We had a homeowner request us look at a drywall issue he is having with a concern that he may have a serious problem. The location of the problem is on the ceiling of his lanai.
Upon inspection, the taped joints and seams along the lengths and edges of the drywall are mildewing. The drywall is textured and painted. The lania has screened openings and a common roof with the main portion of the dwelling, so open to mositure / humidity is always present.
What is going on? Why is mildew only occuring along the tape seams and not any other surface of the drywall. Any comments are appreciated.
