Wall drainage by means of the sawing process

Horizontal insulation of existing buildings with the wall saw method

• direct effect of water due to defective roofs, down spouts, water pipes or splashed water,

• formation and accumulation of condensation as a result of improper ventilation or faulty construction,

• capillary moisture in wall due to missing or faulty waterproofing. This requires particularly careful treatment.

Draining of brickwork by means of the sawing process is gaining importance in the building sanitation industry. Here one can achieve a 100% sealing effect against moisture, provided that the work is done profesionally and conscientiously.

Since 1996 we have been busy in the country-wide marketing and service of the PRINZ wall saw technology and materials, for horizontal insulation of buildings with the wall saw method. Countless firms in this line of business were equipped by us with technology and partly also with Know-How and today work successfully in this special field of reconstruction. The drying of masonry work wins significance through the preservation and reconstruction of buildings with moist walls and the saw procedure can be seen as a simple, but very effective possiblity for the horizontal insulation of brick work, which through the use of plastic materials guarantees long lasting function. There is now a full assortment of machines and materials available for the customer.

Why it is worth deciding on the PRINZ method when drying a building:

• Directly after the service has been provided you receive permanent and immediate elimination of capillary moisture.

• If the method is carried out professionally, it guarantees 100% protection against capillary moisture until the end of technical life of a building.

• Horizontal insulation is made of thick, massive polyethylene or polyester boards reinforced with glass fibre, which are resistant to damaging, chemical compounds present in building walls and do not corrode.

• Irrespective of the building material and degree of moistness of building walls, the same insulation materials are used, which always ensure full protection against moisture.

• The PRINZ technology does not affect the statics and settling of constructions. Properly selected linear speed of cutting machines and slow movements do not generate significant vibrations when undercutting. Cutting in metre segments and suitable wedging prevent a building from settling. Moreover, the problem with cracking of walls is eliminated. The method is completely safe for a building. All defects in the walls are replenished with mortar, forced in under the pressure of 4-5 bars, with auxiliary agents causing, among others, mortar expansion.

• As compared to other techniques of drying, the effectiveness of this method is not affected by such factors as electromagnetic interferences or potential energy failures. It is not necessary to perform further maintenance tests and examine the degree of moistness.

• Quick and efficient provision of the service – e.g. installing new horizontal insulation in a single-family house with dimensions 10 x 10 m and wall thickness of 0.5 m (approximately 20 m2 in total) takes about 3 working days.

• The fixed cost of the service is calculated based on m² of insulated wall surface, regardless of its thickness or degree of moistness.

The application of the method guarantees:

• complete cutting off of capillary rise of underground water, which leads to automatic drying of walls with simultaneous elimination of other causes of moistness and ensuring proper ventilation of rooms,

• improvement of building's microclimate,

• reduction of heat loss,

• elimination of the necessity to carry out regular repairs and refurbishment of walls, plaster work and paint coating.

Warranty:

• we guarantee that all works are carried out in a professional and reliable way by well-trained personnel who, before commencing any activities, perform diagnostic tests in order to determine the reason of moistness,

• we guarantee that after the application of the PRINZ method of horizontal insulation and natural drying of your walls above the insulation performed the problem with capillary moisture will not return until the end of the technical life of an object,

• we provide 30 years of warranty on all the services provided.

We conduct inspections in every part of the country.
