Residential blocks and working port infrastructure side by side — here the access rules matter as much as the method.
In Vecmilgravis we come out to flats in panel-block estates, to low-rise housing, and to warehouse, production and port premises by the Milgravis canal. We carry out mould removal, odour removal, ozone treatment and treatment after flooding, a sewage failure or long vacancy.
These two sides differ in how the enquiry works. In a flat we agree with the owner and price by the number of rooms. At a port or warehouse property we price by area, and before the trip the access procedure has to be established — many sites have their own.
We have no premises and no staff in the district. We travel out on request; in Riga travel is included in the price.
In a flat we do not look for the middle of the patch — we look for the coolest surface in the room. Condensation always settles where a wall or a corner is cooler than the rest of the space, so the damage appears in external wall corners, behind a cupboard and at the window reveals. That is a mechanism, not chance.
In low-rise housing the floor and the underfloor void are added to the question: whether there is a ventilated space under the floor and whether its openings have been boxed in. In more detail: mould on walls, mould in window frames, flat.
At port and warehouse properties the areas are large and the price is calculated per square metre. In practice, though, something else matters most: how we get in and how long the space can stand empty. Both have to be established before the trip.

In a flat and in a warehouse alike, after a burst pipe or a roof leak the sequence is the same, and this is where mistakes are most often made. There is no point treating wet material: the growth will come back once everything else has dried, and the work will have to be repeated.
While the water keeps coming, everything else is pointless.
Wet insulation, cardboard and carpet do not dry inside a structure — better to take them out.
This is the longest stage; in a thick wall it is measured in weeks, not days.
We measure the moisture in the wall 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.
If the inspection shows that treatment is not needed — for example, the smell comes from a dried-out trap or a lack of draught — we say so and do not sell the job. Next door we also work in Sarkandaugava.
Preparation is the only part of the job you can do yourselves, and it directly determines how long we are on site. In a flat it takes half an hour, in a warehouse a little longer.
If there are several properties at one address — a residential part and a working space — give both areas straight away. Treating both in one call-out is simpler than in two separate trips.
We carry out sanitary treatment of premises. We do not install ventilation or heat recovery, we do not do waterproofing or drainage, we do not repair roofs or gutters and we do not replace failed structures. If the inspection shows the cause is there, we say so and do not offer treatment as the solution.
If the source of the moisture stays as it is, treatment is a half-solution with a limited shelf life. We say that before the work, not after.
In a block of flats not every smell and not every patch of damp arises where it is felt. A shared ventilation stack connects several flats; if the draught is reversed or blocked somewhere, air from another space can reach you. In the same way the cellar and the stairwell are common property, and their condition affects the ground floor.
If the source is in the common property, the conversation is simpler through the building manager: for property managers. On the specific case: smells from neighbours.
The price list is the same for all of Riga, but the final figure for the same area differs. What sets it is the type of property and the condition of the structure, not the address — travel within Riga is included in the price.
| Circumstance | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Type of property | A flat is priced by the number of rooms, a house from €95, a warehouse or port space per square metre. |
| Whether finishes come off | If the growth is under panelling, wallpaper or skirting, the area to be treated is larger than the visible patch. |
| Whether the structure is dry | We do not treat a wet wall — it has to dry first. That can mean a second visit. |
| Access and the working window | The pass procedure and the hours available set how much we get through in one session. |
At port and warehouse properties one more circumstance is added: how long the space can stand empty. If the window is short, less can be done in one session and the work may have to be split over two visits. We agree that in advance, not on site.
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.

Not if you mention it in the enquiry. We need to know the registration procedure, who will meet us and where we can drive in. It does not affect the price, but unarranged access can mean a wasted trip.
Because that is the coolest surface in the room, and moisture from the air condenses on whatever is coolest. External wall corners, the space behind a cupboard and window reveals are the typical spots. At an inspection we look for the coldest point, not the middle of the patch.
As long as it takes the structure to dry; in a thick wall that is measured in weeks. There is no point treating wet material, because the problem comes back. At the inspection we measure the moisture and say whether work can start.
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.
