What is The Wetaway System?
The Wetaway System is a unique method for rapidly restoring water-damaged buildings.
In addition, it prevents and excludes problems associated with dampness reoccurring after conventional drying certificates are issued, potentially saving thousands of pounds and damage to companies' reputations.
So it speeds up drying?
Not exactly, no. It is important to distinguish The Wetaway System from other drying-out methods. Trying to dry a building too quickly can result in irreparable structural damage. The Wetaway System does not increase the rate at which the building dries, but it changes how it dries.
How does it do that?
The Wetaway System rapidly creates a dry internal environment by ensuring that any moisture within the building fabric dries towards the outside of the building. Under normal circumstances, water droplets inside the walls are drawn towards the inside surfaces. When The Wetway System is installed, this process is reversed, and the wetness is diverted toward the external wall surfaces.
Who can install The Wetaway System?
Given the specialist nature of this system, and that part of the process is subject to patent, there are a limited number of approved installers currently covering the United Kingdom. To be sent details of your nearest, please email installers@wetaway.co.uk

What does it involve?
There are two vital components to The Wetaway System: an internal isolation membrane, which is used to line the internal wall surfaces, and an atmospheric pressure adjustment unit (APAU).
