Have noticed a clump of mold/black powder outside our bedroom window. This week noticed a black powdery residue behind the floor board in our bedroom. House was flooded 4 1/2' in August 2007 but had clean up and make sure everything was dry and treated before enclosing. Would like a confirmation and an estimate that it is mold and how much it would cost to completely remove.

The bathroom has the most perfect conditions for the growth of mold and mildew. It's always wet, and damp, and the air in the bathroom is always humid. Mold spores thrive in an environment like this. Before long, you will notice those black marks on your shower, bath tub, floors, and wall tiles. Using household cleaners mixed with bleach is not the solution. Scrubbing with a brush also doesn't help -- this isn't grime, and therefore is immune to scrubbing. Only a bathroom mold removal service can get the mold of your tub and shower and out of your life.
You can prevent the growth of mold and mildew in the bathroom by taking care to ventilate the air inside the bathroom. Use an exhaust fan to recycle air inside the bathroom. The exhaust should release stale air outside into the open and not into the attic; otherwise you'll find that mold spores are released back into the attic! Leave bathroom doors open when they are not being used -- this will help air circulation. Keep the floors always clean and dry, and mop away any puddles of water that can cause dampness in the air.
If you notice mold contamination in your bathroom, don't attempt to remove it on your own. Mold spores can be highly toxic, besides being common allergens that cause respiratory problems.
