My bathroom walls and ceiling keep growing mildew. How can I get rid of it?
The lack of ventilation is the number one problem associated with mildew. Bathrooms naturally generate a lot of moisture that clings to the ceiling and walls unless it is quickly vented following a bath or shower. Warm air and moisture are perfect conditions for mildew, mold, and other nasty things. An open window is not enough to remove the moisture in the room. To prevent mildew, it is essential to install a bathroom vent.
The vent needs to expel the air to the outside, not into the attic, where the moisture will only generate new problems. Installing a vent is much less expensive than potential repairs to the walls, ceiling, and possibly even the house structure.
Unfortunately in some cases, once mildew has deeply infiltrated your caulking, grout and the pourous material, it will keep coming back. Mildew can be very dangerous to your health, and you need to remove it. If that is your situation, we can remove the affected areas, and install a vent to prevent further mildew development. Also, if you plan to repaint your bathroom, use latex paint, which contains ingredients that help minimize mildew growth.
