Causes of mould on the wall
Mould on walls is usually caused by moisture problems, such as condensation or leaks, combined with poor ventilation. Damp places offer mould spores the perfect place to grow.
Damp walls and high humidity
Muurschimmels gedijen in vochtige omstandigheden. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan opstijgend of doorslaand vocht, of aan condensatie. Condens ontstaat wanneer warme lucht afkoelt op koude oppervlakken, zoals muren, plafonds of ramen.
Cracks in the external wall
Cold weather conditions can cause cracks in the outer wall. Rainwater seeps in through these openings, creating damp interior walls. A perfect breeding ground for mould.
Leaks
A leak can cause moisture problems, even if it has already been fixed. Residual moisture after a roof leak or burst pipe can cause long-term problems.
Residential damp
Often residents themselves are unknowingly the cause. Poor ventilation in the bathroom or bedroom can lead to moisture accumulation. While showering or even through breathing, we lose moisture, which lingers without adequate ventilation.
The consequences
Mould can lead to damage to your home, health problems and financial consequences. It corrodes materials, worsens respiratory complaints and can necessitate expensive repairs.
Property damage
Mould spores damage walls, ceilings and floors. Wallpaper and paint come off, woodwork can rot, and damp patches cause permanent damage. These problems often require costly repairs or replacement of materials.
In addition, mould affects the value of your home. Damp spots and visible mould deter potential buyers and raise concerns about structural problems and additional costs.
Possible health issues
Mould spores can cause or worsen serious health problems. According to RIVM, they aggravate respiratory complaints, such as asthma or bronchitis.
Long-term exposure can cause allergies and respiratory tract irritations. Children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.
THE solutions!
You can prevent mould by proper ventilation and promptly tackling moisture problems. For existing mould spots, effective cleaning methods and professional help are available.
Mould prevention
Prevention is always better than cure. Daily ventilation through windows, vents or a dehumidifier will keep moisture under control. Address moisture problems such as leaks or wet walls immediately to limit damage and mould growth.
If natural ventilation is not enough, mechanical ventilation or moisture-extractors can be a solution. Waterproofing your exterior walls by impregnation or damp-proofing paint will also help prevent moisture penetration.
Fighting mould
Do you already have mould in your home? You can treat small spots with cleaners or home remedies such as vinegar. Be careful and wear gloves and a mouth mask. Dry removal is not recommended as it spreads spores.
Does the mould return or is the problem persistent? Our experts offer a definitive solution with professional equipment and thorough approach.

Schimmels herkent u aan zwarte, witte, groene of gele vlekken met een pluizige of slijmerige textuur. Ze gaan vaak gepaard met een muffe geur en groeien op vochtige, slecht geventileerde oppervlakken.
Loose wallpaper or plaster can also indicate hidden mould. Moisture causes glue to lose and plaster to crumble, which can exacerbate mould growth.
Painting over wall mould is not effective as the mould grows through the paint and the problem remains. Professional treatment and addressing the underlying cause are crucial for lasting mould-free results.
Mould is not always visible; it can hide behind wallpaper, paint or furniture. Signs such as a musty smell, damp patches or health complaints can indicate the presence of hidden mould.
Whether your insurance covers the cost of mould control depends on your policy and the cause of the mould. Damage caused by leaks or building defects is often covered.
No, mould does not disappear on its own! Although less moisture can slow the growth, the spores remain present and can multiply again with an increase in moisture.
