Professional pink mold removal?: Contact within 24 hours for mold control!
Pink mold is the most common mold in the home, alongside black mold and white mold.
Yet pink mold is slightly different from black and white mold.
Pink mold is officially not a mold at all, but a bacterium.
The scientific name of this one is: ‘Serratia marcescens,’ and is a microorganism found in moist environments.
In addition, pink mold has a somewhat fluffy and slime-like structure.
Should it be a small spot, you can remove it by yourself just fine.
However, we do recommend wearing the appropriate protective equipment.
If the damage is already done and the spot is significant, it is better to leave it to a specialist to have the pink mold removed.
This way, you can be sure that it will be done in a safe and sustainable way.
So, do you have pink mold in your home and would like to have it removed and controlled by an expert?
Do not wait, but contact Van der Velden Oniertebestrijding.

Tim came to me to fight bedbugs. He is so kind and very knowledgeable. He really reassured me and explained everything well. I’m sure my home is in good hands! Hopefully I won’t have to use him again 😉 but I can only recommend him or the pest control company Van der Velden.

Fantastic service!!! Brandon came on time and worked back to back. Left everything nice and clean. Found a dead mouse after 5 days, no trouble at all. Can recommend this to everyone. Van der Velden and especially Brandon, thank you so much. Merry Christmas and happy and healthy 2024.

Great service and workmanship by Tim.
I could never have controlled the infestation on my own.
He has honor in his work and does not rest until the last mouse is gone.
He even helped me vacuum under the kitchen counter because I couldn’t do it myself.
Very satisfied

What is pink mold?
Do you suffer from a musty smell, see a strange fluffy and somewhat slimy texture in your bathroom, and is it a pink or red color?
Then chances are you are suffering from pink mold in your home.
So pink mold is a bacterium and the big difference between the two is the number of cells.
A bacterium is a cell with one organism and a fungus can be single or multicellular.
Pink mold occurs in most cases in the bathroom such as the walls or the shower curtain (if you still have it).
Yet it can also occur in other damp places such as basements.
Why do I get pink mold?
Every home has mold.
This is due to the spores of mold that blow in through windows and doors.
However, you can prevent mold (including pink mold) from settling in your space.
Handle the following steps to prevent it, because prevention is better than fighting it:
- Check your home for any leaks and bad window frames: these two factors are causes that allow pink mold to settle in your home.
- Poorly ventilated rooms: moisture must be allowed to escape from your home.
You can easily do this by opening a window after showering.
What does it cost to have pink mold removed?
The final cost of pink mold remediation depends on the specific circumstances.
Are you suffering from mold?
If so, please be sure to contact us and we will discuss the situation together.
Based on the information you give us, we can give you an indication of the costs.
That way you know immediately where you stand.
However, there may be extra costs for mold removal.
This may be due to the (unforeseen) damage caused by the pink mold.
You can think about the damage to wooden structures or the excessive moisture in the walls.
Fortunately, this almost never happens, and when it does, we’ll discuss the options and costs together carefully first.
When do I need a pink mold remediation specialist?
Often you can sense when you need a specialist to remove the pink mold or when you can get started yourself with fungicides you can buy in stores.
When it is just a small infected spot, you can fight it yourself just fine.
However, we do recommend always protecting yourself.
When removing pink mold, wear goggles, gloves and other protective clothing.
In addition, always follow the package insert and make sure children cannot reach it.
Has the fungus already grown so bad, as shown in one of the photos on this page?
Then you’d better call in a specialist, such as Bestrijdingsdienst.nl.
Please note that we fight this mold only in the central Netherlands.
Contact us and in most cases you will have an appointment within 24 hours!

Frequently asked questions about having pink mold removed
-
In bathrooms or damp areas: pink mold is common in bathrooms, usually as a slimy layer on tiles, shower curtains, or other damp surfaces.
This pink mold is often caused by bacteria such as Serratia marcescens rather than true fungi.
This bacteria can be potentially harmful, especially to people with weakened immune systems, as it can cause respiratory problems or urinary tract infections. -
On food: pink mold on food can be dangerous to consume.
It indicates spoilage, and the mold can produce toxins that are harmful to health.
It is important to throw away moldy food. -
On walls or wood: pink mold on walls, wood, or other construction materials can indicate moisture problems.
While pink mold itself is not always dangerous, it may be a sign of underlying moisture problems that can lead to more serious fungal infections, such as black mold(Stachybotrys chartarum), which does pose health risks.
