What happened in Suamico
CCS inspected this basement in Suamico as a free mold assessment, with photos from May 1 and September 5, 2025, and 22 photos in all. The owner received a written estimate for remediation.
The basement is in a newer home, with insulated foundation walls, some new framed walls, an open ceiling and steel posts. On the first visit the crew photographed the OSB rim board and subfloor between the joists, which showed dark spotting, and a stud against the foundation.
On the second visit the photos cover the whole basement: the framed walls by the stairs, the long open side, belongings wrapped in plastic, and the joist bays and rim board up close with spotting on the OSB. A dehumidifier was running, and a thermo-hygrometer reading was taken of the basement air. In new construction, lumber that got wet before the house was closed in can grow mold once it is sealed in a cool, damp basement.
