How does the Tiense loam affect your home?

The origins of moisture problems In Tienen, everything is linked to the specific geography of the region. Tienen is situated on the border with the Haspengouw loam region, where the subsoil consists mainly of a dense sandy loam and loam structure. Loam has the property of absorbing water very well, but allowing it to seep through very slowly. When it rains heavily, the rainwater does not seep into the deeper layers of soil in Tienen quickly enough. Combined with the fluctuating water levels of the Gete, this results in persistent and increased groundwater pressure against the cellar walls and foundations of your home in Tienen. As many historic and older properties in Tienen were built without effective water barriers, the bricks absorb the moisture like a sponge. This leads to rising damp in the living areas and damp cellars.
