A flat Zemgale town on the Lielupe and the Driksa — where water drained away slowly, drying always comes before treatment.
Premises disinfection, mould removal, odour removal, ozone treatment and treatment after flooding or a sewage incident. Properties include flats, detached houses, offices, retail units, warehouses and production floors. We travel from Riga along the A8; we have neither office nor depot in the town, and we do not pretend otherwise.
In Jelgava the job where the place genuinely changes the approach is treatment after water — a burst pipe, sewage backing up, a flooded basement or ground floor. There the order is strict and cannot be skipped: stop the source of the water first, dry the fabric second, disinfect only after that.
Treating wet material is money thrown away — the growth comes back as soon as the product has faded.
The Zemgale plain and the setting of the Lielupe and Driksa floodplains mean it is worth checking things on a specific property that would never arise on hilly ground. This is not a claim that the whole town has a damp problem — these are questions for the inspection.
A typical scenario: the water has gone from the basement, the floor looks dry, but a few weeks later a smell appears and patches show on the lower wall. The reason is usually that the surface dried out, not the material: insulation, the bottom edge of plasterboard or the floor build-up still holds water. That is why, before treatment, we measure moisture in the material rather than in the air. In more detail: treatment after flooding and mould in the basement.
And one more thing worth checking in Jelgava precisely because the ground is flat: where rainwater from the roof and the yard goes. On level ground it does not run off by itself — if a downpipe ends at the wall, year after year water soaks into the foundations at that same point.
Jelgava is a compact state city with a historic centre, apartment-block districts, detached-house areas, a university and industrial sites. In practice that means two different kinds of work.
On commercial premises we price by area, so the per-square-metre rate is lower on a large site. If you manage several properties in the town, it makes sense to combine them into one quotation and one call-out — not least because we travel from Riga.
The consequences of flooding usually do not show up at once. If the water came in spring, the first signs — a smell and dark patches on the lower wall — often only become noticeable in autumn, when the heating goes on and the room is shut up. That is confusing, because nothing new has happened at that point. What has happened is that the water left in the material has finally formed a permanently damp zone.
So after serious flooding it is worth checking the property again six months later, even if everything looked sorted. And if the same spot has been under water more than once, the question is no longer about treatment — it is about how the water gets there.
These two look alike and are dealt with in completely different ways, so we separate them at the inspection stage. Water from outside or from a burst pipe gives a patch on the lower wall or around one particular spot, it worsens after rain or after an incident, and it does not depend on the season. Condensation gives a patch in the upper corners, behind furniture and at window reveals, it appears in the heating season and fades in summer.
In practice this is checked with moisture readings at several points on the same wall: if the bottom edge is clearly wetter than the middle, water is coming from below; if the wettest point is the cold corner, it is condensation. One reading says nothing — it is the comparison that matters.
After water these two property types in Jelgava call for different approaches. In an apartment building the source is most often above you or below you, and your flat is simply where the water stopped. In a private house the source is nearly always on your own property, but it may be outside the building.
What changes the sum: the area to be treated, whether finishes — skirting, panelling, the bottom edge of plasterboard — have to come off, whether drying and a second visit are needed, and how clear the access to the affected walls is. Distance is a separate factor and has nothing to do with the property itself.
Whether the source of the water has been dealt with, how long the water stood and which materials were affected.
Moisture readings in the material — the floor build-up, the insulation, the lower walls. Inspection from €40.
If the material is wet, treatment is scheduled after drying, not instead of it.
Disinfection and, where a smell has soaked in, ozone treatment afterwards.
We tell you from what point the rooms are usable; for companies we prepare handover paperwork.
What we do not do in Jelgava: we do not lay waterproofing, install drainage, carry out building works or fit ventilation. If the inspection shows that without them the problem will recur, we say so — even when that means there is no work in it for us.
Nor do we assess the condition of load-bearing structures. If, after prolonged exposure to damp, a timber floor structure or a beam has gone soft, that is no longer a treatment question and a structural specialist is needed. If water is coming from a shared pipe or from the roof, a plumber or a roofer comes first and we come after.
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. After flooding or a sewage incident from €90.

Within Riga travel is included in the price; outside Riga there is a surcharge depending on distance. We give the exact figure once we know the address and the scope of work — naming it over the phone without an address would not be honest.
You can, but there is usually no point. If the floor build-up, the insulation or the bottom edge of plasterboard still holds water, the growth will come back. At the inspection we measure moisture in the material and tell you whether drying has to come first.
Yes. There we plan the work around the downtime window and the access rules, usually outside shift hours, and we agree it in advance — which matters all the more because we travel from Riga.
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.
