I had a mildew problem in my basement and cured it by putting in a dehumidifier and keeping the humidity at 50%. This won't help Dottore's drain problem, of course. In researching my problem I learned that bleach on porous surfaces like latex wall paint and wood won't permanently kill the stuff. The mycelium (roots) bore into the material deeper than you can get with any cleaner and it will come back. Dry ice blasting was recommended as a permanent solution.
