Moisture and facades in Hoogeveen: what we encounter here
Hoogeveen has an active insulation agenda. Municipal schemes and subsidies via SNN ensure that homeowners are increasingly having their cavity walls insulated. What many people do not know: after insulation, the exterior of your facade becomes colder, because heat from the home is no longer transferred to the masonry. This increases the risk of condensation forming on the inside of the outer leaf and, in the long term, frost damage to the brickwork.
A breathable impregnation treatment eliminates this risk without the wall losing its breathability. That is why, in Hoogeveen, we regularly combine insulation work or joint renovation with subsequent impregnation, so that the subsidy money is not negated by moisture problems later on.
Subsidy for facade maintenance in Hoogeveen
Hoogeveen has historically had its own subsidy schemes for home sustainability improvements and insulation. Impregnation itself does not fall under these schemes, as it is considered maintenance. However, when we combine impregnation with cavity wall insulation, joint repair, or a facade renovation, you can apply for substantial subsidies through SNN, the Province of Drenthe, and in some cases, the Municipality of Hoogeveen. During the inspection, we will point out the current schemes that apply to your situation.
What we do in Hoogeveen
For every facade, we begin with an on-site inspection. We examine the type of stone, the condition of the joints, and any potential moisture problems. Only then do we advise whether impregnation is worthwhile and which product is suitable. Sometimes facade cleaning suffices, or a specific neighborhood-by-neighborhood approach, about which you can read more on our page. facade cleaning in Hoogeveen. In other cases, we combine impregnation with renovation joints or facade renovation. The technique is detailed under facade impregnation.
How much does facade impregnation cost in Hoogeveen?
Facade impregnation in Hoogeveen costs an average of €8 per m², excluding VAT. This is precisely where that money is money well spent: the cavity walls of many homes from the 1960s and 1970s absorb moisture during prolonged rain, resulting in penetrating damp and algae growth. Impregnation only works on a clean surface, which is why we almost always combine it with facade cleaning in Hoogeveen for €5 per m². First clean, then protected, in a single project and with preparation work only once. During the free inspection, we measure the facade surface and the absorbency of the stone, after which you will receive a complete quotation.
This is how we handle impregnation
Roof cleaning is skilled work. Not only because of the technique, but above all because of safety. We always work with fall protection and according to our VCA standards. You never have to go onto the roof yourself.
Inspection and assessment
We start with a thorough inspection of your facade. Is the surface clean enough? Are the joints still intact? Impregnating a dirty or damaged facade is of little use. Sometimes we recommend facade cleaning or joint repair first.
1
Clean (if necessary)
If there is still algae, moss, or dirt on the masonry, we first thoroughly clean the facade. After cleaning, we allow the facade to dry. This usually takes two to five days, depending on the weather.
2
Impregnate with hydrophobizing liquid
We apply the impregnating agent using low pressure. The agent penetrates a few millimeters deep into the brick. The facade becomes water-repellent without creating a visible layer. You can see the result immediately after treatment: water droplets bead off instead of soaking in.

A breathable impregnation layer prevents this. For a cavity wall that is in good condition and faces south, the effect is smaller.
Not applicable to the impregnation. Applicable to the insulation part, through SNN, the Province of Drenthe, and municipal schemes. We break down the quotation so that it is clear which amount falls under which scheme, allowing you to apply for a subsidy without any hassle.
A high-quality breathable agent lasts seven to ten years, depending on the orientation of the facade and the type of brick. For north-facing facades and insulated cavity walls, we recommend a visual inspection every five years.
