That black mold around your shower isn't just ugly—it's a sign of moisture problems that won't go away with bleach. We identify why mold keeps coming back and fix it permanently.
If you live in the Old West End, Ottawa Hills, Point Place, or anywhere in Toledo, you know our humid summers and older homes make bathroom mold a common problem. Many homes in Sylvania, Perrysburg, and Maumee have bathrooms from the 60s, 70s, and 80s—before modern ventilation codes.
We've helped hundreds of homeowners across Lucas County and Wood County solve stubborn mold problems that bleach and painting couldn't fix. From ranch homes in Holland to historic houses in Downtown Toledo, we know what causes mold in Northwest Ohio bathrooms.
Our crew lives and works here—we're not a franchise sending strangers to your home. When you call, you talk to real local contractors who understand Toledo construction, not a call center.
Serving all of Lucas County, Wood County & Monroe County, MI

If you're noticing any of these warning signs, you likely have a moisture problem that's feeding mold growth
Dark spots on grout, caulk, or ceiling that keep coming back no matter how much you clean
That damp, earthy odor that hits you when you walk into the bathroom—especially after showers
Bubbling, peeling, or warping on walls and ceiling—a sure sign of moisture trapped behind surfaces
Sneezing, coughing, or irritated eyes that get worse when you're home—mold spores affect air quality
Mirror stays foggy for a long time, bathroom takes forever to dry out after showers
Drywall that feels soft to the touch—this means water damage and likely mold behind the wall
Sound familiar? These problems won't fix themselves—and they get worse (and more expensive) over time.
Most people try bleach, mold sprays, or even painting over it. That's treating symptoms, not the cause.

Modern, mold-resistant bathroom
Our humid summers and older homes create perfect conditions for bathroom mold. Here's what we see most often:
No exhaust fan, weak fan, or fan vented into the attic instead of outside
Failed caulk, cracked grout, or deteriorating shower pan letting water behind walls
Slow drips under sinks, behind toilets, or in walls feeding mold growth
Homes built before modern codes—no vapor barriers, paper-faced drywall in wet areas

"Had black mold around our shower for years—tried everything. Just Ask came out, found a leak behind the wall we didn't know about, fixed the source and rebuilt it. No more mold, finally!"
Mike R.
Toledo, OH (Old West End)
"Our bathroom smelled musty for months. They found mold inside the wall and under the subfloor near the tub. Completely gutted it, treated everything, rebuilt better than original. Worth every penny."
Sarah T.
Sylvania, OH
"Previous contractor just painted over the mold (we didn't know). Just Ask did it the right way—removed all affected drywall, treated the studs, installed a proper exhaust fan. Finally fixed for good."
