This Hillside District, Burbank guide is written for a district, not a entire city, so it sticks to what applies inside these streets and the homes on them. In Hillside District, Burbank, damp in one home can matter to the neighbours too, especially where walls, floors or ceilings are shared.

Signs to Check in Hillside District Homes
Mold in Hillside District shows the same signs as anywhere else — but it is easy to miss in a busy household. Visible growth on a wall or ceiling, a damp patch, a musty smell, or mold after a leak are the signs that matter. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
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. The visit looks for the cause — the source of the damp and the rooms and materials it has reached — and the work is planned from what is found, because a repair made without finding the cause is a repair that comes back. If you have just moved in, check under sinks, around toilets and behind washing machines first: mold is often found in the first weeks in a new home.
