Have you discovered mold in your bathroom? When excess moisture begins to collect, mold can often follow. It’s not only unsightly, but can become a serious health hazard for you and your family and can lead to major repairs down the road if not addressed. While mold can grow as a result of the moisture-rich environment of many bathrooms, it can also occur as evidence of a hidden water line leak.
You may need to contact a mold remediation professional to eradicate mold from your bathroom if it has become particularly severe. Still, cleaning the affected areas is just the first step and provides only a temporary fix. Mold has a tendency to spread quickly and deep below surfaces. If you find mold recurring in your bathroom, it’s time to contact your local plumber to schedule an assessment for possible bathroom plumbing repairs to address any leaks or sources of moisture. When this problem has been addressed, only then will you be able to remove mold permanently.
Your local plumber can re-tile or replace the grout in your infested shower, replace batheroom fixtures that are leaking and inspect your plumbing for hidden moisture sources in order to get your bathroom back “up to code.” Recurring mold can become a very real danger to your health and that of your family, which is why it’s so important to find the root of mold growth. With the assistance of a licensed and reputable plumbing professional in your area, you can find the source of unwanted moisture and eliminate it to prevent future mold growth.
