in essence, a physical phenomenon that occurs when water rises through the pores of building materials, such as bricks, mortars, stones or cements, due to their absorption capacity. This action is similar to what happens when we introduce a piece of absorbent paper in a glass of water: the liquid rises through the material against gravity. In the case of buildings, this process allows subsoil moisture to rise slowly from the foundations to the walls, generating what is known as <strong data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"652\">capillary dampness<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"1257\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">This type of moisture can cause numerous problems, such as stains, peeling paint or plaster, mold, odors and even loss of structural properties in the affected materials. That is why it is essential to identify it in time and apply <strong data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"966\">effective and lasting solutions<\/strong>, because if action is not taken quickly, the damage can progress and affect both the health of the occupants and the stability of the building. Correctly combating capillarity not only improves the aesthetics of the building, but also guarantees its long-term conservation and habitability.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d80451a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d80451a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e2ff66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8e2ff66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Main methods for the elimination of rising damp<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6616366 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6616366\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bebfb99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bebfb99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are various systems that attempt to provide a <strong>solution to rising damp<\/strong>, but not all are equally effective or durable. The following is an analysis of some of the most commonly used: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Injections of water-repellent resins<\/strong>: the walls are perforated to inject water-repellent products. Although they can work in the short term, their effectiveness depends on the condition of the substrate and the correct execution. In addition, they may require re-treatment and do not eliminate the humidity already present.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Anti-humidity coatings<\/strong>: consist of applying waterproof coatings on the affected walls. These products, such as special paints or mortars, are easy to apply but only act superficially. They do not prevent moisture from continuing to rise through the internal structure of the wall.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Active or passive electro-osmosis<\/strong>: devices are installed that reverse the polarity of the water, forcing it downward. It is a costly solution, difficult to maintain, and does not always work in all cases. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Air chambers or linings<\/strong>: false walls are created in front of the damp walls. Although they improve the aesthetics, they do not solve the root of the problem, and humidity continues to damage the structure behind the cavity. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-989480a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"989480a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8b5a05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a8b5a05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estilguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC00379-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-22600\" alt=\"solucion humedad por capilaridad\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.estilguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC00379-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.estilguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC00379-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.estilguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC00379-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.estilguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC00379-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.estilguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC00379-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.estilguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC00379-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd2fe97 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cd2fe97\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5224b6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5224b6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">G-FLEX - one of the best solutions against rising damp<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14867b1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"14867b1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8e5e67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b8e5e67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Faced with these options, one of the most effective, durable and simple methods of installation is the use of <strong>nodular sheets such as G-FLEX<\/strong>, developed by Estil Guru.
