Mold removal
Would you like to have mold professionally removed in the Bern area so that it doesn't come back? We are specialized in permanent mold removal.
Effective mold control
Mold poses a serious threat to both human health and the fabric of the building. Under favorable conditions, mold can spread quickly, although visible signs do not necessarily appear. For this reason, you should react quickly in the event of mold infestation and consult a specialist. [1.]
The removal of visually visible mold stains is only the tip of the iceberg. Therefore, for the permanent elimination of mold, the source of moisture, from which the mold is fed, must first be permanently eliminated. Unfortunately, in practice, usually only the visible part of the mold is cleaned and painted over with a diffusion-proof paint. This often leads to an increase in moisture, which can now accumulate in the wall or on the paint.
We carefully identify the causes of the damp, which we then mitigate with suitable systems. If the damp comes from inside, we work with intelligent fans; if it comes from the building fabric, we carry out electrophysical building drying. Only after the moisture problem has been solved do we remove the mold and give the walls a new coat of diffusion-open paint. Contact us without obligation.

What are the causes of mold?
Mold needs persistent moisture and organic material to grow. Common causes of damp in buildings are condensation due to high humidity and cool wall surfaces; rising damp in walls; pressing slope or ground water; water damage due to leaking pipes or faulty installations; inadequate ventilation or heating or leaks in the building.
Where does mold occur?
According to Federal Environment Agency (UBA) moisture problems and mold occur in one in five households in Germany. Bathrooms, cellars and kitchens are most frequently affected. Generally speaking, areas in buildings that cool down or are insufficiently ventilated have a high risk of mold.

R. S. from Montreux says:
«The humidity has reduced to a normal level (50%-60%) within a very short time and the air quality in the heating and cellar is unrecognizable. No musty smell, no more mold! This is a great improvement compared to the last few years. The combination of the DRYMAT® electrophysical system and the Grammer® solar fan for automated ventilation really seems to be ideal.» ➝ other references
