They sold the home and then we were hired to work for them and might not have ever found this problem, but we were removing the exterior stucco and installing new siding. Once we removed the stucco we noticed that the bathroom was suffering from wood rot, mold and water damage. This damaged wood floor joist needed to be replaced.
