Moisture Inspection Needed
I see mold
What This Usually Means
Mold growth on drywall, ceilings, or trim is always a symptom of unaddressed moisture—such as an attic roof leak, plumbing condensation, or high humidity in enclosed spaces.
What To Do Right Now
- 1Avoid disturbing or scrubbing dry mold spots without protective equipment to prevent spreading spores.
- 2Identify if there is an active damp source nearby (roof drip, window condensation, or pipe moisture).
- 3Ensure proper ventilation in the room by opening interior doors or running exhaust fans.
What We'd Check
- Attic framing and underside of roof deck for hidden leak trails
- Bath exhaust vent ducting to verify it discharges outdoors rather than into the attic
- Drywall sheathing and window surround moisture levels
