Mold can hide where you least expect - Toledo, OH
Wells Environmental was contacted after a local property owner began to remodel one of his investment properties. A roof leak had penetrated the ceiling on the second floor and continued through the floor into the dining room. There was very little mold visible in two of the upstairs bedroom and dining room, however once the plaster ceiling had been demolished, substantial mold was identified between the two floors. A good portion of the flooring, floor joists and wood lathe in the ceiling were heavily impacted. We removed all of the wood lathe, treated the remaining floor joists and spot treated a few of the areas throughout the upstairs. Just to be sure, all of the areas were fogged with an anti-fungal encapsulant.
In less than eight hours, the property was turned back over to the owner to continue his renovations!
