Permanently dry masonry.
With proven waterproofing technology.
To protect against rising damp and lateral moisture ingress, the product is applied by qualified regional specialist partners.
Waterproofing technology for masonry based on polymers.
This technology works horizontally and vertically through the natural capillary pathways in masonry, stopping capillary moisture without affecting water vapour diffusion or the building's natural drying process.
As a result, masonry remains breathable and can dry out naturally. It is suitable for existing buildings, including older and heritage-protected structures.
Capillary Rising Damp
Capillary rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground rises into the masonry via the capillary pore system, spreading throughout the building material.
Lateral Moisture Ingress
Lateral moisture ingress. Moisture can penetrate plinth and wall areas laterally, for example in structural components that are in contact with the ground, or where waterproofing is missing.
Consequences of moisture
The consequences of moisture Saturation can lead to salt contamination, damage to plasterwork and mould growth. It can also cause long-term damage to the building's structure.
Permanent Protection
Unlike conventional damp-proofing methods that only create a local barrier, wetBloc works throughout the masonry's pore and capillary network. By reducing capillary moisture transport horizontally and vertically while maintaining vapour permeability, wetBloc provides a long-term solution that helps protect your building from rising damp and lateral moisture.

Conventional Moisture Protection Technologies
Paraffin-Based Chemical Injection (DPC Injection)
A series of holes are drilled into the mortar joints before a paraffin-based water-repellent compound is injected into the masonry. In heavily saturated walls, pre-drying with heating rods may be required before high-pressure injection to improve penetration and form a chemical damp-proof course.
- Widely established and commonly available.
- Effectiveness depends on wall condition.
- May require wall pre-drying before injection.
- Retreatment of previously injected areas can be difficult.
Mechanical Damp Proof Course (Physical DPC)
A physical damp-proof membrane is installed by cutting into the masonry and inserting a waterproof barrier. This creates a permanent interruption to the upward movement of moisture through the wall.
- Can provide a long service life when professionally installed.
- Often unsuitable for heritage buildings.
- Highly invasive installation requiring.
- Typically one of the most expensive rising damp treatment methods.
Electro-Osmotic / Electro-Physical Damp Control
An electro-osmotic system uses electrodes or electronic devices installed within the building to influence the movement of moisture in masonry, with the aim of reducing capillary rising damp without major structural work.
- Non-invasive and suitable for many existing buildings.
- Performance varies depending on the specific system and building conditions.
- Requires a continuous electrical power supply (for active systems).
- Does not repair existing salt contamination or damaged plaster.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary sources of moisture in masonry?
Rising damp, lateral moisture infiltration, and condensation are the primary threats to building integrity and structural longevity.
How does wetBloc technology prevent moisture ingress?
Our solutions utilize advanced hydrophobic coatings and precision-engineered barriers that actively repel water while maintaining thermal efficiency.
Is moisture management a one-time installation?
While initial installation is a one-time event, regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to ensure long-term protection and performance.
How does wetBloc protect historic buildings?
We specialize in non-invasive, high-precision treatments that respect the original architectural fabric while providing robust moisture protection.
