History
In 1988, Ernst Wild pioneered the Wall-Dry 2000 system and started drying the walls of various buildings using this method, which at the time was completely unknown. The first systems had a few problems but were continually evaluated and developed further until the breakthrough in quartz technology in 1992. It was possible to optimize the frequency range of the wall drying systems so that all wall materials and all types of building structure could be treated, which resulted in the dehydration and dryness maintenance guarantee that we give today.
The experience gained from this work led Ernst Wild to the realization that coatings can only superficially protect buildings against the penetration of moisture. However, if moisture penetrates the building structure from other directions, the surface coating itself can be seriously damaged in a very short time. This damage still becomes apparent, for example, in the form of discoloration, and in extreme cases results in the detachment of the coating.
Continuously searching for improvements, Ernst Wild tried to find a solution that protects various buildings against this penetrating and destructive moisture. At the inventor’s show in Basel, he stumbled over a new product that solved the problem by drying walls with electro-physical methods, without requiring any structural intervention.
Werner Wild was already supporting his father back then and in 2003 founded the company home-dry® together with his wife, Daniela Wild. The wall drying systems were constantly developed further and adapted to suit customer and market requirements as well as to meet the rising demand for a sustainable and efficient solution. Today, home-dry® GmBH has subsidiaries in different countries and is an international supplier of high-quality Swiss products and system solutions for the drying of damp or wet buildings. During the long and successful history of home-dry®, the OMBRELLO® wall drying system has dried thousands of buildings and protected them against the destructive consequences of damp walls.
