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. |
|
 |
|
| 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. |

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. |
