CASE STUDY
Bathroom Mold Removal in Parker, Colorado
How Alpha Restoration Helped a Parker, Colorado Home With Mold That Had Been Spreading for Over a Year
Overview
When a homeowner in Parker, CO noticed lingering odors and discoloration in their master bathroom, our inspection revealed a serious hidden issue: mold growth caused by a poor installation that had been ongoing for over a year.
What looked like a beautiful stone-tiled bathroom concealed moisture damage and microbial contamination beneath the surface. Without proper containment and remediation, this situation could have escalated into major structural damage and indoor air quality concerns.
The Situation
Hidden Mold in Plain Sight
From the surface, the bathroom looked well-kept, but behind the walls and subfloor we discovered:
Widespread mold growth under and around the bathtub
Water intrusion from poor installation that persisted for over 12 months
Compromised wood framing showing signs of moisture damage
Health risks from mold spores spreading into adjacent spaces
These conditions highlight why mold can so easily go unnoticed — until a professional inspection exposes the hidden damage.
Containment & Safety
We used thermal imaging and pin/pinless meters to map hidden moisture beneath tile and in the subfloor.
Built clean, professional containment zones around the affected bathroom
Installed negative air machines with HEPA filtration
Used PPE to protect both homeowners and our team
Demolition & Removal
Removed contaminated materials (drywall, subfloor, and framing sections)
Exposed hidden pockets of mold under the bathtub area
Cleaning & Treatment
HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial application
Wipe-down and scrubbing of framing and structural components
Ensured mold spore counts were reduced to safe levels
Before & After Results
Before
Hidden Mold Discovered Beneath the Bathtub
When our team first inspected the bathroom, the space appeared normal from the surface. However, once materials were opened up, it became clear the mold problem had been developing for more than a year. Behind the tile, under the bathtub, and even within the wood framing, we found extensive microbial growth caused by moisture trapped from a poor installation. This hidden mold had spread silently, weakening structural components and posing serious risks to air quality. Without professional intervention, the problem could have escalated into a full-scale health and safety hazard for the homeowner.
After
Containment and Removal complete - Bathroom Restored to a Safe Condition
Through a carefully planned remediation process, Alpha Restoration eliminated all traces of mold contamination. Our team built professional IICRC-standard containments, removed affected materials, and cleaned every exposed surface with HEPA filtration and antimicrobial treatments. By the end of the project, the bathroom was completely clean, dry, and safe for use. The homeowner could move forward confidently knowing that the mold was not just covered up but fully remediated at the source, restoring both the property’s integrity and their peace of mind.
