What happened in Little Suamico
This Little Suamico bathroom had black mold in a wall corner and behind the wall, close to the exhaust fan. CCS inspected it in August 2022 after the homeowner found us on Google.
The bathroom fan duct and housing were full of dust and staining, a sign that moist air wasn't leaving the house the way it should. When the wall was opened, the stud bay next to the corner had dark growth on the framing and the back of the drywall. The crew cut out the damaged section, cleaned and treated the studs, and opened the ceiling to check where the duct ran.
The last photos show the bathroom finished, with the walls closed up. A bath fan that vents properly to the outside, and gets run for 20 minutes after a shower, does more to prevent this than anything else.
