Case Study: Mold Removal In a Church
Mold in any building can be a bad omen, but in this church it was a sign that there was an issue with the roofing ventilation system. Seen in this first image, the mold was found at the apex of the ceiling, on the drywall around the ceiling beams. Further inspection by Paul Davis Restoration of The Tri-State Area – Cincinnati NKY was when the ventilation issue was discovered. Up until that time, the roof had been re-done with a metal roof, which was assumed to take care of the problem. The ceiling was repainted, but he mold returned.
To determine the full extent of the issue, Paul Davis Restoration removed a section of the roof to get a closer look. It became clear that the damage to materials was extensive, and would require replacing portions of wood, fiberglass insulation, as well as drywall.
Wherever mold grew, Paul Davis Restoration began the process of removing and replacing everything.
The end result: complete and thorough mold removal, and a place of worship more beautiful than ever!
This last photo shows the new solar-powered ventilation system that will help prevent any moisture build-up beneath the metal roofing, eliminating the future threat of mold damage to the structure.
