Mold expertise
Would you like to have mold assessed by a specialist? We make mold analyses and expertises in the whole of Switzerland. In addition, we offer professional mold remediation.
Mold assessment from professionals
According to the Federal Office of Public Health, mold occurs in nearly every fourth household.[1.] Mold poses a particular risk to the health of people living in the affected building and can cause lasting damage to the fabric of the building. We inspect your mold infestation, advise you on site or prepare an expert opinion for you, which you can also use in court if necessary.
As part of the mold inspection, we measure room temperature, humidity, the moisture of the building fabric of walls, ceilings and floors, as well as the surface temperatures of the building components. Based on the moisture measurements and temperature distribution, we can isolate the cause of mold. Where appropriate, we take mold samples for laboratory analysis.
In addition to mold assessment, we offer professional mold remediation, eliminating the cause of moisture with intelligent ventilation or electrophysical dehumidification. Contact us without obligation.

Questions & Answers
How much does a mold assessment cost?
We distinguish the on-site mold analysis with a verbal consultation from the mold analysis with a written expert opinion: The former costs about CHF 300 - 500 while a written expert opinion costs between CHF 1,000 and 1,500. We also do mold analyses without a prior quote. If nothing else is agreed, the specified tariffs.
How long does a mold inspection take?
On-site mold inspection with verbal consultation takes about 2 to 4 hours; mold inspection with written report takes about one day. The completion of the order normally takes no longer than two weeks.
What does the mold appraiser do?
The mold expert inspects the mold infestation on site to find out whether mold is present at all, how extensive the damage is and to what causes the mold can be attributed. Subsequently, the mold expert prepares a written report with the results, recommendations for action and a cost estimate.
What is our expertise in mold?
We have been specializing in solving moisture problems in buildings since 2010.
