MOULD
We love sharing project photos but let’s take a look at one reason why we get called in to renovate a bathroom space. This particular case had a walk-in shower with some discolouration and loose tiles. To the untrained eye, it may seem like just aesthetic issues however it was also causing mould to come through the interior wall and peeling the wallpaper. We ripped out the entire bathroom as the moisture damage was not only in the shower and surrounding walls but also started into the bathroom floor.
What can cause this? Inadequate waterproofing!
Why it matters? Health Canada says mould can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, as well as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. It can also cause allergic reactions, worsen symptoms of asthma and has been linked to fatigue and headaches.
