ISOTEC mould removal

Mould in your living space is no small matter, but can endanger your health. ISOTEC mould damage removal first analyses and deals with the cause for the microbial attack. Then the mould is removed professionally according to regulations, including those of the Federal Bureau for the Environment.

The individual steps of the ISOTEC mould removal process

Determine of the extent of mold damage Emergency measure by air cleaning equipment Isolation of infected areas to the not infected Vacuum devices are installed Cleaning of furniture Mold remediation of the affected rooms Wet cleaning

The problem: mould damage

Mould arises for example if dampness collects on cold walls, or after water damage. Typically there will be black spots and a musty smell. Mould-affected plaster and wallpaper must be carefully removed.

1. Immediate action

To reduce the load of health-endangering mould spores in the room’s air and minimise unpleasant smells, before beginning removal work special air filtering machines are set up which are fitted with HEPA filters and activated carbon filters. This helps quickly protect the inhabitants. .

2. Sealing

 

The mould-contaminated area (black area) is sealed off from the non-contaminated area (white area) so that no dust can pass through. Access may be provided by a single-chamber airlock. To prevent mould spores from spreading into non-contaminated rooms, a vacuum device with a HEPA filter is installed in the restoration area.

3. Mould cleaning

Mould-affected wallpapers are removed, and any affected plaster is cut off and vacuumed away. The contaminated material is disposed of. The restoration area is disinfected using a solution of 80% isopropanol alcohol, which kills any remaining mycel. Only then can the masonry be insulated e.g. with ISOTEC climatisation panels, and the wall surface decorated.

Most mould spores are dangerous to your health. They spread in the air in a room and are then breathed in - which can lead to damage of the airways. Therefore, we must prevent any further spread of mould spores from affected “black” areas to non-affected “white” areas during restoration, by the use of special seals that prevent dust from passing through, and also airlocks.
