so your saying a solution of clorox won't kill mold. and fresh dry air
won't stop it from growing?


Not exactly. Chlorox is NOT made to kill molds. Have you ever sprayed
it on a basement wall or a closet where mold grows? Notice how it
seems to keep showing up? Obviously, Chlorox is not a permanent
solution. And remember, some molds are harmless. Others will KILL you.
Dry air may help but a key to getting rid of mold is air changes.
Insulate that house and plug all those holes and you have the same
nasty air to breed mold. That's why HRV's (Heat Recovery Ventilators)
and ERV's (Energy Recovery Ventilators) are becoming so popular and
being installed in new homes. To ventilate and/or change the air in
the home.

I was under the impression the OP got mold in his basement was because
of a flood? How can mold continue to grow once the moisture is gone?
Your logic seems to be that a simple spore got into his house and grew.
Hmph...

If one has a leaky roof, and the drywall ceiling is damaged, gets mold,
the roof is fixed, and the damaged drywall replaced, how can the mold
come back?
