Abstract

Removing moisture from the capillary walls affected by rising dampness is a priority for the historical sites in question. Appropriate measures and methods of intervention vary from one situation to another, especially when the financial factor is decisive. For the Romanian Orthodox Diocese in Hungary, St. Nicholas Cathedral from Gyula, some of the methods with high-efficiency rates over time are suggested. It is about Drykit, Dryzone respectively, and Comer. They come as a result of the on-site technical expertise. Specific intervention works from the outside and inside will be complemented with other related, aimed at removing the floor effect, foundations ventilation, and remediation of fallen plaster and damaged paintings.
