Saving a Home Sale: How Claro Resolved Mold in a Brentwood Bathroom

In Brentwood, a family preparing to sell their home ran into an unexpected obstacle: mold on the bathroom ceilings. The house was already under contract, and the discovery threatened to derail the sale. The buyers were understandably concerned, and the sellers worried that what seemed like a small issue could quickly become a deal-breaker.

Claro was called in to investigate, and the inspection and testing revealed that the problem ran deeper than just surface mold. The original construction had been subpar, contributing to recurring moisture issues in the bathroom. To truly resolve the situation, a cosmetic fix wouldn’t be enough. Claro’s team developed a plan that addressed both the visible mold and the underlying vulnerabilities that had allowed it to grow. Check out how bad these before tests were in the bathroom.

The remediation involved removing and replacing the affected drywall with mold-resistant drywall designed to hold up in high-moisture environments. Two coats of specialized mold primer were applied to ensure long-term protection, and the treatment extended beyond the bathroom to multiple rooms throughout the home. By combining targeted demolition with their proven mold treatment process, Claro provided a solution that went beyond quick fixes and delivered lasting results.

The outcome was exactly what the sellers needed. Post-treatment inspections confirmed that the mold was gone, the buyers were satisfied, and the home sale moved forward without further complications. For the sellers, Claro’s work not only salvaged the deal but also gave them the confidence that they were passing along a safe, healthy home. In their words, the process was seamless, professional, and worth every penny.
