Housing, medical complexes and production near the port — three classes of property with three different sets of requirements.
In Sarkandaugava we come out to flats in pre-war timber and masonry houses, to blocks of flats, to the ancillary premises of care and medical complexes, and to production and warehouse properties on the port side. We do mould removal, odour removal, ozone treatment and disinfection after flooding, a sewage failure or long vacancy.
These three classes differ not in method but in how the work is arranged. In a flat we agree with the owner. In an institution — with the person responsible for the premises, around the institution's routine. In a production plant — according to the site's access rules. Say in your enquiry which of the three we are dealing with.
We have no premises and no staff in the district. We travel out on request; in Riga travel is included in the price.
In the old houses here both classic mechanisms occur. In a timber structure the moisture rises from the ground through the bottom log courses and the damage starts at floor level. In a thick masonry wall the moisture accumulates and is released slowly, so the patch appears in the coldest corners and behind furniture during the heating season.
Being near the water and the port does not in itself mean the building has a problem. It only means the cellar and the basement level are worth inspecting separately from the living part. On that: mould in the cellar and after flooding.
The district has medical and care complexes. There we work with premises — ancillary rooms, corridors, washrooms, stores — and the work is planned around the institution's internal routine. We make no claims about treatment of illness and none about health effects; our work is sanitary treatment of premises.

In industrial properties the area to be treated is usually large, so we price by square metre. The typical tasks there are a smell after stored goods, damp on unheated external walls, and the state of things after a leak. Access has to be arranged in advance — many sites have their own procedure.
After a leak the sequence matters: the structure has to dry first, and only then treatment. If we treat material that is still wet, the result does not hold. We say that before the work, not after.
We work the same way in the neighbouring districts: Ciekurkalns and Vecmilgravis.
While the water keeps coming, everything else is pointless.
Wet insulation, cardboard and carpet do not dry inside a structure.
The longest stage; in thick masonry it is measured in weeks, not days.
We measure the moisture and establish how large an area really has to be treated.
We do the work and say how long the space has to stay empty and be aired.
This sequence is the same in a flat and in a production space. Only the scale differs, and how long the structure takes to dry: a thin partition dries in days, thick old masonry in weeks.
Preparation is the only part you can do yourselves and it saves time on site. Most of it is simple, but if it is left until we are already there, the work drags on.
If the property has both a residential and a working part, give both areas straight away — treating both in one call-out is simpler than in two.
We carry out sanitary treatment of premises. We do not install ventilation, we do not do waterproofing or drainage, we do not repair roofs or gutters and we do not replace rotten timber structures. If the inspection shows the cause is exactly there, we say so and do not offer treatment as the solution.
We also say when treatment is not needed at all. A smell from a dried-out trap or a blocked vent has nothing to do with growth, and it is solved without us. That is one of the commonest cases where somebody is about to pay for work that does not touch the problem.
Treatment only makes sense once the source of the moisture is known and the structure is dry. In every other case it is money for a single season.
Flats: 1-room from €55, 2-room from €65, 3-room from €75, 4-room from €85. Private houses from €95. Commercial premises by area: 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.

No. It only means the foundations, the plinth and the cellar are worth inspecting separately. Whether groundwater affects your building shows on site — from the state of the cellar in spring and from where the wall is damp. We make no general claims about a whole district.
Yes, with premises: ancillary rooms, corridors, washrooms and stores. We plan the work around the institution's internal routine, and price the area by square metre. We make no claims about treatment of illness or about health effects.
By area: 300–1000 m² is €0.70/m². Above 1000 m² we agree the figure individually. Ozone treatment €1.20/m², minimum €60. Before setting a price we need to know whether the structure is dry and whether goods remain in the space.
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.
