Damp walls?
We have the solution.
Our solution for the sustainable dehumidification of buildings is called OMBRELLO®—a small device with a big impact. It stops moisture from seeping in from the sides or rising through capillary action, channels it back into the ground, and thus acts as a protective shield for your property. The device works purely on physical principles, without the use of chemicals.
home-dry – Your specialist in wall dehumidification
Damp walls, wet walls in the basement and throughout the house, a musty odor in buildings, and mold at home—none of this has to happen. home-dry® gmbh specializes in drying out and dehumidifying walls and basements. Our physical technology for building dehumidification guarantees dry walls and foundations, laying the groundwork for a dry and comfortable living environment. Peeling plaster, salt efflorescence, damp spots on walls, and mold will soon be a thing of the past.

«In our residential and commercial building in Uster, we could hardly use the basement space. I’m glad I chose the Ombrello wall dehumidification system in January 2006, because since then, damp walls haven’t been an issue for me, and I can even use the basement for storage.»
Gabriel Turke, Uster
«When I first heard about home-dry and their building dehumidification technology, I was completely skeptical. But thanks to my technical background, I quickly realized this must be something truly special. Our home had been suffering from severe moisture for years, which led to a musty odor and caused salt efflorescence and mold to form on the walls. After Mr. Wild installed the OBRELLO R7+ in the basement, the results were quickly noticeable and visible. Within just 6 months, the guaranteed success was there—our basement walls are dry, and the musty smell is a thing of the past. We are thrilled and more than 100% satisfied.»
Marianne & Daniel Probst, Ostermundigen
«The OMBRELLO drying system has proven to be exceptionally effective. We had suspected that the moisture was caused by water running down the slope. At the time, we did not yet know that the supply pipe was leaking and saturating the soil with water. Even while the pipe was leaking, OMBRELLO detected a decrease in moisture levels in the walls.»
Daniel Adamus, Toffen
«We had been searching for a long time for a solution to dehumidify our basement walls. When our neighbors recommended home-dry gmbh, we were initially very skeptical, as there were critical reviews of their drying method online. However, because of their drying guarantee, we decided to have the wall dehumidifier installed. Within just a few months, moisture measurements already showed a significant improvement. The climate in the basement is now pleasant, and the musty basement odor has also disappeared. The humidity levels are decreasing year by year. The unit is definitely effective and provides lasting results. We highly recommend home-dry.»
Familie W., Zofingen
«I’m very sensitive to radiation and was concerned that OMBRELLO might be harmful to my health. The company home-dry promised to take the device back if I noticed any negative changes. Shortly after it was installed, I actually felt better. The dampness is gone, and we’re all doing very well.»
Helene Artmann, Uster
«Our property was so badly affected by moisture that mold had even started to grow on the walls. Since installing the OMBRELLO wall dehumidification system, we have more usable space, a healthier living environment, and simply feel better at home.»
Katharina & Ulrich Fischer, Thun
«Ever since I discovered home-dry and OMBRELLO, damp basements haven’t been a problem for me anymore. I’ve had an OMBRELLO wall dehumidification system installed in all my older properties—the best solution for drying out damp walls.»
Thomas Rudolf, Thun
«My historic farmhouse had been plagued by severe moisture for years, to the point where even the wooden crates in my basement were rotting. Thanks to my investment in the OMBRELLO wall dehumidification system from home-dry, I was able to convert the previously unusable space into a woodworking shop a few years ago—I’m thrilled.»
Fredi Stocker, Hombrechtikon
«Our historic house, located directly on Lake Biel, suffered from damp walls for decades. Costly structural measures involving injections did not produce the desired results. It was only after installing OMBRELLO that the indoor climate improved. Living comfort improved within a short time. The house is now pleasantly warm and odor-free, and the old rubble-stone walls no longer radiate cold.»
Verena Bernhard, Biel
