Moisture and facades in Groningen: what we encounter here
In the city of Groningen, we see many older brick buildings with elaborate facades: bay windows, masonry ornaments, and joints that have been repaired in multiple places. In the province, earthquake damage and restoration work add to this. After crack repairs or new pointing, the facade is often locally more porous than the rest, and during a wet period, this manifests as dark, damp patches.
Moreover, the open landscape and the wind from the sea cause rain to often strike the facade at an angle. A breathable impregnation layer ensures that the entire facade repels water evenly again, without trapping moisture in the wall.
Subsidy for facade maintenance in Groningen
Impregnation is maintenance and therefore does not fall under an insulation subsidy. However, the Nij Begun insulation approach is running in the province of Groningen. Under this scheme, owner-occupiers receive a reimbursement of 50% of the insulation costs, up to a maximum of €20,000. In the reinforcement area and for lower incomes, this is 100%, up to a maximum of €40,000. Cavity wall and facade insulation are also covered. If you have the cavity insulated, we can clean and impregnate the facade afterwards. We will tell you honestly what is and is not covered by the scheme.

This is how we handle impregnation in Groningen
Good impregnation does not start with the product, but with the condition of the facade. That is why we always work in three steps in Groningen, and we never skip any.
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.

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.

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.
