Signs to Check in New Model Colony Homes
Mold in New Model Colony shows the same signs as anywhere else β 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 β the source of the damp and the rooms and materials it has reached β 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.
