Recurring mold is usually evidence that the moisture condition was never corrected or that affected material remains in the assembly.
Cleaning changes the surface, not the building condition
Paint, bleach and household cleaners may change visible staining without drying wet insulation, repairing a plumbing leak, correcting crawl-space humidity or removing materially contaminated drywall.
Follow the moisture path
Look at leaks, condensation, humidity, drainage, roof entry, plumbing and materials that remained wet after a water loss. The visible patch may not be the beginning of the problem.
When remediation becomes appropriate
Professional remediation may be appropriate when porous materials are contaminated, hidden assemblies are affected, visible growth returns, or controlled removal is needed in an occupied property.
