Our Services for Water Damage and Building Moisture in Munich and the Surrounding Area
Leak Detection and Moisture Assessment
A damp wall does not automatically reveal where the water is coming from. We locate leaks and identify moisture patterns using appropriate measurement and inspection technology. Ths aillows us to determine precisely which building components need to be opened, dried or repaired.
Water Extraction and Pumping
If standing water is present in a basement, apartment, shaft or technical room, we remove it using professional pumping and extraction equipment. We then prepare the affected areas for cleaning, moisture measurement and technical drying.
Screed and Insulation Layer Drying
If water penetrates beneath the screed, moisture can spread through the insulation layer far beyond the visibly affected area. We dry the floor construction using a suitable positive-pressure or negative-pressure drying method and monitor the drying progress with regular moisture measurements.
Cavity and Containment Drying
Moisture inside drywall constructions, suspended ceilings, installation shafts or limited building areas requires controlled airflow. With cavity drying or containment drying, we direct dry air exactly where it is needed.
Building Drying and New-Build Drying
After screed, plaster, concrete or renovation work, significant construction moisture often remains inside the building. We plan technical building drying according to the size of the property, materials, room temperature and construction schedule — for new buildings, renovations and existing properties.
Drain and Pipe Cleaning
Blocked pipes can lead to backups, overflows and further water damage. We clean pipes and drains and, where necessary, combine the service directly with water extraction, moisture measurement and subsequent drying.
Water Damage Restoration and Reinstatement
Water damage is not fully resolved once the drying equipment has been removed. The affected rooms must also be restored to a usable condition. Depending on the extent of the damage, we carry out controlled removal work, close necessary drying openings and restore affected wall, ceiling and floor surfaces. You have one point of contact from the initial damage assessment through to final completion.
Which Drying Method Is the Right One?
There is no single drying method suitable for every water damage situation. The correct solution depends on factors such as the building construction, materials, temperature, extent of moisture and accessibility. After carrying out the necessary measurements, we determine which drying method — or combination of methods — is most appropriate.
Condensation Drying
During condensation drying, moist room air is drawn into the drying unit, cooled and the resulting condensation water is collected. This method is particularly suitable for heated indoor spaces as well as for room and surface drying.
Adsorption Drying
Adsorption dryers remove moisture from the air using a desiccant material. This method can be especially useful at lower temperatures or in situations where particularly dry process air is required.
Insulation Layer Drying Using Positive or Negative Pressure
When floor constructions are affected by moisture, dry air is directed specifically through the insulation layer. Whether a positive-pressure or negative-pressure method is used depends on the structure of the floor and the individual damage situation.
Cavity and Containment Drying
For limited areas or difficult-to-access cavities, dry air is directed specifically into the affected area. A containment system can isolate the drying zone and concentrate the drying process on the damaged building component.
Moisture Monitoring
We do not stop the drying process based on guesswork or simply because a predetermined number of days has passed. Regular moisture measurements show how the moisture levels are developing and when the agreed drying target has been reached.

How It Works
Report the Damage and Describe the Situation
Tell us by phone where water is leaking or where visible moisture has appeared.
Leak Detection and Moisture Measurement
We identify the likely source of the damage and determine which building components have been affected by moisture.
Drying Concept and Equipment Installation
Based on the measurement results and the construction of the affected building components, we select the appropriate drying method. We then install the required drying equipment.
Equipment Removal and Restoration
Once the drying target has been reached, the drying equipment is removed. We then restore the affected wall, ceiling and floor surfaces.
Typical Water Damage Situations We Handle
Burst Pipes and Pipe Leaks
Leaks in drinking water pipes, heating pipes or wastewater pipes can affect walls, floors and adjacent rooms. We locate the damaged area, determine the extent of the moisture and plan the required drying measures.
Basement Flooding and Heavy Rain
Following heavy rainfall or water entering from outside, we remove standing water and determine which walls, floors and installed elements have been affected.
Backups and Blocked Drains
If a blockage or sewer backup causes water to escape, we combine drain cleaning, water removal, cleaning and technical drying according to the individual damage situation.
Leaking Washing Machines or Dishwashers
Defective connections, hoses or household appliances can cause hidden moisture underneath floor coverings and screed. Moisture measurements show whether only the surface has been affected or whether the floor construction underneath is also wet.
Moisture Beneath Screed and Floor Coverings
Even if the surface already appears dry, water may still remain within insulation layers or underneath floor coverings. In these cases, targeted screed or insulation layer drying may be necessary.
Hidden Moisture in Walls and Ceilings
Leaks behind wall coverings, within drywall constructions, shafts or suspended ceilings can remain unnoticed for a long time. We identify the affected area and select the most targeted drying solution possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do First in the Event of Acute Water Damage?
First, make sure that you and anyone else in the property are not in danger. Only shut off the water supply and electricity in the affected area if it is safe to do so. Document visible damage with photos and report the damage as quickly as possible. If the water may be contaminated, avoid entering the affected area unnecessarily.
