Causes of green mould

Green mould develops due to a combination of moisture problems, poor ventilation , and neglected maintenance. Understanding these causes is key to preventing mould growth.

High humidity and poor ventilation

Spaces with high humidity, such as bathrooms or basements, are highly prone to mould growth. Without proper ventilation, moisture lingers, encouraging the development of green mould.

Moisture problems

Optrekkend vocht vanuit de basement door regen- of grondwater, en doorslaand vocht door poreuze muren en gevels, zijn belangrijke oorzaken. Dit vocht dringt de woning binnen en creëert ideale omstandigheden voor schimmel.

Neglected maintenance and leaks

Poorly maintained pipes, gutters, or appliances like washing machines can lead to leaks. These damp spots provide an excellent breeding ground for mould.

Dirty surfaces

Mould grows more quickly on dirty surfaces. Regular cleaning of your home is essential to prevent mould growth.

The consequences

Green mould can harm both your health and your property. Taking swift action is crucial to prevent further damage.

Damage to your property

Groene schimmel verspreidt zich snel en kan materialen zoals hout, beton en muren aantasten. Dit kan leiden tot verzwakking van de constructie van uw woning. Daarnaast kunnen meubels en persoonlijke bezittingen worden beschadigd.

The unpleasant odour produced by mould reduces living comfort and may discourage potential buyers, lowering your property’s value.

Possible health issues

Exposure to green mould can cause symptoms such as a sore throat, cold-like symptoms, headaches, and shortness of breath. These symptoms often occur after brief contact, but prolonged exposure can lead to serious health problems. People with sensitive airways are at greater risk.

If you experience symptoms, we recommend consulting a GP.

THE solutions!

You can choose to remove green mould yourself or seek professional treatment. Selecting the right approach depends on the severity and extent of the mould.

Removing green mould yourself

For small mould patches, you can use cleaning products available at hardware stores. Ensure proper protection by wearing a face mask, gloves, and safety goggles. This prevents inhaling mould spores and protects your skin.

Note: Removing it yourself is often only a temporary solution. Without addressing the root cause, such as moisture problems, the mould is likely to return.

Professional mould removal

For persistent or recurring green mould, professional help is the best option. Lavos Totaal Service provides thorough and lasting mould removal by tackling both the mould itself and the underlying cause.

FAQs

What are the costs?

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.

How can I recognise green mould?

Green mould can be identified by small green spores and a distinct musty smell. It often appears on wood, paper, food, and other organic materials, and is sometimes mistaken for moss.

Where can green mould be found?

Groene schimmel komt voor op muren, plafonds en diverse vochtige ruimtes in huis. Ook op etenswaren zoals kaas en brood, en in de badkamer en keuken, kan groene schimmel aanwezig zijn.

Does my insurance cover mould control?

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

Can the problem disappear on its own?

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.
