Newer suburban stock in wooded, low-lying country near the lower Gauja — two opposite sources of damp in one place.
We carry out premises disinfection, mould removal, odour removal and ozone treatment. Properties include detached and terraced houses, flats in newer developments, commercial units and public buildings. We travel from Riga along the A1; we have no base of our own in Adazi.
Adazi's building stock is mostly newer than in the older towns of the region, and that changes where an inspection starts. In a new house a failed structure is rarer, and a ventilation regime that does not match how tightly the building was put up is more common.
In Adazi one property can present two completely different causes of damp, and telling them apart matters, because the answers are opposites.
So at an inspection we measure moisture in the material at several points and compare them against one another — one reading says nothing. The mechanism in more detail: causes of mould; the property type: private house.
If the patch appears in the heating season high in a corner, it is condensation; if it appears low down after rain, water is coming from outside.
If the house was built a few years ago, it is also worth establishing whether the roof space is ventilated and whether condensation has built up on the rafter timber. It is noticed late, because people rarely go up there, and that is exactly why we look at it during an inspection.
Around Adazi there is wooded and low-lying country, lakes and the proximity of the lower Gauja. For a specific property that yields practical questions — not a claim that the whole area has a damp problem.
If the house stands empty or barely heated through autumn and spring, the indoor air does not move and a smell soaks into textiles and soft furniture. Cleaning surfaces will not help then — you need treatment that reaches into the material, followed by ozone treatment in an empty space. On long-closed properties: long-vacant premises.
In the suburbs a share of properties are lived in only part of the year, or stand empty between tenants and sales. An empty, barely heated house behaves differently: the air does not move, the temperature swings, and condensation settles in the corners of unused rooms and behind furniture. The smell in such a house has soaked into the material, not the air.
If a house is going to stand empty over winter, it is worth leaving a low but constant background heat and providing at least minimal air exchange — that is cheaper than dealing with the consequences in spring. If that has not happened, the rooms have to be opened and dried before treatment; on wet material treatment is short-lived. The best moment for the work is when the house is empty and there is time to air it afterwards.
One more thing to check: whether the ground around the house has been finished. If the yard has not yet been levelled and rainwater collects at the foundations, the result is exactly the same as a broken downpipe — only the reason is different and cheaper to put right.
In a tightly built house ventilation is not an extra convenience but the only route by which damp leaves a room. So in Adazi's newer stock we inspect it separately and specifically, rather than ticking it off as present or absent.
If it turns out the system has never been commissioned, or has been off for a long time, treatment will remove the growth but the damp will still have nowhere to go. We say that before the work, not after.
Adazi as a town and the wider municipality are not the same service area. The town's building stock is compact, but the municipality also takes in rural, forest and coastal-facing areas towards Carnikava and Kadaga. We travel there too, but the distance surcharge is higher than in the town, and the approach conditions can differ.
Name the specific place in the municipality and whether the approach is hard-surfaced.
For a new and an older building the inspection starts from different points.
Moisture readings at several points, a draught check, a look at the basement and the roof space.
We choose the method by the material and by how the space is used.
We say when the rooms are usable and what to change so the problem does not return.
What we do not do: we do not fit insulation, repair roofs and gutters, install drainage or lay waterproofing. If an inspection shows those are the real answer, we say so — even when it means there is no work in it for us.
One-room flat from €55, two-room from €65, three-room from €75, four-room from €85, private house from €95. Commercial premises up to 100 m² €1.20/m², 100–300 m² €0.90/m², 300–1000 m² €0.70/m². Mould: inspection from €40, treatment from €1.50/m², minimum from €80. Ozone treatment €1.20/m², minimum €60.
Within Riga travel is included in the price; outside Riga a surcharge applies by distance. Nearest page: Riga. All prices →
Yes, including towards Kadaga and Carnikava. The price for the work is the same; what differs is the distance surcharge outside Riga, which is higher for a more distant address. We give the exact figure once we know the address.
Usually two things have to be separated: construction moisture and the ventilation regime on one side, water from the ground or the roof gutters on the other. They are told apart by where and when the patch appears. At the inspection we take moisture readings at several points and say whether treatment is needed now at all.
Depending on the method and the area the rooms are out of use from a few hours to half a day, plus airing. We agree a specific time window before setting off; we do not promise arrival within a set number of minutes, because traffic loads on the A1 corridor vary.
Describe the situation — we will tell you whether treatment is needed at all, and which one.
Fill in the form — we will call you on the number you provide, ask a few clarifying questions and propose a solution.
Thank you! We will contact you on the phone number you provided shortly.
