Causes of floor mould

Mould on floors is caused by moisture (leaks, flooding or high humidity) combined with poor ventilation. This keeps the floor wet, making it the ultimate breeding ground for mould.

Moisture problems

Vocht is de grootste veroorzaker van schimmelvorming op vloeren. In ruimtes zoals badkamers, keukens of basements, waar de luchtvochtigheid vaak hoog is, kan condensatie zich ophopen.

This moisture soaks into floors and creates a breeding ground for mould. Even small amounts of moisture, such as spilt water that is not cleaned properly, can cause problems.

Insufficient ventilation

Poor air circulation prevents moisture from evaporating, leaving floors damp. Lack of natural ventilation, such as open windows or doors, or the absence of a mechanical ventilation system makes the problem worse. Without these facilities, floors do not dry, and mould gets free rein.

Flooding

Waterlogging due to leaks or flooding is another common cause. This can occur due to defects in pipes, problems in building construction or leaks from higher floors.

When water stays on a floor for a long period of time, it soaks into the material and mould develops.

The consequences

Schimmel op vloeren kan ernstige gevolgen hebben. Het tast uw woning aan (aantasting van hout and beton, constructieschade) en is schadelijk voor uw gezondheid (luchtwegklachten). Wacht niet te lang met bestrijden!

Damage to your property

Mould affects floors, walls and the overall structure of your home. Wooden floors can develop wood rot, where the wood crumbles or disintegrates. Concrete floors are at risk of concrete rot, with cracks and crumbling.

In addition, mould quickly spreads through your home, which can damage the condition and value of your home. Furniture and upholstery can also be affected by mould.

Possible health issues

Inhaling mould spores can cause respiratory irritation, shortness of breath and throat discomfort.

People with asthma or a weakened immune system are at extra risk. Prolonged exposure worsens these symptoms and can be harmful to your health.

THE solutions!

You can remove mould on floors yourself or have it tackled by a professional. It is important to choose the right approach depending on the extent and severity of the mould.

Removing it yourself

For small areas of mould, you can do it yourself, provided you take safety measures. Wear gloves, a mask and goggles to avoid irritations and health problems.

Use a detergent or bleach solution, let it soak in and remove the mould with a cloth. For stubborn stains, a brush with firm bristles can help.

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 floor mould?

Let op verkleurde plekken zoals zwart of groen, een muffe geur, krakende of kromtrekkende vloerplanken, watervlekken en gezondheidsklachten zoals hoofdpijn of ademhalingsproblemen.

Mould can also be under floorboards, on floor joists, under carpets, on the subfloor or under the doormat. Extra vigilance is needed after floods or water leaks.

How can I prevent wood mould?

Prevent floor moulds by keeping floors dry and cleaning up quickly. Clean regularly by vacuuming and mopping. Floor insulation helps as cold floors are more prone to mould. Keep humidity down with ventilation or a dehumidifier. Air the house regularly, especially in the cold months.

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.
