Black Mould

Black is the most common type of mould. It is easy to identify by the black spots on walls and ceilings.

This mould usually develops due to moisture problems combined with poor ventilation. Leaks and flooding can exacerbate the issue. 

White mould

White mould is recognisable by its pure white colour and its fluffy, thread-like appearance. This type of mould is often difficult to detect.

It typically arises from moisture problems, such as high humidity, rising damp, penetrating damp, and neglected maintenance.

Brown Mould

Brown mould is identified by its stains and fluffy appearance. It is sometimes mistaken for black mould due to its dark tone. 

It develops from a combination of moisture problems, poor ventilation, and insufficient maintenance. Brown mould often settles on wood, walls, and ceilings.

Yellow Mould

Yellow mould appears as patches with a fluffy or thread-like texture. It is often confused with pollen.

It is caused by moisture issues, poor ventilation, and a lack of natural light, all of which encourage mould growth.

Green Mould

Green mould is commonly found on food, such as cheese and bread, but it can also appear in bathrooms and kitchens.

This mould often develops due to a combination of moisture problems, poor ventilation, and neglected maintenance. 

Orange Mould

Orange mould is not an uncommon occurrence in homes. It can be identified by its spongy and slimy texture.

Moisture problems, poor ventilation, insufficient maintenance, and a lack of sunlight are often the underlying causes of this mould problem.

Pink Mould

Pink mould, often described as orange or red, has a fluffy and slimy appearance. Technically, this is considered a type of bacteria rather than mould.

It forms due to a combination of moisture, poor ventilation, and the buildup of dirt and grime. 

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.

Can I remove moulds myself?

We do not recommend it! According to reliable sources such as the RIVM and the GGD, moulds can potentially cause health problems. In addition, the cause is not addressed, so mould often returns quickly.

Does my insurance cover mould control?

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.

Can the problem disappear on its own?

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.

Can I simply paint over mould spots?

Painting over mould spots does not solve the problem. The mould will often grow through the paint, and the spores will remain active. The root cause of the mould must be addressed first.
