ATE device installer: advice for supporting the final customer
May 11, 2026ATE devices: a professional solution for rising damp treatment
Rising damp is a common issue in older houses, stone buildings, basements, ground floors and properties built on moisture-prone ground. For building professionals, these cases often appear during renovation projects, damp treatment work, energy improvement projects or building restoration.
ATE devices allow installers, renovation companies, contractors, surveyors and damp treatment specialists to offer their clients an electromagnetic solution designed to support the gradual drying of walls affected by rising damp.
Using low-frequency electromagnetic technology, ATE devices act on the behaviour of water present in building materials. They help limit upward capillary movement and support the gradual return of moisture towards the ground, without chemical injections, demolition or destructive building work.
For professionals, this solution can be a valuable addition to an existing service offering. It helps meet a strong market demand: treating damp walls without systematically proposing heavy, invasive or disruptive work.
Once installed on a load-bearing wall and connected, the device operates continuously, silently and without specific maintenance. The ATE range includes several models: ATE LC15 for smaller areas or localised issues, ATE LC30 for many individual houses and medium-sized properties, and ATE MAX for larger buildings, thicker walls or more significant damp situations.
ATE devices can be recommended to clients dealing with damp walls at ground level, salt deposits, damaged plaster, peeling paint or persistent wall damp linked to rising damp.
ATE devices are designed for rising damp. They do not treat roof leaks, plumbing leaks, flooding, major lateral water ingress or condensation caused only by poor ventilation.
