Moisture and facades in Zwolle: what we encounter here
A newly renovated facade, with new joints and freshly cleaned brickwork, can show signs of penetrating damp within just two winters. That is not a renovation problem; it is an impregnation problem. Fresh masonry is more porous than older facades and absorbs moisture more readily, especially in a river city where rain and fog are present for a large part of the year.
Therefore, we recommend finishing every major renovation with a breathable impregnation treatment. The same applies after a facade cleaning: without a protective layer, the tarnish returns within one to two years. This way, the result of your investment remains visible even after five or ten years.
Subsidy for facade maintenance in Zwolle
Impregnation itself is not eligible for national subsidies, as it is considered maintenance rather than energy saving. If you combine the work with cavity wall insulation or an insulating joint finish, schemes through SNN and the Province of Overijssel come into play. During the inspection, we will point out the options that suit your situation, without making false promises. Honesty comes first.
What we do in Zwolle
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 best suited to your facade. Sometimes, facade cleaning without an impregnation layer is sufficient. In other cases, we combine impregnation with renovation joints or facade renovation. You can read about the technique and working method in detail on the page about facade impregnation.
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.

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 Hattem, Kampen, IJsselmuiden, Genemuiden, and Heino. The driving time to those places is often shorter than to Zwolle itself. For monumental properties and HOA projects, we also visit Deventer, Raalte, and Dalfsen.
A good impregnation treatment with a high-quality breathable agent lasts seven to ten years. In a damp environment, such as parts of Zwolle, this may be slightly shorter, especially for north-facing facades or homes located close to water. A brief visual inspection after five years is advisable.
Yes, but exclusively with a breathable, vapor-permeable impregnating agent. For national monuments, you must take into account permission from the municipality or the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands. We advise you on the appropriate options and the steps you need to take.
