Mold Keeps Coming Back

Here are SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Central Austin people call asking why the mold keeps coming back.   The customer will say they cleaned it up and a few weeks later the mold keeps coming back. 

It is most likely that you have an undetermined moisture issue here.  There are a lot of factors involved in figuring out what the moisture source or issue is.   Things to consider are location of the mold, how is the area used, how often is the area used, what is the area used for, what kind of materials is the area constructed of, is there pluming in the wall of the area, is the area a common wall with exterior of the home. 

Some common issues we have seen is a leak from the exterior of the house where a sprinkler sprays the house and leaks in just a little bit every day.  Not enough to cause a wet spot but enough for the mold to grow well.   Same results from leaking plumbing that just drips a little. 

Another example is a high humidity situation from a bathroom without enough ventilation.  Building materials that don't breath can also make these situations more difficult. 

If you have any questions regarding Mold Remediation don't hesitate to give us a call and we will be happy to assist you.
