Oorzaken van plafond schimmel

Mould on the ceiling is caused by high humidity, inadequate ventilation or leaks. These conditions create the perfect environment for mould growth.

High humidity caused by domestic moisture

In ruimtes zoals badkamers en keukens ontstaat vaak een hoge luchtvochtigheid door activiteiten als douchen, koken en wassen. Dit woonvocht blijft hangen en nestelt zich op plafonds en muren, waardoor schimmel eenvoudig kan groeien.

Insufficient ventilation

When a room is insufficiently ventilated, moisture cannot escape. This creates a damp environment that is ideal for mould growth. Good ventilation is essential to prevent this.

Leaks

Schimmel kan ook ontstaan door vocht dat binnendringt door lekkages, zoals een gesprongen leiding, een lekkende badkamer of dakbedekking die niet meer goed afsluit. Deze lekkages zorgen voor vochtige plekken op plafonds, wat schimmelgroei in de hand werkt.

The consequences

Mould can cause damage to your home, health problems and financial consequences. It corrodes materials, worsens respiratory complaints and can necessitate expensive repairs.

Damage to your property

Schimmelsporen kunnen muren, plafonds en vloeren beschadigen. Behang en verf kunnen loslaten, houtwerk kan gaan rotten, en vochtige plekken zorgen voor blijvende schade. Dit leidt vaak tot kostbare reparaties of de noodzaak om materialen te vervangen.

In addition, mould affects the value of your home. Damp spots and visible mould deter potential buyers and raise concerns about structural problems and additional costs.

Possible health issues

Mould spores can cause or worsen serious health problems. According to RIVM , they can aggravate respiratory complaints such as asthma and bronchitis.

Long-term exposure can cause allergies and respiratory tract irritations, especially in children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.

THE solutions!

Mould problems can be prevented by proper ventilation and quick action to deal with moisture problems. For existing mould spots, effective cleaning methods and professional help are available.

Mould prevention

Prevention is always better than cure. Keep moisture under control by ventilating daily through windows, vents or using a dehumidifier. Treat damp problems such as leaks or wet walls immediately to prevent damage and mould growth.

If natural ventilation is not sufficient, mechanical ventilation systems or moisture-extractors can provide a solution. Waterproofing external walls by impregnating or using damp-proof paint will help prevent moisture penetration.

Fighting mould

Do you already have mould in your home? You can treat small spots with detergents or home remedies such as vinegar. When doing so, use gloves and a mouth mask and avoid dry removal to avoid spreading mould spores.

Does the mould return or is the problem persistent? Our experts offer a lasting solution with professional equipment and a thorough approach.

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 ceiling mould?

Schimmels herkent u aan zwarte, witte, groene of gele vlekken met een pluizige of slijmerige textuur. Ze gaan vaak gepaard met een muffe geur en groeien op vochtige, slecht geventileerde oppervlakken.

Loose wallpaper or plaster can also indicate hidden mould. Moisture causes glue to lose and plaster to crumble, which can exacerbate mould growth.

On what type of ceilings can it occur?

Mould can develop on any type of ceiling: plastered, spackled, suspended ceilings and plasterboard. Often in damp rooms such as the bathroom, living room, kitchen or bedroom. Ensure good ventilation to prevent mould growth.

Can I cover the mould with paint?

Repainting mould is not effective as the mould grows through the paint and the problem persists. Professional treatment and addressing the underlying cause are crucial for lasting mould-free results.

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.
