Signs to Check in Playhouse District Homes

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.

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.
