MOLD
Would you agree? Mold and Mildew is like the wet drywall. It doesn’t show its existence, until it has spread all over, and mold removal services are not cheap.
In last six months we have completed several jobs for our clients where the families were showering daily with molded ceilings and faulty exhaust fans and young kids washing hands next to the wall, full of mold. When we do bathroom renovations, and remove the drywall, we see mold everywhere. Several homeowners agreed with our assessments, that Mold can be incredibly sneaky and spread extensively before becoming visible.
Moisture is indeed the enemy! Here we have laid out a fantastic list of warning signs to watch for as a parent, homeowner, and a concerned landlord:
?Faulty Exhaust Fans: These are crucial for removing moisture-laden air after showers and baths.
?Bare Painted Drywall: In high-moisture areas like showers, tile is the preferred material to prevent moisture absorption.
?Shower Curtains vs Doors: Curtains tend to trap moisture compared to doors that allow for better air circulation.
?Clogged Drains and Dripping Faucets: Constant dampness is a breeding ground for mold.
?Discolored Grout: Black streaks signal trapped moisture and potential mold growth.
Safety First! Always wear gloves and a mask when dealing with suspected mold growth to avoid inhaling spores.
