New
home in first year warranty has tiles coming up in the handicap shower stall
with seat.
There are signs of mold and moisture on the
framing materials behind the new framed seat, the floor decking under the seat
and appears to go under the tile mud base in the pan. A small amount of contamination on the
framing appeared minimal and the tile grout outside the shower curb showed
signs of moisture. The curb is exposed
and has a couple of rusted nails to the front, and is an indication of long
term moisture and is questionable. Moisture
had puddle under this area on the vapor barrier in the crawl space.
All
aspects of remediation were preformed; removal of all contaminated materials,
spraying oxidizing solution to eliminate spores that embed themselves into the
materials, utilizing air sanitizers to clean the air and a final cleaning to
remove any spores that will settle as dust during this process. The shower seat had not been properly
installed, and even with detailed instructions this shower was rebuilt the same
as the original application, needless to say this voided the warranty and
remediation had to be redone and was completed the second time May 7,
2008. The tiled shower looked great but
due to the improper construction under the tile it just did not work either
time.
Final lab reports indicate no elevated levels exists after completion in both cases.
