Framed Ceiling Mold Cover Up
Here's a really big no-no in home remodeling.
Someone is building a drop ceiling under the existing ceiling and as you
can see there is plenty of mold growing on the wallpaper and ceiling.
Once you cover up the mold in a dark damp place, guess what happens. The
mold will continue to grow and eventually start to damage your new
ceiling.
Some homeowners get the bright idea for a simple solution to repair
something and have no idea that they are creating a bigger problem in
the future.
Never built anything over damaged building materials. These building
materials should be removed and replaced, to prevent more problems down
the road.
I don't think I will ever be shocked, with what I've seen and repaired
over the years in the remodeling business. Stuff like this always seems
to amaze me and every once in a while I get to meet the person who built
it.
Yes you bet your life, I ask them why and what they were thinking but do
so politely. I'm not interested in hurting anyone's feelings, simply
because they did know any better.
