HIDDEN MOISTURE
Mold Behind Walls
A concealed leak or past water event can leave wall cavities damp even when the room surface looks relatively normal.
Clues worth investigating
Persistent musty odors, water stains, softened wallboard, peeling finishes or a known plumbing or roof leak can justify a closer moisture investigation.
Avoid unnecessary demolition
Opening walls without first understanding the likely water source and affected area can create unnecessary disruption. The right next step depends on the building history and current moisture conditions.
