One day, while showering in your bathroom, one of your tiles fell off. You get some tile grout and attempt to put it back. The tile stays in place for a couple of weeks, then it falls off again, along with a few more tiles. However, this time, you notice black mold on the wall where some tiles were glued. A few days later, the baseboard trim was becoming loose, and when you peeled it back, more mold appeared. By this time, you hire a plumber to have a closer look. When the plumber arrives, he cuts out a three-foot section of the drywall in the room opposite the shower, and the other side of the drywall is infested with mold. The plumber discovered that the plumbing had a leak that may have been going on for months.
Bathrooms are high-water activity rooms and are, therefore, prone to mold growth. However, not all bathroom mold growth is dangerous to the point that you can’t use it. Mold in bathrooms tends to grow in small quantities between tiles on the grout, caulking, and around the windows, which is not necessarily very dangerous. However, that being said, everyone reacts differently to certain mold spores, so you should still be careful. Such a situation can be addressed by simply cleaning the mold with a mild mold detergent and a nylon brush. Wear an N95 mask, latex gloves, and eye protection. But if the situation is more severe, like a pipe bursting inside the wall, causing ten or more square feet of visible mold, it is not advisable to continue spending time in that bathroom. A professional mold remediation contractor should treat the aforementioned. But before this can happen, the source of the problem needs to be fixed.
Mold testing cost
It can cost between $5,000-$10,000 to remediate mold in a bathroom, but it may even be more depending on the size and scope of work. For example, the client may request some upgrades to the bathroom in the process, but the mold remediation contractor would not perform that.
