Reasons Mold Might Keep Coming Back

Why Is Mold Coming Back?

You have already dealt with the green and black mold monster that lurked in your basement, but for some reason, it has returned with a vengeance. What should you do? Why is it back? Despite what some removal services will have you believe, mold is never truly gone. The tiny microscopic spores can never be entirely eliminated. However, with proper removal and maintenance, you should not have to deal with a full infestation again. Although, if that happens, then there are several reasons why.

Failed Remediation
Unresolved Issue
Poor Ventilation
High Humidity

Failed Remediation

Mold remediation is a skill, and any companies offering this service should hold the appropriate licensing and certifications required by your state. Unfortunately, there are many duplicitous operations out there, and it is possible that they failed to clean your home appropriately. Therefore, if you need further mold removal, call a reputable home restoration service in Maple Grove, MN

Unresolved Issue

If you did not hire a professional for your mold cleanup, then it is possible that you did not remedy the situation. Sure, you might have removed every visible speck of mold, but if you didn't find or fix the water leak or humidity problem, then mold will probably reappear in the same area as before.

Poor Ventilation

Perhaps you did hire a reputable company, and you did resolve the root cause of the original black mold infestation. The new mold growth may be just that, new. If your home is not adequately ventilated, then areas like the bathroom, kitchen and laundry room can become humid and filled with excess moisture, providing a habitat for mold.

High Humidity

Also, regardless of ventilation, if your home has a humidity problem, then it is conducive to mold growth. Therefore, invest in several dehumidifiers to try and control the moisture levels in your home.
Common and black mold thrives in moist, humid and dark environments. The best way to eliminate perpetual mold growth is to reduce and control the elements that make your home habitable to spores.
