Signs to Check in Hancock Park Homes

Visible growth on a wall or ceiling, a damp patch, a musty smell, or mold after a leak are the signs that matter.

Signs alone are not proof of the cause. A damp patch can come from a roof leak as well as a pipe leak, and mold can grow out of sight behind a wall or under a floor.
