Damp proofing

Hi all,
Having viewed the threads about no nem and all the going on and problems he has caused i would still like to say that the company i dealt with were great. The work was carried out quickly and tidily and they even helped with the repainting. The company i used was Ruberstein which are a german company with a franchise in kusadasi, they have a good reputation in germany so the franchise here has to be good as well so that they get to keep the franchise. Ihope that all you people who have damp issues will not be put off trying another company, just because there is one bad apple does not mean that the rest of the barrel is the same.

Not wishing to put a dampener on the subject (no pun intended - much) but when did you have your damp proofing done i.e. has it stood the test of time? I ask because we still have reservations on just how effective damp proofing can be on single skinned non-insulated buildings.

It looks interesting, their blurb states "The microemulsion is manufactured in Germany and has been tested on the suitability for use on the Turkish hollow bricks and also for use on concrete supporting columns and in both instances is found to be the perfect solution." be good to hear from anyone else who has had it done by this company.

Re: Damp proofing

its always dissapointing when they say its ISO 9000 or ISO 9001. What does that actually mean? The ISO website provides a clue

The ISO 9000 family addresses "quality management". This means what the organization does to fulfill:

the customer's quality requirements, and
applicable regulatory requirements, while aiming to
enhance customer satisfaction, and
achieve continual improvement of its performance in pursuit of these objectives.


Essentially its an injected fluid that is water resistant when it dries. It should be perfectly effective on a single skin hollow block wall

Time will tell

Having gone through ISO accreditation with 2 companies all I can say is that it makes sure that procedures are in place and followed and provides scope for review and improvement of those procedures. It does not ensure that the output from those procedures is actually any good.

Re the above question we had our damproofing done 8 months ago and have had no problems since.
