A bathroom remodel can uncover more than outdated tile or old plumbing. For one Felton homeowner, tearing out an existing shower revealed a hidden problem: microbial growth on the surrounding wood framing. The discovery meant the renovation had to pause while the issue was properly addressed. That’s when the homeowner reached out to The Restoration Group for mold remediation Felton DE residents can depend on.
Our technicians understood that time was critical. Mold left untreated can spread quickly, especially in a space that had already been exposed to moisture from years of shower use. We moved fast to inspect the area, confirm the scope of the problem, and begin treatment before the remodel could safely continue.
Once the shower was removed, the homeowner noticed visible growth on the wood framing behind the fixture. Rather than attempt to handle it themselves, they contacted our team right away. This is one of the most common ways mold gets discovered during a bathroom remodel Felton DE homeowners take on, since demolition often exposes areas that have stayed hidden for years.
Our technicians performed a full inspection of the exposed framing. Using our assessment process, we identified an MSI 2-3 (Mold Severity Index) rating in the areas surrounding the former shower location. This rating helped us determine the right scope of work and the specific remediation steps needed to safely resolve the contamination.
Before any cleaning began, we placed the work area under negative air pressure. This step helps keep spores from spreading to unaffected parts of the home during the remediation process. Our team then used HEPA vacuuming to remove loose surface growth from the wood framing.
With loose growth removed, we moved into our two-part React and Extract cleaning process. First, we applied an oxygen-based prep solution to the affected surfaces and allowed it to sit, giving it time to actively break down the embedded soil load. Next, we applied our oxygen-based reactive solution, which causes a foaming chemical reaction that lifts soil and residue from deep within the wood grain.
Once the foaming reaction completed its work, our technicians wiped down the treated surfaces until they were clean and free of visible microbial growth. We then let our air filtration equipment continue running in the space to help treat the surrounding air, giving the homeowner confidence that the area was ready for their remodel to resume.
This Felton homeowner was in the middle of a bathroom remodel when removing the old shower revealed mold on the wood framing behind it. Our team performed an inspection, identified an MSI 2-3 rating, and placed the space under negative air before HEPA vacuuming the affected surfaces. From there, we used our two-part React and Extract cleaning process to break down and lift the embedded soil load.
Once the surfaces were wiped clean and free of visible growth, we ran air filtration equipment to treat the surrounding air. The homeowner was able to move forward with their bathroom remodel knowing the mold had been properly addressed.
