A town along two rivers, on wooded and hilly ground, with a large share of older summer houses and detached homes.
Mould removal, odour removal, premises disinfection and ozone treatment in flats, houses, summer houses and commercial units. Ogre is very much a commuter town — many properties are lived in but empty during the day, and in practice that helps: the empty window treatment needs is usually easier to find here than in the city centre.
We travel from Riga along the A6. We have no office and no crew in Ogre. We plan the call-out around the address and the scope of work, and we state the distance surcharge before we set off.
Ogre stretches along the Daugava and the Ogre river, the ground is hilly and wooded, and the town's layout is linear — access to the northern and southern parts differs. For a specific property that yields a few concrete things to check, rather than a claim that the whole town has a damp problem.
If the damp comes from the ground, treatment removes the growth but not the cause. We do not lay waterproofing or install drainage; if the inspection shows that without them the result will be short-lived, we say so plainly. More on the mechanism: causes of mould and mould in the basement.
If the patch is on one wall only, and it is the wall set into the slope or facing north, the cause is almost never in the room's air.
Around Ogre there is a substantial share of older garden houses and summer houses. Such buildings typically have shallow foundations, a ventilated sub-floor and timber structures that take up moisture and give it back slowly. If the house stands unheated over winter, the indoor air does not move and condensation settles on the coldest surfaces.
For this property type: summer house treatment, long-vacant premises and ozone treatment where a smell has soaked in.
From October to March the windows are shut and the heating is on. Moisture from cooking, showering and drying laundry stays in the rooms and condenses on the coldest surfaces — usually the corners of external walls and the space behind furniture. One load of laundry dried in a room with the windows closed releases a considerable amount of water, and it has nowhere to go.
That is exactly why the same house can look perfectly dry in summer and show patches in winter. If the patch disappears in summer and returns in winter, it is almost certainly condensation rather than a leak — and then the answer starts with ventilation and moving furniture away from the walls, not with treatment. We say that too, even when it means there is no work in it for us.
A situation typical of Ogre: a house is bought or rented in winter, and the first spring shows what winter concealed. If you are buying an older house, it is worth looking at the basement, the sub-floor and the north façade before the deal, not just the living rooms. Traces of damp there tell you far more than a freshly painted wall on the living floor.
In flats in Ogre the logic is the same as in any apartment building: the ventilation is shared, so a smell can arrive from another flat or from the basement, and then treatment in your flat will clear what has already soaked in but not the transfer. We say that honestly before the work.
Building type, floor area, which rooms are affected and how long the problem has been there.
Moisture readings, a draught check, a look at the basement or the sub-floor. From €40.
We establish whether this is condensation, groundwater or a leak — the answer differs in each case.
We use a method that suits the material and the way the space is used.
We tell you when the space can be used and what to change so the problem does not return.
If several properties along the Ogre–Ikskile corridor need inspecting at the same time, it makes sense to gather them into one call-out. That helps both the schedule and the distance surcharge.
In Ogre's detached-house and garden-house areas most of the time usually goes not on the treatment itself but on getting to the affected places. If that is prepared in advance, the whole job fits into one journey — and that matters, because we travel from Riga and coming back the same day is usually not practical.
Nobody is in the rooms during treatment. How long they stay out of use depends on the method and the area: usually from a few hours to half a day, plus airing afterwards. We give the specific figure before the work so it can be planned around, rather than discovered on the morning.
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 pages: Salaspils and Riga. All prices →
Yes, including the surrounding area and the Ogre–Ikskile corridor. We calculate the distance surcharge from the address; if several properties in the same direction need inspecting at once, we combine them into one call-out.
Treatment takes the growth off the surfaces, but if water is pressing in from the ground it is a half-solution with a limited shelf life. We say so plainly at the inspection. We do not lay waterproofing or install drainage — those are building works.
In spring, when the rooms can be opened fully and there is time for drying before treatment. In mid-summer, with people and belongings in the house, the work is harder to organise and the result is less complete.
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.
