Marietta, GA – MoldStar Remediation has released a new blog post that sheds light on a common but often overlooked source of bathroom mold: plumbing problems. The article, titled "Is Mold in the Bathroom? It Might Be Your Plumbing’s Fault", explains how hidden leaks, faulty pipes, and poor water drainage can lead to persistent mold growth in bathrooms, even after repeated cleaning.
In this detailed and accessible piece, MoldStar Remediation offers homeowners practical guidance on spotting the warning signs of plumbing-related mold and explains why timely inspection and repair are essential. The blog makes it clear that mold issues in bathrooms often have deeper causes than surface moisture, and these causes can create ongoing problems if not addressed at their root.
Alex Laldin, Marketing Director for MoldStar Remediation, emphasized the importance of homeowner awareness. “Many people assume bathroom mold is only the result of poor ventilation or excess humidity from showers. While those factors play a role, the real problem often starts behind the walls or under the floor,” Laldin explained. “A small leak can go unnoticed for months, providing a perfect environment for mold to thrive. By the time visible signs appear, the mold growth may already be extensive.”
The blog post breaks down how plumbing issues contribute to mold formation, including the ways slow leaks saturate hidden areas and how damaged seals around fixtures can let water seep into walls and flooring. It also outlines the health and structural risks that come from delaying repairs. According to Laldin, “Ignoring the signs not only puts your property at risk but can also affect your health. Mold can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other symptoms, especially for those with existing health conditions. Acting quickly is always the best choice.”
The MoldStar Remediation team encourages homeowners to schedule professional mold inspections when they suspect a problem. The blog stresses that addressing mold properly requires more than cleaning the surface. Without fixing the underlying plumbing issue, the mold will almost certainly return. Laldin added, “We often get calls from people who have tried bleach or over-the-counter mold removers, only for the mold to reappear. That’s because the moisture source is still there. Until that’s resolved, you’re just treating the symptom, not the cause.”
The blog also provides insight into how homeowners can take preventive steps to avoid plumbing-related mold in the first place. This includes regularly checking under sinks, around tubs, and behind toilets for any signs of water damage. It also recommends routine plumbing maintenance to catch small problems before they escalate into costly repairs. Laldin pointed out, “Prevention is always less expensive than remediation. Being proactive about plumbing maintenance can save you from the headache of major mold damage down the road.”
