Supplementary hydrophobic treatment of concrete surfaces can be a durable and potent means of lowering the moisture content of the concrete and improve its durability by inhibiting the migration of aggressive substances as well as slowing down the corrosion process. In this work, comparative tests were conducted on the efficiency and long-term durability of various hydrophobic agents on different concrete types. The effectiveness and durability of the hydrophobic treatment was monitored by a multiring-electrode sensor, which indicates the variation of humidity of the concrete in different depths through measurement of its electrolytic resistivity. Results show that the applied dosage on the specimens influenced the durability and efficiency of the hydrophobic treatment the most significantly. Other factors, such as active content, type of active agent, or penetration depth, have only a subordinate influence.
