Bathroom from

moldy and crumbling

to clean and beautiful

It’s not unusual for a bathroom to develop mold over time. Showers and Baths create a lot of humidity. It’s good to keep on top of it and elminate it anytime its seen. That being said sometimes it can be difficult to get around to cleaning it all up, or sometimes we are too busy to get rid of it, and it can get out of control over time. This is one such example of Whistle Clean Restoring a bathroom from hazard to safe.

A bathroom shower area with white tiled walls, an uninstalled shower head, and a window with a view of snow and trees outside.

As you can see Mold was growing both on the tile itself, as well as near the edge of the window.

The inside of the window sill had alot of mold growing in it due to the dark conditions, and the ease for moisture to get stuck in that spot

A black metal corner shower caddy hanging on the wall next to a frosted window in a bathroom. The wall has some dirt and stains, and the tiles are white with a decorative border near the ceiling.

Additionally, the grout itself was growing mold, and certain high contact areas had more mold growth then other areas of the shower

Ceiling vent with cracks and water damage on the ceiling around it.

This is an advanced issue that can develop from mold growth

As a high circulation area, the bathroom vent moves alot of moist air out of the space. Unfortunately the person who had installed this vent didnt seal it up properly and some of this moist airflow was able to get inbetween the sheets.

This is whats known as DRY WALL BUBBLING

Ceiling with a hole and exposed electrical wiring, surrounded by damaged drywall with patches of black mold or dirt.

Mold grew in the sheet of drywall, causing it to seperate its internal sheets, with one half still attached to the ceiling beams, and the other half being pressed away for the mold to create a space for itself.

Just a light pressure was all it took to knock off most of this drywall, something that could easily have turned into a falling hazard had it been left for a few more months.

The Fix

Ceiling with a square opening revealing an exhaust fan, surrounded by cracked and damaged drywall, in a room with a door, mirror, and light fixtures.

After all the mold in the bathroom was exposed, it was throughly clean and the space ventilated out.

The longterm moisture exposure to the beams near the vent fan caused the wood to warp and droop down about 3/4”. In order to save the customer some money it was opted to level out the hole’s gap difference with the remaining drywall as opposed to a full replacement.

A bathroom with tiled walls, a window, a bathtub, a toilet, a mirror with a light, and a cleaning mop leaning against the wall.

A small patch of mudding was applied above the mirror, as it was inline with the roof fracture.

The entire bathroom was thoroughly cleaned of all mold, as well many stains in the grout were lightened in the process.

Part of a bathroom wall with white tiles and a black hook, empty, with a sloped ceiling.

A layer of mold proof paint was put all over the walls above the tile, and on the ceiling. This makes it more difficult to mold to grow in this moist space in the future.
