What to Look For
Pay attention to the moisture history as much as the visible surface. Past leaks, damp building materials, recurring odors, condensation, and staining can all help explain why mold developed.
Moisture source
Leaks, water intrusion, condensation, humidity, or another moisture condition should be corrected so cleanup is not treating only the visible symptom.
Affected materials
Hard and nonporous surfaces may sometimes be cleanable, while porous materials can be more difficult to restore depending on the extent of growth and water damage.
Extent of the problem
Visible mold does not always show what may be behind drywall, under flooring, above ceilings, or inside other concealed areas.
Safe work practices
The size, location, and complexity of the problem influence appropriate containment, protective equipment, cleanup, and disposal methods.
What to Do Next
Stop active water intrusion when it is safe to do so, avoid unnecessarily disturbing large or hidden mold growth, and get experienced help when the extent or source is uncertain.
