What happened in Manitowoc
CCS handled this mold remediation job in Manitowoc on March 1, 2024, and took 30 photos that day.
The work was in a basement where drywall had been put up over wood framing and fiberglass insulation. A removed piece of drywall showed mold growing in a streak up its back side. With the drywall off, the bays behind it held damp, matted insulation, and the crew pulled it out by hand. The bottom plates and the concrete under them were covered in dust and debris from the tear-out.
Once the bays were open to the foundation wall, a gloved crew member treated the framing, the plates and the concrete with a spray bottle, bay by bay. The photos then follow the walls and the hallway with a fogger. Drywall and insulation that get wet in a basement rarely dry on their own, so removing them is usually the only way to stop the mold.
