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?

Mold remediation company: having pink mold removed professionally

Safe pink mold removal is a tricky job and requires skill.
Especially when the mold is more stubborn and well-known remedies such as baking soda, bleach and HG no longer work.
Pink mold is in fact often a result of an underlying problem.
Rising damp, a poorly ventilated house or leaks are common causes of mold in the home.
Pink mold removal is best left to a professional mold remediation company.
Our specialists use a clear working method to deal with the cause and the mold expertly, so that in no time you will no longer be bothered by it.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about having pink mold removed

Pink mold can be bad, depending on where it is located and what type of mold it is.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
