Job completed for Garage Ceiling Mold Remediation and Containment Cleanup

A Chapin, SC homeowner called Kingsley water damage & Fire cleanup after spotting dark mold growth spreading across the drywall ceiling of their attached garage. They wanted the moldy ceiling removed and the framing above it cleaned and treated the right way, without spreading spores to the rest of the home or the crawl space.

The photo shows the garage set up for mold remediation: the concrete floor covered wall to wall in heavy black poly sheeting, clear plastic containment wrapped around the storage shelving, and an air scrubber with its lay-flat exhaust duct run out under the partly raised garage door so filtered air is pushed outside. With containment in place, our technicians removed the moldy ceiling drywall and the insulation above it, bagging the debris inside the work area.

With the ceiling open, the team worked from ladders in respirators to HEPA vacuum the exposed ceiling joists, rafters and roof decking, then wiped and treated the wood framing with a plant-based antimicrobial. The ductwork and wiring running through the space were cleaned around, and the crawl space under the home was also checked and treated where needed. The air scrubber ran throughout the demo and cleaning to capture airborne spores.

Homeowner takeaway: spots on a garage ceiling usually mean moisture and growth above the drywall too, so the framing should be cleaned, not just painted over.
