Bath Remodel Risks: Black Mold

Black mold is a common name for Stachybotrys chartarum, and it can pose a major risk to those performing a bath remodel. It’s one of the most toxic molds because it can grow in households and is extremely dangerous to humans.  It’s very common for mold to be found in bathrooms. One obvious reason why is that there is a lot of stream, humidity and water in the bathroom. If mold has begun to grow in your bathroom you need to remove it immediately.

There are several cleaning products that can work in the removal of black mold such as Bleach, Borax, Vinegar & Ammonia. Often times though mold can be difficult to remove especially when it is embedded in grout. Areas in which you cannot remove the mold may need to be replaced. The scariest part of black mold is what you can not see and clean. If your shower or tub has a leak, it is very important that you get it inspected. We do give FREE consultations and would be happy to come out and look at your problem areas.
