For obvious reasons we want to respond to a frequently asked question of our customers: most people concerned of a water damage want to know if it is possible to dry screeds with an insulation layer or a floor heating only by the use of a dehumidifier.
There’s one simple answer on this question: No. Drying (only) by the use dehumidifiers isn’t possible!
If there’s stagnate water on the floor after a flooding or a water damage and if there’s a screed layer with an insulation layer or a floor heating benath the top layers (like a carpet, laminate or flaggings) the water runs through the edge trims and expansion joints in this area of the insulation layer in 99% of the time.
The water “stands” under the screed now. If you deploy a dehumidifier it is possible to dry the screed’s surface indeed, but the water stays in the insulation layer beneath. The creation of odour and mould starts normally after a few weeks due to natural decomposition. An unpleasant rotten odour and blotches of mould along the under areas of the walls are the consequences. The water in the insulation dryer is “lifted up” by the wall and it’s plaster. This so-called capillary attraction can be compared with a flower in a vase. Because of these facts only using a dehumidifier at insulation layers under screeds isn’t enough.
For desiccation of constructions of screeds and insulation layers we recommend the service of an expert company with special equipment for desiccation of insulation layers. If the water made its way under the insulation layers specific processes will be deployed one by one.
At first there should be measurements for determining a leakage or the determination of the water already being under the insulation layer. Then drillings through the construction function as entries for special appliances which suction the water and dry the insulation layer. If you have a natural hazard insurance a water damage is normally covered.
Not only after major incidents like fire damages odour nuisance is a consequential loss. Even after small water damages a mouldy odour can disturb your interior climate and also be harmful for your health. There can be an odour nuisance because of dead gnawers or small birds in openings of your house or flat they couldn’t leave. And also reorganisation measures – paint, glue and varnish – up to a typically smell of new buildings can cause an odour nuisance which has to be removed very fast.
One possibility to get rid of the odour is to change the air in a room regularly. If this method doesn’t work most people try to fight the odour with different flavours. So-called aerosols enclose the odour molecule and it doesn’t „smell“ anymore. But if the substance is used up the odour nuisance comes back.
A known alternative available on the market are odour neutralisers. They don’t enclose the odour with other scenting agents, but they break it down chemically – so the odour is simply gone.
In this case ozone generators or plasma field ionizers are used in practice. Depending on the type of odour one of the applications is chosen in each case to “neutralise” it.
How do odour neutralisers work?
Ozone generators subject sucked in air to a so-called corona discharge. That means that atomic oxygen is produced continuously, a free radical which leads to the generation of O3 – ozone. The radicals generated in the appliance accelerate the oxidative degeneration of airborne and stationary germs and contaminants (e.g. in floors, walls, ceilings) and lead to an odour neutralisation. Ozone is very harmful for your health and it is only allowed to use it in closed and sealed rooms and only authorized personnel is allowed to use it. This extremely reactive oxidising agent is almost only used for restructuring after fire damages.
The functioning principle of plasma field ionizers (pfi) [AirgoPro8] is comparable to that of ozone generators with the difference that they require a lower energy input. The air directed through the appliance is subjected to a corona discharge (ionisation). The fission products only formed within the fixed plasma are made of singulett oxygen and its modifications and atomic oxygen as a free radical. Due to the pfi principle oxygen (O2) is split into 2 x O1. The radical O1 tries to react with something immediately and splits the odour molecule. The odour is removed and not enclosed with scenting agents like those used at “Fogging”.
Not like ozone generators pfi appliances can even be operated in occupied rooms.
Infrared cameras of the IC-series have been extended by the V-series and the LV-series. Now the IC-series is one of the most extensive solutions in the sector infrared cameras.
In contrast to standard devices infrared cameras of the V-series (IC080V, IC120V) are equipped with an additional real image camera, a photo lamp and DuoVision which allows an overlapping of both infrared and real image.
Models of the LV-series (IC080LV, IC120LV) extend the beneficial V-series equipped with an 384 x 288 infrared sensor with 110.592 temperature measuring points. Another special feature is the geometric resolution of 1.3 mrad.

TROTEC work tent used for cable layings
This is a short article about the practical use of our work tents.
In Heinsberg the work tent 180×250 KE was used for cable layings. But there was a problem: the hole was larger than the work tent. Nevertheless the work tent could be fixed safe by means of nylon ropes. Therefore the back of the work tent was placed on the edge of the hole. The work tent didn’t have any other contact to the ground and so it was floating.
Easy access to the cables was possible because of this advantage and all cables could be reached for necessary works.
Due to the many possibilities for fixing the work tent it is flexibly usable.
The topic humidity measuring in screeds remains an evergreen. In circles of experts and even in the specialised press people don’t stop discussing and reporting about this issue.
The iba-institution Koblenz under administration of the diploma engineer (senior technical college) Hans-Joachim Rolof started a survey concerning this topic.
“Which method is actually used? Who measures electrically, who measures the CM-%? Which is the generally accepted measuring method?”
People had been interviewed who are concerned with the determination of residual moisture in screeds. Including 30% of representatives of the adhesives industry and flooring industry; 23% experts; 16% floor layers; 9% screed layers; 7% architects / site managers; 5% manufactures of measuring instruments and 10% others.
Concerning the question „how to measure“ the attendees answered:
Electrical moisture measurement (only): 14%
CM-method (only): 21%
Electrical moisture measurement and CM-method: 65%
Darr analysis: 19%
Microwave analysis: 2%
Note: Additionally to the electrical method and the CM-method namings of alternative methods (Darr analysis etc.) have been allowed. Especially experts measure moisture in building material on-site and in laboratories so that more than 100% of namings result.
The survey pointed out clearly that ¾ of those polled using both measure methods, the electrical moisture measurement and the CM-method (65% of the attendees), use the electrical moisture measurement as intermediate examination to determine a checkpoint for the Cm-method.
About 2/3 of those polled made good experiences with the CM-method, but about a half of them is satisfied with the electrical method.
In fact the combination of both methods is best to define moisture in screeds. With the electrical measuring instruments you can control how screed desiccates und the user needn’t conduct the complex CM-method at his visits at the construction sites. Finally if the metered values on the screen of the electronic moisture measuring instrument don’t change he although has to conduct the CM-method – there’s still no other way to handle it.
After the first presentation at the fire service fair FLORIAN 2008 in Sinsheim the fire brigade Heppenheim was absolutely thrilled by the mobile TROTEC safety screen. Instead of using blankets to protect the crash site the fire brigade Heppenheim now uses the mobile safety screen technology.
Benefits of mobile safety screens:
We would be most glad to send you a demo-safety screen at your request.
