, obvious colour changes in the mortar and the finishing.

I wanted to protect the wood structure against the ascending moisture, therefore the application of this product seemed to me ideally.

A mixture of LDPE and a polyolefin based elastic-thermoplastic material is used to make the barrier sheets, which protect masonry against rising damp and are offered in several different thicknesses from 0.1 to 0.2 mm.

It shows a very particular typology of damages, since some walls turn out to be without color up to a certain height, and not below that, as it could be presumed if it were simply a matter of climbing humidity.

Why we should choose our company, in the case of, if someone wants to take care of the environment, ownership of the walls against rising damp injection?

In order to be able to detect, in particular, rising wetness, for example rising water, early, it is proposed that the detection device be arranged below the battery contacts or below the battery base.

"Flying Rivers" is what people in Brazil call the humidity rising from the rainforest that supplies large parts of Latin America with rain.

The work and learning assignment "Building the walls of a weekend house" (Uhe/Meyser 2001, p. 33 ff) which was developed as an example for implementing activity-based learning in inter-company vocational training incorporates concrete exercises (heading bond, English bond, Flemish bond with insulation against rising damp) into the more comprehensive assignment "Building a weekend house" with a corresponding ground plan, layout plan and section, following the "self-contained activity" approach.

A horizontal waterproofing beneath walls in new construction is required to avoid rising moisture due to capillary action in masonry or concrete.

The base must be smooth (±3 mm deviation / 2m2), dry and protected from moisture rising from the bottom (using a special waterproofing DPM).

A humidity evaporated from land surface is condensed at clouds and later a wind mixes it up with sand (dust) and it again returns to earth in the form of rain at result of heaviness.

There is hardly any ascending humidity here, since very little precipitation falls throughout the year and the ground water level is many meters deep.

The building is finalised following german building standards with double glazing, isolation against uprising wetness and with a heating system called 'Roemer' in nearly all rooms.

As essential constructional measures, the causes of the elevated dampness of wood and stonework are to be determined and to remove as well as to exclude renewed dampness-impacts, especially through good insulation against ascending humidity and condensation and sufficient ventilation-circumstances.
