When we can’t treat a home:
Situations that need addressing

Claro is designed to safely and naturally purify your home of mold, VOCs, and odors. But like any treatment, success depends on more than the process alone. Think of it like planting a seed: the seed is powerful, but it needs the right soil, water, and sunlight to grow. Similarly, Claro treatment needs the right home environment to deliver lasting results.

Below are the most common issues that can prevent treatment from holding as effectively as it should, and how to address them.

Root Cause Moisture Issues

How air tests are done

Mold can’t survive without moisture. If the underlying source of water isn’t fixed, mold will eventually come back, no matter what treatment you use.

Common culprits include:
- Roof leaks that let rain in unnoticed
- Water leaks from plumbing or fixtures
- Leaking pipes inside walls or under floors
- Improper drainage around the foundation

Fixing these moisture pathways ensures Claro treatment lasts.

HVAC systems and air circulation

How air tests are done

Your HVAC system plays a huge role in air quality. If it isn’t working correctly, spores and pollutants can spread even after treatment.

Watch out for:
- Dirty or clogged filters that re-circulate contaminants
- Units that haven’t been serviced in years
- Improper airflow that creates humid “pockets” inside the home

Prior to getting Claro's treatment be sure to have your HVAC serviced and replace the filter.

Humidity issues

How air tests are done

Indoor humidity is one of the most overlooked factors in mold recurrence. If your home stays too humid, not only will the treatment be less effective, mold will have the conditions it needs to grow again.

Here is what we suggest for humidity
- Ideally, indoor humidity should be in the 40s or 50s
- Anything higher can let mold creep back in
- Running a dehumidifier is often the simplest and most effective prevention step

Claro treatment is powerful, but it isn’t complete magic. It’s designed to work in harmony with your home’s environment. When leaks are fixed, humidity is controlled, and air systems are maintained, Claro can keep your home clean, fresh, and healthy for the long term.
