What we deliver and which problem we solve
What we deliver
Infra Remonti EOOD provides specialized services for the complete restoration of interior surfaces damaged by water. Our work is not a cosmetic fix, but an engineering process that eliminates the consequences of leaks, floods, burst pipes, or condensation. The service is designed for homeowners, property managers, hotels, offices, and industrial buildings facing visible or hidden moisture damage. Our scope begins with precise diagnostics, using professional equipment like Flir thermal cameras and Trotec contact moisture meters, to accurately define the full perimeter of the problem, which is often 2-3 times larger than the visible area. Our teams are equipped with industrial condensation dehumidifiers, powerful breakers for removing compromised plaster, and specialized tools for applying systemic products. We primarily operate in Varna and Burgas, where high humidity and salty air accelerate material degradation, but we also undertake significant projects in Plovdiv and Sofia, where we often encounter old buildings and complex cases. We take on projects of any scale – from localized wall damage of 10 m² to entire flooded floors and basements exceeding 300 m². As part of the Infra Remonti EOOD group, we have the capacity and logistics to manage complex and large-scale restoration activities.
Which problem we solve
The main problem we solve is the structural and hygienic compromise of buildings due to moisture. Ignoring a damp spot leads to a chain reaction of problems. First, colonies of mould and mildew develop (such as Stachybotrys chartarum, the so-called 'black mould'), which release mycotoxins causing allergies, respiratory problems, and headaches. Second, moisture destroys building materials: plaster crumbles, plasterboard disintegrates, paint peels, and wooden elements begin to rot, compromising their structural integrity. In reinforced concrete structures, moisture causes rebar corrosion, leading to a reduction in load-bearing capacity. If the problem is not addressed promptly, small damage of 5 m² costing €1,500 can spread through capillary rise and affect an area of 50-60 m², turning into a major renovation costing over €10,000. In coastal areas such as Varna, moisture carries salts into the masonry, which upon crystallization (efflorescence and subflorescence) create enormous pressure, literally pushing out and destroying plaster and paint. Our intervention breaks this destructive cycle, eliminates health risks, and prevents the exponential increase in costs for future repairs.

What does the 'Repair after leak and damp' service include?
Our process is systematic and covers all aspects of the problem to ensure a lasting solution.
Precise diagnostics with moisture meter and thermal camera
We use non-destructive methods for accurate mapping of moisture. The thermal camera instantly shows cold, damp areas, and the contact moisture meter measures the percentage of moisture content up to 4 cm deep in the masonry. This allows us to define the exact intervention perimeter, without unnecessary breaking of healthy sections, and to identify hidden problems.
Site safety and preparation
Before starting work, the entire work area is isolated with thick plastic sheeting to prevent the spread of dust and mould spores to the rest of the property. Furniture is covered or removed. Electrical installations in the affected area are switched off and secured to guarantee the safety of our teams and the site.
Mechanical removal of compromised materials
This is the most important step. Using breakers and hand tools, we remove every part of plaster, filler, plasterboard, wallpaper, or paint that shows signs of damp, mould, or structural instability. We clean the base down to sound brick, concrete, or other load-bearing material, including removing all crumbly particles and dust.
Deep drying with industrial dehumidifiers
We deploy professional condensation dehumidifiers (e.g., Trotec TTK 170 ECO with a capacity of up to 50 l/24h) and fans that work continuously to extract moisture from the air and building materials. The process continues until the moisture content of the substrate drops below 15%, which is monitored with daily measurements. This is critical to prevent recurrence.
Anti-mycotic and antibacterial treatment
After visible mould is removed, we treat the bare substrate with powerful biocidal solutions like Ceresit CT 99. These preparations penetrate the material's pores and destroy the root system (mycelium) of the mould, thus ensuring it will not reappear under new coatings. The solution is left to act for the manufacturer's recommended time.
Application of a waterproofing or vapour barrier primer
Depending on the situation, we apply a specialized primer. For problems with capillary moisture or negative water pressure (in basements), we apply a crystallizing or two-component waterproofing slurry like Mapei Planiseal 288. In other cases, we use a deep-penetrating strengthening primer to create a solid base for subsequent layers.
Restoration of masonry and base plasters
If there are damaged bricks, they are replaced. Then a new layer of base plaster is applied. For areas with residual moisture or salts, we use specialized remediation plaster (e.g., Baumit Sanova), which is highly vapour-permeable and has pores for storing salts. Standardly, we apply lime-cement plaster 1.5-2 cm thick, which is smoothed.
Application of fine fillers
After the base coat is completely dry, we apply two or more layers of fine gypsum or cement filler (e.g., Knauf Satengips/Fugenfüller) to achieve a perfectly smooth and even surface, ready for painting. Each layer is carefully sanded. The goal is to achieve surface quality class Q3 or Q4, without visible defects.
Priming and painting with vapour-permeable paints
A crucial final stage is painting with the correct product. We use high-quality 'breathable' paints – silicate or silicone (e.g., Caparol Sylitol), which have very low water vapour diffusion resistance (high Sd value). This allows the wall to remain 'open' and naturally regulate room humidity, preventing condensation.
Final cleaning and site handover
Upon completion of all construction activities, our team performs a thorough cleaning of the work area. We remove all waste, dust, and protective coverings. The site is handed over to the client in a clean and ready-to-use condition, along with a signed protocol and an official written 15-year warranty for the services performed.
