Causes of moulds

Mould in the living room is often caused by moisture problems combined with poor ventilation. Unwanted moisture, such as rising, condensed or leaking moisture, is a common cause.

Rising moisture

In older buildings, soil moisture can migrate up the walls. This causes moisture to accumulate in the walls and creates a breeding ground for mou

Condensation moisture

Condensation moisture occurs when warm air collides with cold surfaces, for example on windows or walls. Without proper ventilation, this moisture lingers and creates mould.

Penetrating moisture

Rainwater can seep in through damaged exterior walls. This penetrating moisture often causes mould spots behind wallpaper or on walls.

Leakage moisture

Mould can be caused by leaks, even after they have been fixed. Lagging groundwater soaks into the walls, causing mould growth to continue.

The consequences

Mould in the living room can cause health issues and damage to your property. Addressing mould promptly is essential to prevent further problems.

Damage to your property

Mould in the living room is not only unpleasant due to its musty smell and unsightly spots, but it can also cause lasting damage.

The longer mould remains untreated, the harder it becomes to remove. If you plan to sell your home, the presence of mould can deter potential buyers and lower your property’s value.

Possible health issues

Mould spores can irritate the respiratory system, causing symptoms like a sore throat, coughing, and sneezing. Since the living room is a space where you spend a lot of time, prolonged exposure increases the risk of these symptoms.

The longer the mould persists, the greater the health risks become.

Removing it yourself

Planning to remove the mould yourself? Work safely to avoid health issues. Always wear a face mask and gloves to protect your respiratory system and skin. When removing mould, spores can be released, which may be harmful.

How can I identify mould?

Woonkamers schimmel herkent u aan verkleurde plekken en een muffe geur. Black Mould is zichtbaar als zwarte stippen, terwijl witte schimmel moeilijker te detecteren is maar na verloop van tijd donker kan worden. Schimmels kunnen ook groen, roze, geel of bruin zijn en ruiken vaak muf en aards. Snel handelen bij deze tekenen is cruciaal.

How can I prevent wood mould?

Prevent mould in the living room by removing excess moisture. Ventilate daily and use heating to keep the air dry. Dehumidifiers or moisture absorbers can also help. Avoid drying wet laundry in the living room. Don’t hide early signs of mould; address them immediately. Fix leaks and moisture problems promptly to prevent recurrence.

Where can it develop?

Schimmels ontstaan meestal op het plafond, muren of hoeken. Ze kunnen zich ook verstoppen achter gordijnen, kasten, radiatoren, behang, banken, en vensterbanken, en op plekken zoals tapijt en houten oppervlakken. Vaak worden ze pas laat ontdekt en is direct ingrijpen vereist.

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.
