Moisture and facades in Meppel: what we encounter here
A trading city like Meppel has many pre-war mansions and commercial properties where we regularly encounter neglected or incorrectly executed waterproofing work. Often, an overly dense silicone layer was applied at some point—a product that actually traps moisture within the old masonry. The consequences become visible after a few years: salt efflorescence, white spots, and soft joints that show the facade can no longer breathe. For monumental buildings and older facades in Meppel, we work exclusively with vapor-permeable products that allow moisture to evaporate from the inside out.
The situation is different for post-war terraced houses: a standard breathable product is sufficient there, especially if the facade has just been cleaned.
Subsidy for facade maintenance in Meppel
Impregnation itself is not covered by national or provincial subsidies, as it is considered maintenance. If you combine the work with cavity wall insulation or an insulating joint finish, you can apply for schemes through SNN and the Province of Drenthe. For the target group with an income below the provincial threshold, this amounts to several thousand euros. During the inspection, we will honestly calculate for you which part of the work falls under which scheme.
What we do in Meppel
For every facade, we begin with an on-site inspection. We examine the type of stone, the condition of the joints, and the cause of any moisture problems. Only then do we advise whether impregnation is worthwhile and which product is suitable for your facade. Sometimes, facade cleaning without an impregnation layer is sufficient. In other situations, we combine impregnation with renovation joints or facade renovation. You can read more about the technique on the facade impregnation page.
How much does facade impregnation cost in Meppel?
For facade impregnation in Meppel, we charge an average of €8 per m², excluding VAT. Due to their location by the water, facades in Meppel are exposed to a great deal of moisture, and older brick absorbs it readily. We work with a vapor-permeable impregnating agent: rain stays out, while the wall can continue to breathe. A clean facade is a prerequisite, however. Therefore, we usually recommend facade cleaning in Meppel first for €5 per m², immediately followed by the impregnation treatment. We assess exactly what your facade needs during the free inspection.
This is how we handle impregnation in Meppel
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.

Professional impregnation with guarantee
Professional impregnating agents
We work exclusively with professional hydrophobizing agents that penetrate deeper than consumer products from the hardware store. That makes a difference in lifespan.
Clear explanation and communication
After the treatment, you will receive a clear explanation of what we have done and how long the protection will last. Clear communication, from inspection to delivery. That is how we work.

Impregnation as smart protection
After cleaning, we often recommend impregnating the facade for long-lasting protection. However, it can also be done the other way around: impregnating as a preventive measure, before problems arise.

Frequently asked questions about impregnation
Yes. We regularly visit Nijeveen, Havelte, IJhorst, Staphorst, and Steenwijk. For projects in Southwest Drenthe and the northern edge of Overijssel, Meppel is even a logical base for us.
First, we assess what was used at the time and the current condition of the facade. Sometimes the old layer must be removed by means of light blasting or air blasting before a new breathable agent can be applied. In other cases, it is possible to wait until the old agent has worn off naturally.
Yes, but exclusively with a breathable, vapor-permeable agent that preserves the original appearance of the brick. For national monuments, permission from the municipality is also required. We advise you on the right choice and approach.
