Humidity or wet walls have become a common problem in the last decades. Some
common consequences of having humid walls are the growth of mold, which has a bad
impact on the health and the comfort level of the internal environment. There is
evidence that the effect of humidity on health is strong. Furthermore, the moisture
content of the wall has a direct impact on its thermal resistance. This is due to the
increase of thermal conductivity value of the wall.
Briefly, the humid wall problem has a direct consequence on both energy consumption
of the heating system and the health of the occupants.
In our country and even east Africa countries the wall humidity of house is becoming a
huge problem, where different research shows a rate of 81% of houses have wall
humidity (moisture).
The main cause of wall humidity is due to poor quality and dosage of materials of
construction and capillary damp rising (remontee capillaires) from under the soil.
