The Lectros Electro Osmotic Rising Damp System |
|
The Lectros Electro Osmotic System is not a masonry capillary coating or blocker, but a proven active method of reversing the
moisture’s natural electric potential, which originates when water rises in a masonry wall.
Through a series of platinised titanium anodes installed in the masonry about a metre apart, a very small, regulated, and
perfectly safe electrical charge is introduced into the wall just above ground level, (mA range), via a small but sophisticated
power control unit. Immediately the surrounding moisture molecules become positively charged and the “free” moisture
molecules are repelled from the positive anode and attracted to the negative cathode buried in the ground, (just as
the "poles" of magnets repel or attract each other). As the moisture content reduces so does the ability to transfer the charge
from the anode to the cathode, The resistance, (ohms), increases and the current, (milliamp range), reduces, and whilst the
volts being discharged are restricted their value correspondingly increases.
This current repels the rising moisture molecules and dissolved salts down the walls and harmlessly back into the ground. As
long as this tiny positive charge is maintained, your walls are protected from rising damp.

The small, but sophisticated, Lectros Power Control Unit constantly displays the electrical charge carried through the wall by the
moisture and as the moisture content reduces the current will be seen to reduce and the unused voltage will be seen to increase.
A permanent moisture meter!

Lectros is the best way to solve your Rising Damp Problem because:
The Lectros Electro Osmotic System is not a masonry capillary coating or blocker, but a proven active method of reversing the
moisture’s natural electric potential, which originates when water rises in a masonry wall.
The Lectros System is safe, simple and 100% effective!
The Lectros System dries below the installation height protecting masonry supported timber floor structures. Lectros repels
moisture down to soil level below timber joists and bearers even when installed behind or above skirting boards, (where access
below suspended timber floors is restricted). (An electro osmotic system is the only remedial damp course that will dry below
the level of installation avoiding timber floor removal and replacement.)
The Lectros System desalinates masonry, solid plaster and render.
The Lectros System is clean, free of odours, perfectly safe, environmentally friendly, and, being fume and chemical-free,
it cannot stain or discolour masonry or plaster.
The Lectros System minimises the need to remove sound plaster or render as most dissolved hygroscopic ground salts are
carried back down into the soil - (residual surface salt deposits may be neutralised and removed with clear household
vinegar).
The Lectros System treats common or party walls, (without damaging your neighbours side of the wall), solid walls up to
600mm thick, and both sides of cavity brickwork walls from one side.
The Lectros System is suitable for any type of masonry, clay brick, sandstone, limestone, rubble filled, aerated concrete,
precast concrete – even mud brick dwellings!
The Lectros System although simple and quick to install, is the least contractor dependent remedial dampcourse system.
The Lectros System repels moisture down to soil level below timber joists and bearers even when installed behind or above
skirting boards, (where access below suspended timber floors is restricted).
The Lectros System provides, observably, the fastest results as the damp is actively "driven" down out of the walls unlike
other systems that rely solely on "passive" evaporation!
The Lectros Electro Osmotic Remedial Dampcourse System is the most cost-effective alternative to all other correctly
installed methods.
