Understanding wall moisture
Moisture in walls can occur for various reasons including condensation, which is exacerbated by the significant temperature differences between the interior and exterior of a building. Additionally, structural vulnerabilities such as floods, pipe leaks, or inadequate insulation can contribute to moisture accumulation. This moisture can lead to various structural issues over time, making it imperative to address them promptly.
There are several reasons for moist walls. Here is a brief overview of some causes of building moisture:
- Building moisture – that is the moisture that is present in the building materials and has not yet dried out.
- Humidity or incorrect ventilation, which can lead to condensation of water
- Broken water pipes in walls and floors
- A leaky roof
- Missing or broken sealing around windows and doors
- Pressure water from rain caused by a grade sloped towards the foundation
- Driving rain or splash water
- Rising capillary soil moisture in your home/building that is eroding your building’s foundation
This last bullet point is the moisture problem that RENODRY handles permanently.

Why choose the RENODRY system?
The RENODRY system stands out because it does not merely mask the symptoms of moisture but effectively removes it. Unlike traditional methods that may involve extensive construction work, the RENODRY system works through a specialized device that targets the underlying causes of moisture. This device is installed without the need for invasive building alterations, making it an ideal solution for both new and historic homes.
How does the RENODRY system work?
Once installed, the RENODRY system begins to neutralize the rising capillary ground moisture that is often the culprit behind damp walls. The process of drying out the building varies depending on several factors such as wall thickness, level of moisture saturation, and environmental conditions, but typically takes between three to eighteen months. During this period, RENODRY provides two additional inspections at no extra cost to ensure the system is functioning effectively and your home is on its way to becoming moisture-free.
Avoiding future moisture problems
Preventing future moisture in walls requires understanding and mitigating the sources of moisture. Proper ventilation plays a crucial role in maintaining a dry and healthy home environment. Activities such as cooking, bathing, and even breathing can contribute to indoor moisture. The RENODRY system assists in regulating this moisture, but it is also essential to maintain good air circulation throughout the home to prevent condensation and moisture accumulation.
Investing in your home’s health
Implementing the RENODRY system is an investment in the health and longevity of your property. By addressing the moisture effectively, you are not only preserving the structural integrity of your home but also improving the indoor air quality and creating a healthier living environment for you and your family.

The masonry diagnostic analysis will likely show that your home/building suffers from rising ground moisture.
The rising capillary ground moisture is the moisture RENODRY technology permanently removes.
Installation and drying phase
Once the RENODRY system is installed, your building will immediately start drying out and the musty damp smells are the first thing that goes away.
This usually takes from three months to 18 months but can take longer depending on the thickness of the foundation walls, degree of saturation, and height the moisture has reached.
