Bad times for humidity in the home
Even if it may sound paradoxical on a supposedly sunny island: damp in your own four walls is sometimes the biggest problem for property owners in Mallorca. There are three reasons for this:
- The Mediterranean island has high humidity all year round.
- In particular in existing buildings, the humidity insulation is insufficient or completely absent.
- Most second or vacation homes in Mallorca are uninhabited for a large part of the year.
The consequences: dampness and mold growth on walls and ceilings, flying spores, rotting of textiles of all kinds and leather, damage to the walls, musty smell and - what is ultimately even worse - a health-damaging building climate.
The company VPB Baleares S.L.U., which specializes in building drying., in cooperation with the solar-powered room ventilation provider TRITECH-SOLAR, now offers an innovative and holistic solution to permanently banish moisture from both walls and indoor air. „We offer our customers technologies designed for sustainability and functional safety to eliminate the problems of building moisture. Regardless of whether the moisture has penetrated the building via the masonry, via the highly polluted air or via both routes. Our measures lead to a decisive improvement in the quality of living," says Ralf Schönmeier, Managing Director of VPB Baleares S.L.U.

His company has been working very successfully in Germany for years with the injection process of BKM Mannesmann AG. The services include the installation of a subsequent horizontal barrier, which prevents soil moisture from rising capillary in the masonry. The company VPB Baleares S.L.U. is also one of the few providers that enables quick and permanent drying through the installation of surface barriers in the event of lateral moisture penetration of the masonry via lateral soil contact. In this process, horizontal and vertical waterproofing is injected directly into the masonry from the inside. The water-impermeable, breathable materials contained therein create a structurally effective barrier in the masonry, preventing moisture from penetrating from below or the sides. Once the treated walls have dried out, they can be finished to taste. Formerly unsightly walls shine in new splendor and the vacation home contributes significantly to well-being and relaxation.
Thanks to the partnership with TRITECH-SOLAR Mallorca, VPB Baleares S.L.U. can offer property owners in particular, whose island homes are unoccupied for large parts of the year, a far-reaching solution for humidity prevention in their own four walls. Level room ventilation systems installed by TRITECH-SOLAR are solar-powered and ensure that rooms are permanently and automatically ventilated even when you are away for long periods. By permanently lowering the humidity in the rooms of a Mallorca property, mold growth and rotten smells can be avoided. Dry air also counteracts possible corrosion of metals. This fully automatic ventilation system also leads to real heating cost savings and can also be used to produce hot water.
Dry masonry and dry air not only ensure a pleasant and healthy climate in the house, but also make a decisive contribution to maintaining the substance and thus the value of the property.
