Bathroom Mold Remediation, Water Damage Drying & Drywall Reconstruction

The homeowner initially contacted us because of bubbling paint and damaged drywall around the bathtub. During inspection, visible mold was found near the tub area, and moisture testing confirmed elevated moisture inside the affected wall.

After opening the damaged section, we discovered that the problem was more extensive than it appeared from the surface. Significant hidden mold growth was present behind the drywall and inside the wall cavity.

The affected water-damaged drywall and compromised materials were removed to expose the framing and allow proper remediation. The exposed areas were cleaned and treated with professional mold remediation products, and drying equipment was installed to reduce moisture and prepare the structure for reconstruction.

Throughout the drying process, moisture levels were monitored to confirm that the affected framing and surrounding materials were drying properly before the wall was closed. Once the remediation and drying process was complete, the damaged wall area was reconstructed. New drywall was installed, finished, textured, primed, and painted to restore the bathroom to a clean and finished condition.

Visible bubbling, peeling paint, soft drywall, discoloration, or mold growth around a bathtub or shower can sometimes indicate a larger moisture problem hidden behind the wall. Addressing the source early can help reduce the risk of further mold growth, structural deterioration, and more extensive repair costs.
