Damaged layers of plaster, mouldy smell, unpleasantly cold rooms ... Those are just a few of the bad consequences of wall dampness - an often occurring problem with residential, industrial and other buildings.
Dampness influences the durability and value of building objects in a decisive way.
The durability of isolatory millboard is limited. On average there are already damages in 20 years old houses, especially in the cellar area, because the vertical and horizontal insulation is not protection enough against the soil moisture. 
Through capillary forces the dampness rises up to 2 m in the walls. At the same time salt from the soil comes into the walls with the rising moisture. The moisture and the dissolving salts contained in the wall are drying up on the surface of the wall.
Saliferous formations (saliter), chemical decomposition of plaster and wall are the results. Frost quickens those proceedings. Refurbishing plaster and so-called demoisturising plaster alone can not dry up damp walls.
