Causes of moulds
Moulds are mainly created by moisture in combination with poor ventilation. This could be due to residential behaviour, such as long showers or drying laundry indoors, or to problems in the home, such as leaks or construction defects.
Moisture and poor ventilation
Schimmels kunnen niet overleven zonder vocht. Woonvocht, zoals damp van koken, douchen of ademen, blijft in huis hangen als ventilatie onvoldoende is. Dit leidt tot vochtophoping en uiteindelijk tot schimmelvorming op muren, plafonds and vloeren.
Residential behaviour
Habits such as long showers, drying wet laundry inside or not ventilating rooms properly contribute to moisture problems. Too low a temperature in the house, say below 16 degrees, also makes mould growth more likely.
The state of the property
In addition to living habits, construction problemssuch as leaks, poor insulation or construction errors can be the cause. Older homes or buildings with a history of mold problems are extra vulnerable.
By improving ventilation, fixing leaks and taking living behaviour into account, you can help prevent mould!
The consequences
Schimmels kunnen uw woning ernstig beschadigen en leiden tot kosten voor herstel of waardevermindering. Daarnaast kunnen ze mogelijk gezondheidsklachten veroorzaken, zoals luchtwegproblemen of allergieën.
Consequences for your home
Mould spores attack materials in the home, such as walls, ceilings and floors. Without treatment, mould spreads, leading to damage and expensive repair costs.
In severe cases, structures can weaken, resulting in safety risks and depreciation of your home's value.
Mould also gives off a musty smell and unhygienic appearance, reducing the enjoyment of living.
Possible health issues
Health complaints such as sore throats, coughs and allergic reactions are also common.
According to the RIVM and the GGD moulds can be especially harmful to people with existing respiratory problems. Besides the damage, moulds often bring an unsanitary appearance and an unpleasant odour.
THE solutions!
You can try to remove mould yourself by ventilating well, cleaning damp surfaces and using a moisture absorber. For a definitive approach, however, it is wise to call in a specialist.
Although you can treat small areas with cleaning products, this often does not address the cause of the mould. A specialist, such as Lavos Totaal Service, offers an effective solution by not only removing the mould, but also addressing the source of the problem.
Professional methods include treating the affected surfaces, improving ventilation and applying damp-proofing techniques. This ensures a permanently mould-free and healthy living environment.

Moulds usually grow in rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms, basements and kitchens. They often settle on walls, ceilings and floors. Poorly ventilated areas are particularly prone to mould growth.
We do not 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.
Yes, but we do not recommend this! Before you paint over it, it is important that the mould has been treated and removed. Do you not do this? Then the mould will quickly come back and go through the paint.
Prevent mould by ventilating well every day, heating the air and drying damp areas such as shower walls and floors immediately. Preferably dry wet laundry outside and use a dehumidifier for extra protection if necessary.
Schimmel is vaak zichtbaar als zwarte, groene of witte vlekken op muren, plafonds en andere oppervlakken. Het kan ook een muffe geur veroorzaken, vooral in vochtige ruimtes zoals badkamers of kelders.
No, mould does not disappear on its own! Although less moisture can slow growth, the spores remain present and can multiply again with an increase in moisture.
Mould can be recognised by black spots, a bulged sponge-like shape, a musty smell and a dirty colour. Sometimes the fungus can also be white, pink or green. Sometimes it is hardly noticeable to the eye and you can recognise the spores by the musty smell.
Moisture and mould are not always directly responsible for health problems, but they can worsen asthma and other respiratory symptoms. A damp home can lead to sore throats, sneezing, coughing, stuffy nose, wheezing and shortness of breath.
