Mold can’t always be seen, but you can sometimes see and smell evidence of it when it’s hidden. Moisture lingers if not dried properly. That’s why, when water gets behind walls and floors and isn’t dried properly, bacteria and mold often grow unseen until it becomes a problem. If you have an interior leak or overflow, call us for a free inspection. CALL US AT (850) 581-9262.
Key Points on Hidden Mold and Moisture:
- Signs of Hidden Growth: A musty, earthy, or strong ammonia smell. It sometimes smells like cat pee. A wet smell usually indicates mold, even if it is not visible. Other signs include warped walls, peeling paint, discolored patches on surfaces, floor buckling, and uneven floors.
- The Cause: Moisture from leaks or floods that is not dried within 24–48 hours leads to mold growth, often inside walls or under flooring.
- Health and Safety: Mold spores can become airborne and travel through the home, particularly through HVAC systems.
- Action Needed: If you suspect hidden mold or have experienced a water event, it is crucial to find and fix the moisture source, not just clean the mold.