Our Process: From Diagnostics to a Fully Restored Room
We follow a strict 8-step procedure to guarantee the quality and longevity of the repair.
- 1
Step 1: Initial inspection and measurements
After your call, our technical specialist will visit the site (free of charge for Varna) for a detailed inspection. Using a thermal camera and moisture meter, we compile a 'moisture map' that accurately identifies affected areas. Based on this data, within 24 hours, we prepare a detailed offer with a bill of quantities and costs, describing all necessary activities, materials, and execution deadlines.
- 2
Step 2: Contract and advance payment (30%)
Upon approval of the offer, we sign a bilateral contract. It clearly defines the scope of work, final price, deadlines, and warranty conditions. To start the project and material delivery, an advance payment of 30% of the total value is made. This stage provides security for both parties and fixes our commitment to your project.
- 3
Step 3: Dismantling and removal of damage
This is the dirtiest but critically important phase. Our team begins with careful but thorough removal of all water-damaged layers – paint, wallpaper, filler, plaster, plasterboard, or panelling. We work cleanly and methodically, removing and transporting all construction waste to a specialized landfill. The goal is to reach a sound and clean structural base.
- 4
Step 4: Drying and disinfection
The exposed and cleaned base is treated with a strong anti-mycotic preparation to destroy mould spores. Immediately after that, we install professional drying machines and fans. They work continuously for 3 to 7 days, depending on the degree of saturation, extracting moisture from deep within. We monitor the process daily with a moisture meter until target values are reached.
- 5
Step 5: Base restoration and waterproofing
Once we are sure the base is completely dry (below 15% humidity), we proceed with restoration. First, we apply a deep-penetrating primer to strengthen the surface. Then, if necessary (e.g., in basements or bathrooms), we apply an elastic cementitious waterproofing membrane 2-3 mm thick. This layer creates a secure barrier against future moisture penetration.
- 6
Step 6: Rough plaster and filler
At this stage, a second interim payment of 40% is due. We begin by applying the main layer of plaster – remedial or standard lime-cement, to straighten the wall and restore its geometry. After the technological drying time, we apply several layers of fine filler to prepare an ideally smooth surface for painting. All corners are shaped with aluminium edge protectors.
- 7
Step 7: Final finishing works
After fine sanding of the filler, the surface is primed again to ensure uniform paint absorption. This is followed by a two-layer painting with the client's chosen high-quality vapour-permeable paint. Finally, we reinstall all skirting boards, switches, sockets, and light fixtures that were removed at the beginning of the process.
- 8
Step 8: Site acceptance and final payment (30%)
We conduct a joint inspection with the client to ensure everything has been completed according to the contract and expectations. The site is handed over completely cleaned. A handover protocol is signed, the 15-year written warranty is issued, and the final payment of the remaining 30% is made. Your home is once again dry, healthy, and safe.

Materials: The Foundation of Durable Repair
We use only certified systemic solutions from leading manufacturers to guarantee the result.
Anti-mould concentrate Ceresit CT 99
This is a professional biocidal solution for deep remediation of infected substrates. Unlike household chlorine-based preparations, it doesn't just bleach, but destroys the mycelium (roots) of mould in the pores of concrete and brick. It is applied by spraying or brushing onto the exposed substrate and left to act for 24 hours before subsequent operations. It does not contain volatile organic compounds.
Two-component waterproofing Mapei Planiseal 288
An elastic cement-polymer waterproofing membrane that we apply in basements and on walls with negative water pressure. It creates a continuous layer 2-3 mm thick, which is completely waterproof but remains vapour-permeable. Its elasticity allows it to accommodate slight structural movements and bridge cracks up to 0.8mm without compromising the integrity of the barrier.
Remedial plaster Baumit SanovaPutz S
This plaster is a key element in combating damp and salt. It has a specially designed structure with a high pore volume (over 40%) and very low capillary absorption. This allows it to draw moisture from the masonry and release it into the air, while salts crystallize in its pores without damaging the finish layer. Its vapour permeability coefficient μ is < 12, making it extremely 'breathable'.
Deep penetrating primer SikaGard-905 W
This is a water-based product, based on alkaline silicates, which we use to strengthen crumbly and dusty substrates damaged by moisture. It penetrates deeply, chemically reacts with the substrate, and hardens it. At the same time, it creates a surface barrier that prevents the outbreak of salts (efflorescence). It is ideal for preparing old masonry before applying new coatings.
Gypsum filler Knauf Satengips
For the fine smoothing of walls, we rely on proven products such as Knauf Satengips. This is a gypsum filler that allows the application of very thin layers and achieves a mirror-smooth surface (Q4 quality). An important property is its good vapour permeability, which does not 'seal' the wall and is compatible with our overall 'breathable' repair system.
Silicate interior paint Caparol Sylitol Bio-Innenfarbe
The final layer is crucial. This paint is completely mineral, based on liquid potassium glass. It does not create a film on the wall but chemically binds with the substrate (silicates). It has extremely high vapour permeability (class V1, Sd-value < 0.02 m) and natural high alkalinity (pH > 11), which acts as a preventive protection against mould development. It contains no preservatives, solvents, or plasticizers.
