Mould isn’t just unsightly—it’s hazardous to your health and damaging to your home. While many homeowners remove visible mould, few realise that without proper treatment and prevention, it will likely return. That’s where mould remediation services come in.
At Reztor, we specialise in professional mould remediation and long-term prevention strategies. In this guide, we’ll share expert insights on what causes mould to come back, and how to stop it from recurring—protecting both your property and your wellbeing.
Why Mould Comes Back: The Root of the Problem
Mould grows in environments with excess moisture, poor ventilation, and organic material to feed on. Common causes of recurrence include:
- Incomplete removal of mould spores
- Residual moisture in walls or subfloors
- Ongoing leaks or humidity issues
- Poor airflow in areas like bathrooms, basements, and laundries
Professional mould remediation services address not just the surface growth, but also these underlying issues—ensuring a lasting solution.
Step 1: Thorough Professional Removal
One of the key mistakes homeowners make is attempting DIY mould removal. While you might remove the visible signs, microscopic spores can remain and quickly spread when conditions are right.
Reztor’s mould remediation services include:
- Inspection and air sampling
- Containment of affected areas
- HEPA-filtered air scrubbing
- Antifungal treatment of surfaces
- Moisture mapping to find hidden damp zones
By removing mould at the source and correcting the cause, we help prevent it from returning.
Step 2: Manage Indoor Humidity
Humidity above 60% creates the perfect environment for mould to thrive. To control indoor humidity:
- Use dehumidifiers in problem areas
- Ensure your home has adequate ventilation (especially in bathrooms and kitchens)
- Install exhaust fans where necessary
- Use air conditioning to regulate indoor moisture levels during humid months
Reztor can advise on moisture control equipment and offer long-term dehumidification solutions as part of our remediation service.
Step 3: Fix Leaks & Water Damage Fast
Mould often grows behind walls, under floors, and inside ceilings after a water event like:
- Leaking roofs
- Burst pipes
- Flooding
- Bathroom overflows
Any water damage should be addressed immediately. Reztor offers complete water damage restoration and structural drying services to stop mould before it starts.
Step 4: Improve Airflow Throughout Your Home
Poor air circulation traps moisture in enclosed spaces. You can improve airflow by:
- Keeping internal doors open
- Using ceiling and pedestal fans
- Avoiding clutter near walls
- Venting dryers and heaters to the outside
Our team can also assess problem areas and recommend ventilation improvements based on your home’s layout.
Step 5: Use Mould-Resistant Products
During renovations or repairs, use mould-resistant materials, such as:
- Moisture-resistant plasterboard
- Anti-mould paint for high-humidity areas
- Waterproof membranes in wet zones
Reztor can provide guidance on best-practice building materials if you’re looking to future-proof your property.
