When Ariel began replacing flooring in her 1,800-square-foot Murfreesboro home, contractors uncovered a long-term leak beneath the shower. The faulty installation had allowed moisture to spread quietly for years, creating visible mold and high airborne levels that made the home unlivable during repairs.
Testing confirmed Chaetomium mold and elevated counts typical of chronic leaks. Once the damaged flooring and shower materials were removed, Claro was brought in by referral to restore the air and structure.
Our team cleaned the exposed joists and framing, then applied our non-toxic dry fog treatment throughout the entire home. The process neutralized remaining mold particles in the air and on surfaces without harsh chemicals or demolition beyond what was already required.
After treatment, the space tested clean, and Ariel was able to move back home comfortably. Cases like this show how a proper moisture fix paired with Claro’s whole-home treatment can bring a safe, healthy environment back after hidden water damage.
