Scientific community is doubtful about the reliable effectiveness of those methods since the clear role of the electro-osmosis in the dehumidification process of real buildings is controversial and not well-documented [17].

Does electric damp proofing work?

Of the complaints about electro-osmotic damp-proofing that BRE has investigated, some have involved condensation problems that the installation could not be expected to cure; in others there appeared to be at least partial failure of the system, suggesting that electro-osmotic systems are not effective in preventing ...

What moves in electro-osmosis?

Electroosmosis is the motion of liquid, which is adjacent to a flat charged surface under the influence of an electric field applied parallel to the surface.
