We were called to inspect a bathroom in Winter Park after visible microbial growth was noticed around a ceiling supply vent. The space includes a glass-enclosed shower and single-sink vanity, with limited airflow typical of smaller bathrooms. Our team documented surface staining and suspected mold growth around the metal vent housing and adjacent drywall.
The pattern suggests elevated humidity combined with condensation near the HVAC supply line. We recommended testing and possible removal of affected drywall and vent trim to confirm if microbial growth extends into the cavity. Proper containment and HEPA filtration will be essential during cleaning to prevent cross-contamination.
Homeowner Tip: Run your exhaust fan for at least 20 minutes after each shower and keep vents clean to reduce moisture buildup.
