Cleaning mold from shower surfaces is an exhausting task. Because of this, showers can be subjected to improper cleaning methods that create the perfect environment for mold growth. It's worth noting that mold is a living organism, which is why just removing what is visible might not be enough to eradicate it. Most people that come into contact with mold don't even realize they are exposing themselves to serious health issues that can range from allergic reactions to respiratory problems.

A homeowner in Raleigh, NC was fully aware of the health implications of mold, which is why she was concerned about the current state of the showers in her master and guest bathrooms. She just couldn't afford any health hazards in her family home. She had tried removing the mold with store-bought products, but it would always grow back. Feeling helpless, she went online and looked for advice. She found many accounts from people who had similar problems.

In many cases, the mold had been persistent and difficult to remove because it had attached itself to the shower's joints. Most people advised hiring hard surface restoration professionals who could remove the mold and take preventive measures to avoid its return. This prompted the homeowner to search for grout cleaning in Raleigh, NC. After seeing a few video testimonials from satisfied customers and browsing our picture gallery, she called to schedule a free evaluation.

Once present, mold can spread very quickly without any visible signs of its presence. Showers and bathroom areas are especially prone to mold growth because they're exposed to high levels of moisture and often aren't properly ventilated. What most people don't know is that mold can also be a sign of issues concealed beneath the bathroom's surfaces, such as leaking pipes. Once this organic growth has been spotted, it's best to contact professionals to avoid the costly repairs that may arise over time.

A few days later, our specialist went to the client's home to perform the assessment. He noticed that the joints in both bathrooms were severely deteriorated, giving them an unhygienic appearance. Additionally, the mold had heavily stained and broken the grout lines in both showers. Our tech asked the client if she had recently cleaned the joints. She explained that she had tried cleaning them using bleach. Not only did this explain why her cleaning attempts had been unsuccessful, it also explained the state of the joints in both bathrooms.

With this in mind, our expert offered the client a two-step restoration procedure. The first step consisted of cleaning the surfaces in both bathrooms and repairing their joints. Next, he would seal the grout lines in both bathrooms using our proprietary sealant ColorSeal. This procedure would ensure the bathrooms and showers remained free from mold, and it would also make the surfaces much easier to clean. The homeowner agreed to the service and scheduled another appointment to get the job done.

On the day of the job, our expert went back to the customer's home to perform the service. He began the process by soaking the surfaces in both bathrooms with a pH-neutral cleaner. On top of being safe for tile and grout, this product contains an enhanced formula that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold, and other microorganisms. Next, our tech used a high-speed scrubber to remove the deep-seated grime and mold from the joints in both showers. To ensure the mold wouldn't come back, he also used a steam cleaner on the sections that had been heavily stained by the organic growth.

Once he finished cleaning, our specialist dried the surfaces in both bathrooms and replaced the joints that had cracked beyond repair. To finish, he sealed the grout lines in both showers using ColorSeal. This is a thick and durable sealant that protects grout against water, stains, soap, mold, and mildew. It also makes hard surfaces easier to maintain.

When he finished, our tech let the client see the results. Our client was extremely happy with the outcome. She thanked our experts for the job and said she would recommend us to anyone in need of hard surface restoration. The homeowner even took the time to leave us a glowing review on Google:

I am so happy with the job that John did on my bathroom floor and shower grout. He fixed a long-time crack in the tile floor, and he removed all of the old moldy caulk and grout in the shower and made it look new! John's office answered the phone promptly, made an appt for the free estimate, and then returned with the different color-matched grouts for the two bathrooms. I highly recommend Sir Grout Raleigh.
