Well informed.
Ready for the next step.

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.

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.

OMBRELLO is our electro-physical wall drying system for capillary rising damp and moisture entering masonry from the side.

The system is intended to reduce suitable forms of wall moisture. Damaged finishes, mould and other existing damage may need separate treatment. A change in appearance is not a measurement of drying.

We work with old and new buildings, homes, holiday properties, hotels, schools, offices, garages, halls and historic buildings. Suitability depends on the source of the moisture.

The system is intended for capillary moisture. Leaking pipes, condensation and other causes require an appropriate investigation and response.

The provider describes electromagnetic oscillations intended to influence capillary moisture transport. The technical page explains the principle and provides the original English documentation.

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.

The model table gives 185 × 242 × 115 mm for R7+ and 220 × 290 × 140 mm for R14+, R24+ and R48+ (width × height × depth).

The floor plan and extent of the affected area determine the model and range. Whether one device is sufficient is assessed for the individual building.

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.

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.

The system operates silently.

The system restarts automatically when power returns. A green LED indicates operation. Lightning protection is built in.

We estimate an operating life of 30 to 50 years. This is an estimate of lifespan; the device guarantee is ten years.

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.

No chemical injection is used to install the OMBRELLO system. Any additional restoration works are assessed separately.

Yes. We offer a free, non-binding on-site assessment with measurements, followed by a written quotation.

Drying generally takes 12 to 36 months. Wall thickness, moisture, salts and ventilation affect the course. Follow-up measurements document the individual building.

The provider gives around 18 months as an average indication, not a promise for every building. Some published customer reports describe longer periods.

The previous FAQ mentions removal of old coatings, appropriate ventilation and drainage of rainwater. Assess these measures for the building before carrying them out.

Customers describe changes in basement odours and how rooms feel. These observations do not replace the measurements used to document drying progress.

Defined measurement points and checks after 6 and 18 months document progress. Both follow-up visits are included in the purchase price.

We give you a ten-year device guarantee. Drying and continued dryness guarantees have their own written conditions for the building.

The supplied images illustrate a damaged and visually renewed basement. They are not a measurement record of a specific drying project. Drying alone does not repaint or replaster a room.
