What started as minor repair of tile turned out to be a full-blown mold and mildew abatement and bathroom remodeling project for this homeowner.

Due to improper building techniques by the previous builder, the relatively new remodel job was failing — water leaked behind shower and tub tile, inadequate substrate was used and a construction screw actually penetrated a water supply pipe.

As the tile was removed, black mold was discovered. After BWB employed code-approved mold abatement techniques on some of the wood, homeowners made the call to tear out and rebuild the tub surround and shower area.
