What happened in Chilton
CCS answered this call in Chilton on May 20, 2024, and took 27 photos over the next few days.
The problem was in a small basement storage room with a concrete ceiling, painted block walls and wood shelving along one side. The ceiling and the upper walls were covered in dark mold spotting, heaviest in the corners and along the joint between the ceiling and the walls, with a small window at one end. The crew also checked outside along the front of the house, above the room.
A dehumidifier was set up in the room to pull the moisture out of the air, and the shelving was photographed from each end. On May 24 the crew returned to check the room again. Storage rooms like this are often built under a front porch or steps, with a concrete slab for a ceiling, and rain soaking through that slab keeps the room damp.
