Identifying humidity and capillary rise through blisters and saltpeter


High humidity inside a wall can be indicated by the appearance of blisters and saltpetre. While blisters can have different causes, saltpetre is typically a result of capillary rise, an electrostatic attraction that pulls water molecules upward. This issue mainly affects older buildings constructed before 1950, but can also impact new structures with poor foundation sealing. For an effective and eco-friendly solution, choose Mur-Tronic. Our building specialists will support you throughout your project while utilizing environmentally responsible solutions that also protect your property. Don't let capillary rise damage your building - contact Mur-Tronic today.

To fully remedy blisters and saltpetre caused by high humidity, it's important to remove them once the walls have completely dried out. This process requires digging down to the masonry and covering the affected areas with an anti-salt mortar. This special mortar, which acts as an anti-saltpetre adjuvant, effectively neutralizes salts and prevents new efflorescence from occurring. Trust Mur-Tronic to provide the most effective and eco-friendly solutions for treating humidity issues and preventing future damage to your building.
