Thomas Rudolf from Thun
“Since discovering home-dry and OMBRELLO, damp basements have no longer been a problem for me. I’ve had an OMBRELLO wall drying system installed in all my older properties — the best solution for drying damp walls.”

Thomas Rudolf from Thun

Gabriel Turke from Uster
“We could barely use the basement rooms in our residential and commercial building in Uster. I’m glad I chose the OMBRELLO wall drying system in January 2006. Damp walls have no longer been an issue since then, and I can even use the basement for storage.”

Gabriel Turke from Uster

Marianne and Daniel Probst from Ostermundigen
“When I first heard about home-dry and its building drying technology, I was very sceptical. But with my technical background, I soon realised it must be something special. Our house had suffered from severe damp for years, causing a musty smell, salt deposits and mould on the walls. After Mr Wild installed the OMBRELLO R7+ in the basement, we soon felt and saw the effect. Within six months, the guaranteed result had been achieved: our basement walls were dry and the musty smell was gone. We are delighted and more than 100% satisfied.”

Marianne and Daniel Probst from Ostermundigen

Daniel Adamus from Toffen
“The OMBRELLO drying system proved exceptionally effective. We had suspected water from the hillside was causing the damp. At the time, we didn’t know that the water supply pipe was leaking and saturating the ground. OMBRELLO was already reducing moisture in the walls while the pipe was still leaking.”

Daniel Adamus from Toffen

The W. family from Zofingen
“We had been looking for a solution for our damp basement walls for a long time. When our neighbours recommended home-dry gmbh, we were initially very sceptical because there were critical views of the drying method online. The drying guarantee persuaded us to have the wall drying device installed. Within a few months, moisture measurements showed a clear improvement. The basement now feels pleasant and the basement smell has disappeared. Moisture levels continue to fall year by year. The device definitely works and has a lasting effect. We warmly recommend home-dry.”

The W. family from Zofingen

Helene Artmann from Uster
“I am very sensitive to radiation and was concerned that OMBRELLO might affect my health. home-dry promised to take the device back if I noticed any negative changes. Shortly after installation, I even felt that I was doing better. The damp is gone and we are all feeling very well.”

Helene Artmann from Uster

Katharina and Ulrich Fischer from Thun
“Our property was so badly affected by damp that mould was growing on the walls. Since the OMBRELLO wall drying system was installed, we have more usable space, a healthier living environment and simply a better feeling at home.”

Katharina and Ulrich Fischer from Thun

Fredi Stocker from Hombrechtikon
“My historic farmhouse had suffered from severe damp for years. Even the wooden crates in my basement were rotting. Thanks to my investment in the OMBRELLO wall drying system from home-dry, I was able to turn these previously unusable rooms into a woodworking workshop a few years ago. I’m delighted.”

Fredi Stocker from Hombrechtikon

Verena Bernhard from Biel
“Our historic house, right on Lake Biel, suffered from damp walls for decades. Expensive remedial work using injections did not achieve the desired result. It was only after OMBRELLO was installed that the indoor climate also improved. The comfort of our home improved within a short time. The house is now pleasantly warm and free of odours, and the old rubble-stone walls no longer radiate cold.”

Verena Bernhard from Biel

FAQ

Your questions.
Clear answers.

What should I do about damp walls?

Start by identifying the cause: moisture from the ground, a leak or condensation? Renewing the surface alone does not resolve the cause. An on-site assessment with moisture measurements helps identify measures suited to the building.

What helps with a damp basement?

Damp basement walls can have different causes. We inspect the masonry and measure moisture on site. OMBRELLO may be appropriate for rising or laterally penetrating moisture. Leaks, condensation and any additional repair work require separate assessment.

Does OMBRELLO need a power connection?

Depending on the version, OMBRELLO can run from a standard 230 V socket or a battery. We determine the appropriate option during your building assessment.

Is OMBRELLO free from electrosmog?

OMBRELLO operates without electrosmog. Transmission power is below one nanowatt, and the system complies with EMC requirements. Our technical documents explain its operation and compatibility.

Is OMBRELLO noisy or does it need maintenance?

The device operates silently and requires no maintenance. The power supply for a battery version is discussed separately. Follow-up measurements at the building document the drying process.

What does a building assessment cost?

The personal on-site assessment and moisture measurements are free and non-binding. You then receive a written quotation for your building.
