- Abstract
this paper presents one of the methods used to remove moisture from the capillary walls of buildings, problem which appears due to the lack of the horizontal insulation layer in these buildings or poor ventilation of interior spaces. Each project that is proposed to rehabilitate a building in terms to eliminate capillary moisture from its walls has specific issues. For the objective presented in this article, the church "Adormirea Maicii Domnului" from Smeura village, Arges County, DryZone technology was used. The system DryZone consists in placing a gel in the wall which is distributed by capillarity effect creating a chemical barrier. The system is used on any type of stone masonry, brick or mixed and any thickness. One of its main advantage is that requires no special equipment.
