One district holds both flats and warehouses and production units — and in a commercial property the work is planned by square metres and opening hours, not by rooms.
Ziepniekkalns is a large district in southern Pardaugava where housing estates and detached houses border warehousing, production and retail sites. So the enquiries here divide into two clearly different groups: homes and commercial properties. We do the same work for both, but we plan it in completely different ways.
We have no premises and no permanent staff on the ground. We travel out on request and agree a day; in Riga travel is included in the price, and we do not promise an arrival time to the minute.
In a home the price is set by the number of rooms. In a commercial property — by square metres and by how long the space can be left out of use.
In a large, high space the logic of moisture and odour differs from a flat. The air volume is large, heating is often partial or seasonal, and temperature swings are faster. So at the inspection we ask first not about the patch but about the operating regime.
If material has already got wet after a leak or flooding, treatment only makes sense once it has dried. There is nothing to treat on a wet structure, and we say so before the work, not after. See warehouse treatment and after flooding.
In a commercial property the main constraint is not the method but the downtime. After treatment the space has to stay empty for a while and then be aired, so it makes sense to plan the work outside working hours or at the weekend.
Prices: up to 100 m² €1.20/m², 100–300 m² €0.90/m², 300–1000 m² €0.70/m². For office space see office treatment, for catering — restaurant premises.
In the residential part the tasks are different. In a flat in a series-built block we start with the ventilation grille and the external wall surfaces; in a detached house we start outside — from the gutters, the downpipes and the ground around the foundations.
A common case in a flat is sealed windows with no trickle vent: the old windows let air in through the gaps and the stack drew it out, but after replacement the supply disappears and the draught stops. Technically nothing is damaged — half the system has simply gone.
The courtyards in the district are wide, and buildings tend to stand deep inside them. Give the block number in your enquiry and say where we can stop with the equipment — that saves time on site. More: treatment of a flat, private house, mould removal.
Some enquiries are not about mould at all. There is a smell in the space but no visible patch — and then the first job is to find the source, not to spray a product.
Once the source has been dealt with and the smell is still in the materials, ozone treatment is the right method — €1.20/m², minimum €60. More: odour removal.
In a flat the season changes the amount of moisture in the room. In an unheated or partly heated warehouse it changes something else — the temperature of the surfaces relative to the outside air, and it is that difference that produces condensation.
In winter everything is cold: the walls, the steelwork, the goods against the external wall. Moisture settles where warmer air comes in — at the loading doors and the entrance. In summer, when it warms up sharply outside, the floor and the lower part of the wall stay cold and the wet appears there. In both cases treatment removes the effect; the regime is changed by heating and ventilation.
In a warehouse the heating and ventilation regime has to be known first. Only then is there any point discussing the area to be treated.
In the residential part of Ziepniekkalns both types of property sit side by side, and the work in them is not the same in length or in preparation.
Flats: 1-room from €55, 2-room from €65, 3-room from €75, 4-room from €85. Private houses 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.

For an area of 300–1000 m² the rate is €0.70/m². If it is only mould treatment in a particular zone, we calculate the area to be treated from €1.50/m² with a minimum from €80. We give an exact figure once we have a description of the space or after an inspection.
Yes. In commercial properties we usually plan the work outside working hours, because after treatment the space has to stay empty for a while and then be aired. We give that time in advance so it can be planned for.
Treatment removes the growth but not the cause. If the space is not heated and there is no air exchange, the condensation will come back. It is worth sorting out the heating regime and the ventilation first, especially in the loading-door zone where the temperature swings most.
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.
