Mold remediation
Would you like to finally get rid of mold permanently? We do sustainable mold remediation. By fundamentally solving the moisture problem in the building, mold no longer stands a chance.
Sustainable mold remediation
Mold attacks the fabric of the building and forms a serious threat to the health of the people in the building. [1.] In practice, mold is often washed off with Javel water and then painted over with a diffusion-proof paint. This, unfortunately, worsens the moisture problem, which is the cause of mold, because now the moisture can more easily accumulate on the surface or in the wall.
We offer sustainable mould remediation by first carefully analyzing and eliminating the causes of moisture and then removing the mould in a way that is gentle on the building and health. We only use chlorine-free products and diffusion-open paints. The result is permanently mold-free rooms and an improved indoor climate. Contact us without obligation.

Questions & Answers
What is the cost of mold remediation?
We offer mold remediation from EUR 1,000 per square meter. This is only an estimate, which varies from case to case. The cost of mold remediation depends on the extent of the infestation, the type of moisture source, the material and accessibility of the affected area and the methods used. Mold remediation requires several staggered treatments.
Why should mold remediation be done early?
Mold can spread quickly under favorable conditions. Early mold remediation prevents further spread, health consequences for the people in the house and structural damage to the building fabric. A quick response to the mold also means that the cost of remediation is usually lower. Further information on mold from the Federal Environment Agency UBA
How does mold remediation work?
Mold remediation involves identifying the causes, insulating the area, mitigating the sources of moisture and removing the mold by cleaning. We usually finish by painting the affected walls with a diffusion-open anti-mold paint.
Why mold remediation from Haustrocknung.de?
We have specialized in the dehumidification of buildings and their consequential damage since 2010. In addition to mold, we also eliminate its causes by permanently solving the moisture problem. So mold no longer stands a chance. Our systems also generally lead to a noticeable improvement in the indoor climate.
How much does mold remediation cost?
We carry out mold remediation from EUR 1,000 per square meter. This guide value varies in individual cases depending on the extent of the mold infestation, causes of moisture, accessibility and material of the affected area as well as the methods used.
What do I have to consider regarding the costs?
In practice, mold in buildings often has to be remediated several times because unsuitable methods are used that are supposedly cheap. Mold remediation is only successful if the causes of the mold can be eliminated. This often requires ventilation or dehumidification of parts of the building.
What are the cost-driving factors?
Cost-driving factors in mold remediation are the cause of the moisture, the extent of the mold infestation, the materials affected and access to the mold site. Several staggered treatments are also necessary for serious mold removal.
Can you guarantee a permanently mold-free result?
Yes, by carefully analyzing the causes of the mould infestation and eliminating them with suitable measures, we can guarantee that the mould will not return. In most cases, the measures lead to a noticeable improvement in the indoor climate in the affected rooms.
How does mold remediation work?
First, we identify the causes of moisture and draw up a remediation concept. We then mitigate the causes of moisture and eliminate the mold with an anti-mold treatment. We usually finish by painting the wall with a breathable anti-mold paint.
Which methods does Haustrocknung.ch use?
Eliminating the cause of the moisture is crucial to the success of mold remediation. Here we work either with intelligent ventilation systems or with electrophysical wall dehumidification if damp building fabric is partly responsible for the mold. We use chlorine-free products for mold removal. As far as the final coat of paint is concerned, we work exclusively with breathable anti-mold paints.
What are common mistakes in mold remediation?
In practice, mold is often washed off with Javel water and then painted over with an emulsion paint. Because the wall can no longer breathe, moisture can accumulate more easily either under the paint or on the paint, which often leads to the mold returning. Only if the moisture problem is solved effectively will the mold stay away permanently.
Is the result guaranteed to be permanently mold-free?
Yes, by carefully analyzing and mitigating the causes of moisture, we can guarantee that the mould will not return. At the same time, we often achieve a noticeable improvement in the indoor climate.
What is mold?
Mold comprises several fungi that thrive in damp environments. The mold forms a network within the infested material that is barely visible to the naked eye. Spores form on the surface and, in the case of heavy infestation, a cotton-like growth. Mold infestation can occur in various colors, such as black, gray, green, white, yellow and red.
What are the causes of mold?
Mold develops in the event of persistent dampness and can be promoted by insufficient ventilation. Causes of mold infestation are damp building fabric and wall surfaces due to water damage, leaking pipes, moisture rising in the wall, condensation, high humidity or inadequate heating or ventilation.
Where does mold occur?
Mold can occur in damp rooms such as bathrooms, basements, kitchens and in walls. Poorly ventilated areas in general are also susceptible to mold infestation.
Why should I call in a professional if I have a severe mold infestation?
On the one hand, mold does not always appear in a form that is visible to the naked eye. On the other hand, the causes of mold can be complex and have several influencing factors, some of which overlap or influence each other. For these reasons, a specialist is required to assess the extent and causes of mold infestation and to draw up a remediation concept.
What is the process of mold remediation?
Mold remediation includes inspection, identification of the causes, removal of the mold, remediation of the causes and final inspection.
Approximately how long does mold remediation take?
Mold remediation can take from a few days to several weeks. The effective duration depends on the size of the affected area, the severity of the mold infestation and the cause of the moisture.
What is your approach to mold inspection?
How do you protect your health when working with mold?
Wear protective equipment during mold remediation, depending on the type and extent of the mold infestation. Adhere to the Requirements of the German Social Accident Insurance DGUV for the safe removal of mold.
R. S. from Montreux says:
"The installed DRYMAT® system mastered the difficult task. The humidity has been reduced to a normal level (50%-60%) within a very short time and the air quality in the heating and cellar is unrecognizable. No more musty smells, no more mold!" ➝ other references
