At Diy doctor we have looked long and hard for a product which will make waterproofing the outside of buildings easy without removing the ability for the structure to breathe. Many many of you will have received emails from us, in answer to your questions, advising you not to apply a waterproof covering to your walls unless the manufacturer could guarantee it would allow the trapped moisture to evaporate. Such a product is now available and we are pleased to present it.
The following are all possible when walls are allowed to soak in moisture: A full list of Damp problems and solutions is available in our projects section
Penetrating damp causes damp patches on exterior wall surfaces and in more serious cases, on interior walls. This is caused by differences in the capillary absorption of masonry. Faulty pointing and cracks in the masonry are reasons for this problem. Further damage can be caused such as wall tie corrosion.

Damage to the surface layer of masonry (spalling) can be caused by the effects of frost damage. Water in the wall expands by 10% when it freezes, this increases the pressure on the pores of the masonry which crack under this pressure. Now enlarged, these cracks allow more moisture in, which in turn freezes, etc. The face of the masonry can soon "explode".
Unsightly moss and mould growth can also occur on the surface. This can cause a gradual breakdown of the surface if it is damp.
Heat loss through wet walls is up to 3 times higher than through a dry wall. A wet wall is a cold wall and thermal insulation values are relative to the dampness of the wall.
SOLUTION!
Ultra Proof is a water-thinnable, solvent
free silicone/siloxane emulsion. It features a deep penetration, high resistance
to alkalis, rapid development of water repellency, good adhesion base for micro
pourus paints, water based and environmentally friendly. It is available from Property Repair Systems.
Even when diluted , Ultra Proof reduces the capillary absorption of the building material it is applied to, but does not clog the pores or the capillaries.
THERE IS NO IMPAIRMENT OF THE BUILDINGS ABILITY TO BREATHE.
