When I walk into a home with visible mold, the first thing I often hear is, “Can’t I just bleach it?” I understand why. Bleach looks like it works right away. The surface stain lightens, the smell fades for a little while, and it feels like the problem is solved. The truth is that bleach doesn’t reach the root system. The mold continues to grow inside the material, hidden from view, until it shows up again. That’s why the same spot often reappears. Professional mold remediation goes deeper. It removes the contaminated material, it treats the affected area, and it addresses the moisture source so the mold does not return.
