Bathroom Mould
[June 25, 2003]
Q.
I have a bath with black all around the tub and underneath the caulking.
I have removed and cleaned twice and it keeps coming back. Now that I have
read all the side effects to mould, I think I might have an allergy to it.
Is there someone in the St. Louis area that is in the "mould business"? Also
does your do it yourself test kits include the dangerous black mould test?
A. You may have a water leak
INSIDE your bathroom wall or floor that enables the mould to
grow and to keep re-appearing. Alternatively or in addition to a
water intrusion problem, you may also have too high a humidity
in the bathroom [above 60% humidity level enables mould to
grow], thus enabling mould to grow.. During and after tub baths
and showers, you should be running an exhaust fan that exhausts
the humid bathroom air directly to the outside. Be sure your
bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans exhaust air directly to the
outside and NOT [as is frequently found] into wall cavities,
floor cavities, the attic, the basement, or into a crawl space.
Exhaust fans can put large amounts of moisture-laden air into
such areas, and thus cause serious mould growth and problems.
You may mould growth INSIDE or BEHIND your bathroom walls,
ceilings, and walls, in which you will need to locate and to
remove such bathroom moldy building materials, treat the cleaned
out areas with antimicrobial coating. You can read all about
mould inspection, mould testing, and removing bathroom mould on
the how to, informative pages of
Mould section
and Mould
Inspector site. Our do it yourself mould test kits with our
expert mould laboratory analysis can collect mould samples for
accurate mould identification of all types of mould species,
including black mould [Stachybotrys mould]. Visit:
