Bathroom Ceiling Mold Issue
Hello BP Community,
I was informed yesterday about a ceiling mold issue in the first floor bathroom's shower. The second floor bathroom is stacked above it. I was hoping to get suggestions and/or contractor referral in the Fitchburg area on how to address the issue. Should I call a GC, mold specialist, or plumber? I believe that the shower in the second floor bathroom is causing water damage and creating the mold in the first floor bathroom ceiling, which may require removing the first floor bathroom ceiling. I greatly appreciate your help or suggestions.
Thanks,
Irving

The first step is stopping the leak. The second is to remove/replace the Sheetrock. A mold specialist will cost you and arm and a leg and likely recommend unnecessary repairs.
