What is it about?
The article provides an analysis of removing moisture from the soil masonry walls. The chemical pressure insulation may be considered as one of the alternatives. This paper describes the chemical waterproofing and points to a case study, which is a small church in the town of Košice. Renovation of the church took place in two stages, made using pressure chemical insulation for chemical grouting of envelope masonry. The appropriateness and effectiveness of the applied chemical methods can be seen in the conclusions of this contribution.

Why is it important?
Sacral buildings are valuable monuments in the construction of an unavoidable historical and cultural value. In the case of the rehabilitation of moisture such buildings therefore pay more than in other cases it is necessary to carry out construction and technical research and use it to propose a suitable solution to the problem of moisture of building structures. It isnecessary to carefully consider all building interventions in moisture damaged structures, to avoid any erratic application of newer technology and is not caused other disorders. Address remediation of moisture building usually consists of several measures. The aim of this paper is to describe possible solutions to the restoration of damp masonry small Roman Catholic church and their subsequent implementation.
Perspectives
Protection of buildings against water and moisture is one of the important measures in terms of security of their life and functional capacity. The moisture regime of the Church of the Divine Heart adversely affected by a number of inappropriate interventions that in the past worsened and threatened status of its masonry structures. Implemented technical measures (landscaping, roof drainage into storm sewers) reduced moisture load external walls of the church. Designed and implemented a method of rehabilitation of humid masonry chemical injection prevents the infiltration of ground moisture into external walls of the church building.
