The Symptoms

Who hasn't experienced it at some point - the mustiness of damp walls in old buildings with no or insufficient insulation? And when the plaster begins to fall off the walls, salt blisters with paint flaking appear on the facade and spots of mould make rooms impossible to live in, this is usually the end phase of a process which has been going on for some years.

At this point it would be wrong to treat these damaged areas "cosmetically" with only mortar and paint, and have to put up with a very unhealthy living climate with higher energy costs. This stage of damage requires thorough corrective action in order to prevent total dilapidation of these sections of the house.

How the system works

The system introduces a very small and perfectly safe electric current into the wall just above ground level through a series of titanium anodes inserted into the brickwork. Its effect is to repel the rising moisture molecules down the walls and harmlessly back into the ground. As long as this tiny positive charge is maintained, the protected walls remain dry and totally free of damp.

Installation is neat and quick. A series of small holes are drilled in the outside masonry just above ground level, and tiny anodes inserted, linked by a special connecting wire which is 'pointed' into the wall. The finished result is virtually invisible and the disruption is minimal.

Monitoring
The Lectros System can be regularly monitored using the Lectros Loggin System. Any time after fitting it's effectiveness can be closely monitored by connecting a laptop computer to the system to give accurate readings of the following:


. The wall charge (static electricity)
. The current into the system
. The voltage the system is taking

This data can be printed in graph form for later analysis and also archived to provide documented history on the property.

In a chemical or mortar based damp proofing this would require a destructive examination.

Proven Technology
The Lectros Osmotic Damp Proofing System has been installed in over 80,000 properties over the last 20 years. Whether it be one-family houses, commercial properties or listed buildings, the Lectros System is the easiest, cleanest and safest system to control the effects of rising damp.

  COSHH Free

In a world striving for greener, safer products, the Lectros System leads the field. The system is chemical free and more importantly COSHH FREE - safe for the environment and no health risks.

30 Guarantee  

The system gives a long trouble-free life thanks to its extensive use of commercially pure titanium, coated with a platinum group element. This ensures outstanding reliability and resistance to physical and chemical attack.


It's one of the reasons we are able to offer a 30 year Warranty to every properly installed system.

Architects throughout the United Kingdom have no hesitation in specifying the installation of the Lectros Osmotic Damp Proofing System.

It is our intention as innovators to continue to research and, where possible develop the active electro osmotic system.

An indication of the success of the system can be found in the many contracts which have been successfully carried out on properties under the supervision of both English Heritage and The National Trust.

Among the many Councils throughout the UK specifying this system are Tafford Borough Council, Scunthorpe Borough Council and North East Derbyshire Borough Council.
