Mould often comes back a few weeks after a cleaning, because cleaning treats the mark and not the cause. Fixtures & Fittings Services - Benelux assesses restoration work after examining what is feeding the defect.
Cleaned, it comes back
The scenario repeats itself: the stain disappears with bleach, then reappears in the same place. That return is useful information in itself: it shows a cause is still at work. Note where it comes back, in which season and in which room.
Condensation, leak or damp in the wall?
These three situations look alike on a photo but do not call for the same work. The observations to prepare: the location (corner, bottom of the wall, behind furniture), condensation on the windows, the state of the wall under the stain. They guide the assessment without establishing the cause at a distance.
Preparing the assessment
- overall photos of the room and of each affected zone;
- how old the problem is and which cleanings have already been done;
- recent work: windows, roof, neighbouring bathroom.
Finding the cause comes before cleaning and repainting; the assessment determines whether a leak or a waterproofing defect must be treated first, and by whom.
