Next Phase: Remediation



This is one week after the ugly mushrooms reared their heads. Yesterday, off came the north wall of the house! The crew of 3 tore off the boards, pulled out the old insulation, and sanded, scrubbed and vacuumed the remaining mold. By the time they left at 3:30, they had re-insulated, covered everything with poly, and cleaned up!

Today, the north side was boarded back up with plywood and covered with wrap and they started the same process again on the east side.

Our mold and remodeling specialist, Paul, stopped by today to check the work. He felt reassured that they had taken the right approach because there were more mushrooms growing on the back sides of boards that they had identified as problematic. An inspector came out, as well, and was pleased with the thorough work.
