Rising damp is one of the most widespread and underestimated problems in construction.
It occurs when water from the ground rises through building materials – such as bricks, concrete, and plaster – by capillary action, causing aesthetic and structural damage and compromising the comfort and healthiness of indoor environments. The most effective solution for rising damp today is Humiblock, a fiber-reinforced, odorless, and fully inorganic nanotechnological skim coat. It is designed to restore and waterproof both interior and exterior walls, even in the presence of positive or negative hydrostatic pressure.
The secret? Osmosis and nanotechnology
What makes Humiblock unique is the physical-chemical principle of osmosis: the water inside the microcavities of the wall migrates toward the mortar, where it is retained and managed in a controlled way. The product penetrates the pores of the surface, hardening and forming a waterproof barrier without causing harmful crystallization.
Its blend of silicon- and ceramic-based nanotechnological fillers improves adhesion, breathability, and long-term mechanical resistance.

Application method and ideal settings for the solution of rising damp
To perform at its best, Humiblock must be applied only with a trowel, in 2 or 3 crossed layers (horizontal + vertical), with reinforcement mesh. Curing occurs in just 6–8 hours, even at room temperature, making the worksite faster, cleaner, and safer.
Thanks to its low thickness and refined finish (0.6 mm grain size), it can be applied on:
-
retaining walls, basements, and garages
-
pools, cisterns, terraces, and tanks
-
as a barrier under floors or coverings
-
water collection or treatment systems
In short, anywhere rising damp or water infiltration may occur.
Conclusion:
Rising damp is a constant and degenerative phenomenon.
With Humiblock, you finally have a reliable, high-tech, and long-lasting solution for rising damp – guaranteed for 10 years and easy to apply.
