Moisture Control 101: Keep Rockland Bathrooms Fresh & Mold‑Free
Moisture is the enemy of finishes—and air quality. A smart plan for waterproofing and ventilation protects your bathroom investment and keeps the whole home healthier.
Waterproofing Where It Counts
Use a proven waterproofing system behind tile in showers, especially in niches and benches where water lingers.
Slope pans and benches correctly and seal all penetrations to prevent hidden leaks.
Vent Fans: Size, Controls, and Ducting
Choose the right CFM for room size and run ductwork to the exterior—not the attic. Timers or humidity sensors ensure proper runtime.
Quiet fans get used more often, so check the sone rating.
Grout, Caulk & Cleaning
Stain-resistant or epoxy grouts reduce maintenance. Use color-matched silicone at changes of plane (wall-to-tub, wall-to-floor).
A simple cleaning schedule keeps finishes looking new and prevents mildew growth.
Maintenance Checklist
Quarterly: clean fan cover and confirm airflow; reseal stone where required.
Annually: check caulk lines and reapply where needed; inspect around valves and fixtures for weeps.
