Causes of moulds
White mould develops due to moisture problems such as high humidity, rising damp, penetrating moisture, and neglected maintenance. It’s often a combination of these factors.
High humidity and poor ventilation
When moisture isn’t properly removed due to insufficient ventilation, it settles on walls and ceilings, creating the perfect environment for mould growth.
Rising moisture
Vooral in basements dringt grond- of regenwater gemakkelijk binnen, wat zorgt voor vochtophoping en schimmelgroei.
Penetrating moisture
Porous walls or facades allow rain or water to seep through, causing moisture problems inside the home. This is often visible on exterior walls or adjacent rooms.
Lack of maintenance
Leaks, such as faulty gutters or poorly maintained window frames, cause moisture build-up. These issues often occur in attics or less frequently accessed areas, where white mould can thrive.
The consequences
White mould can harm both your health and your property. Acting quickly is crucial to prevent further issues.
Property damage
White mould is unsightly and can damage your home. If left untreated, it spreads to other areas, potentially affecting wood, concrete, and even stored belongings.
Additionally, white mould often produces a musty smell and can deter potential buyers, reducing your property’s value.
Possible health issues
White mould can cause mild respiratory symptoms, such as sore throat, colds, and shortness of breath.
People with asthma or sensitive airways are particularly at risk. If you experience health concerns or have doubts, it’s advisable to consult a GP.

THE solutions!
You can tackle white mould yourself or hire a professional. The right approach depends on the extent and severity of the mould.
Removing white mould yourself
For small patches of mould, you can use cleaning products available online. Be sure to wear protective gear, such as a face mask, gloves, and safety goggles, to prevent irritation and inhalation of mould spores.
Without addressing the root cause, the mould is likely to return.
Professional Mould Treatment
For persistent or widespread mould issues, hiring a specialist is the best option. Lavos Totaal Service provides a professional and thorough approach, addressing both the mould and its underlying cause.

White mould resembles saltpetre deposits, but saltpetre forms due to rising damp, bacteria, and salts in groundwater. This reacts with masonry, causing a white, fluffy residue. Saltpetre increases wall dampness, which can lead to mould growth.
Witte schimmel komt voor in de woonkamer, badkamer, slaapkamer, kelder, crawl space, op zolder, op hout (zoals houten balken of platen) en op tapijten.
White mould is identifiable by its bright white colour and fluffy, thread-like texture, similar to mildew. It can be harder to spot on white walls or ceilings, and its colour may change over time.
This depends on your insurance and on the cause of the mould. Damages because of leaks or construction defects is often compensated.
No, mould never disappears on its own! While reduced moisture may slow its growth, the spores remain and can multiply again when moisture levels increase.
