Mold is a Moisture Problem
Our surroundings have always included mold and only exceptional circumstances such as a clean-room can prevent it. However, perceptible mold in our indoor environments is generally acknowledged as a problem and should be removed.
Experts understand that mold is almost certainly a symptom of moisture migrating into places that are not meant to stay wet. This moisture could be from an isolated leak or from a systemic building failure. It's also alarmingly common for walls to be incorrectly constructed, allowing condensation to form inside of the wall and foster mold growth.
Unless the source of moisture is mitigated, the problem will reoccur.
