Old buildings need to dry, not be sealed
Impermeable coatings on historic masonry trap moisture in the wall and push the problem somewhere less visible. We work with how the building was built.

East Berlin has one of the older concentrated building stocks in the county, and with age comes a specific set of moisture behaviours. Stone and brick foundations, timber framing that sits low relative to grade, and centuries of accumulated modifications — added rooms, enclosed porches, re-routed drainage — each of which changed how water moves around the building.
Working on genuinely old buildings takes a different instinct. Aggressive sealing and impermeable coatings tend to make old assemblies worse, because those buildings were designed to breathe and dry rather than to block water outright. The goal is to get the water away from the building and let the material dry, not to wrap it.
How We Work in East Berlin
Careful, minimal removal
On older properties we remove what genuinely has to come out and preserve original material wherever readings allow it.
Additions are where the water gets in
Enclosed porches, added rooms and modified rooflines are the usual failure points on old houses. That is where we look first.
Moisture readings guide everything
Meters rather than assumptions decide the boundary of the work on buildings this old.
