In Reply to: OT Mold on wall posted by super99 on December 25, 2010 at 19:02:27:
I'm a remodeling contractor and I see allot of mold problems in old and new houses.
Mold can indeed cause severe health issues, especially with prolonged exposure.
IF the mold was growing inside the wall and penetrated the drywall to the point that it's visable on the interior simply washing and painting will not cure the problem. It will simply return.
Often mold just grows on the interior surface. When this happens it can usually be taken care of by using a solution of water, bleach, and TSP (a granular cleaner found in the paint department of most home improvement stores). Once the area is washed and has had a chance to dry, use a product like Kilz to prime it. Then paint it with a finish coat. If you buy paint from a source like MAB or Sherwin Williams you can get them to add an anti-mold additive to the paint when they mix it. The box stores don't offer that product.
To keep the mold from forming again watch the humidity level, and ventilation like others have said. Keeping furniture 3 or 4 inches away from the outside walls will promote better ventilation.
