What Causes Mold in Condo?
Condominium Mold Problems and
High Indoor
Humidity
Q. I live in a 2 story
condominium in NC. In my upstairs 2 story hallway which was painted last
year, I have developed mold in a corner over a door & over another door
(where a heat/ac vent is behind the wall). I had this problem prior to
painting but hoped the new paint would eliminate the problem. I suspected
this may have something to do with my duct system which is located in this
vicinity coming from the attic area. I have been advised by a
heat/ac professional who looked at the problem prior to painting to
re-wrap the vents in the attic which he believes will help this problem,
but I was not sure if this was the answer. The wall was painted with good
quality yellow paint & I do not want to do anything to damage the color.
Is there any kind of solution I can use to remove the mold & present
further damage? Or should I proceed with re-wrapping the attic vents?
The mold is only in these two areas & no where else on the wall. [Aug.

You need to look for more fundamental, underlying causes of your
condominium infestation
problem. You need to find the high indoor
humidity problem [50 to 60% or higher indoor humidity some or all of
the year], roof leak, or plumbing leak that makes the mold
growth possible your condominium. You need to find and remove
all mold growth that may be hidden inside your
condominium heating and
cooling equipment and ducts or elsewhere [such as inside
ceilings, walls, and floors]. Your first step is to mold test
the air of each room of your
home,
attic,
basement, and
crawl
space, plus the outward air flow out of each heating/cooling
duct register for the possible presence of elevated levels of airborne mold
spores, which, if present, would indicate a possible serious mold problem,
especially when compared to the mold test results of your outdoor mold
control test.
