Black mould: the #1 specialist

At Lavos Totaal Service, you benefit from very competitive prices for your pest control. The exact cost depends on the application and requirements. Together with you, we will come up with a suitable cost estimate.

Black mould can be identified by black spots, a raised spongy texture, a musty smell, and an unpleasant colour. Sometimes, it can also appear white, pink, or green. In some cases, it may not be easily visible, but the musty smell can indicate its presence.

• Ensure proper ventilation (open windows and doors).
• Use mechanical ventilation or dehumidifiers if natural ventilation is lacking.
• Maintain your home well, clean gutters to prevent leaks.
• Let sufficient sunlight into your home.
• Clean up spills immediately and keep surfaces dry.

• Bathroom: Due to high humidity and warm steam.
• Basement: Often caused by flooding or leaks.
• Kitchen: From condensation during cooking and moisture from food in the fridge.
• Bedroom: Due to moisture from perspiration and breathing.
• Other areas: Window frames, walls, ceilings, floors, wood (beams), concrete (walls), meter cupboards, crawl spaces, behind furniture, curtains, and near plumbing (washing machine, dishwasher, or toilet).

This depends on your insurance and on the cause of the mould. Damages because of leaks or construction defects is often compensated.

No, black mould will never disappear on its own! While reducing moisture can slow its growth, the spores remain and can multiply again if moisture levels increase.
