Causes of concrete mould
Mould on concrete is caused by a combination of moisture, a food source and the right conditions. Concrete is naturally porous, which means it retains moisture and is ideal for mould growth.
Damp and wet environment
Concrete is porous and retains moisture, especially in high humidity or flooding conditions. This makes it an ideal breeding ground for mould.
Organic food source
Although concrete itself does not provide a food source, a thin layer of dust or dirt on the surface can provide enough nutrients for mould growth.
Suitable temperature and lack of light
Warme, vochtige omstandigheden bevorderen schimmelgroei, terwijl een gebrek aan zonlicht – zoals in basements and kruipruimtes – schimmels helpt te overleven.
The consequences
Schimmel op beton kan schadelijk zijn voor uw huis én voor uw gezondheid. Het tijdig aanpakken van schimmelsporen is essentieel om verdere problemen te voorkomen.
Damage to your property
Mould on concrete can lead to concrete rot. Despite the hard structure of concrete, mould can eat into it, causing cracks and crumbling.
Deze schade verzwakt de constructie van vloeren and muren aanzienlijk. Als u tekenen van betonrot ziet, is het belangrijk om snel actie te ondernemen om verdere schade te voorkomen.
Possible health issues
Mould spores can cause health complaints, especially with prolonged exposure. Mild complaints such as sore throat, colds and shortness of breath are common.
However, long-term exposure can lead to serious health problems.
THE solutions!
You can fight mould yourself or have it treated by a professional. It is important to choose the right approach depending on the extent and severity of the mould.
Removing it yourself
Protect yourself properly while removing mould on concrete. Wear a mask, goggles and gloves to avoid exposure to mould spores.
Use baking soda with water or a special cleaner. Be careful with vinegar; although effective against mould, it can damage the top cement layer of the concrete.
Having it removed
Does mould keep coming back or is it deep in the concrete? Lavos Totaal Service offers a definitive solution. Our experts remove mould thoroughly and safely, preserving your concrete surface.
With specialised equipment and extensive knowledge, we ensure long-lasting results.

The crucial thing is to keep concrete walls dry. Improve ventilation, use a concrete sealer to block moisture and maintain temperature, especially in the winter months, to lower relative humidity. These measures help prevent mould growth.
Yes, but we don't recommend it! According to reliable sources such as the RIVM and the GGD, mould can potentially cause health problems. In addition, the cause is not addressed, so mould often returns quickly.
This depends on your insurance and on the cause of the mould. Damages because of leaks or construction defects is often compensated.
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.
