Possible signs
- Musty odors, staining, peeling paint, swollen drywall, soft baseboards, or a known leak can indicate a moisture problem behind the finish.
- These signs are not proof of mold, but they are reasons to investigate.
Why wall mold can be complex
- Opening a wall may expose a larger affected area than what is visible.
- Containment, removal, cleaning, and drying should match the scope and materials involved.
Fix the source before closing the wall
- Replacing drywall without correcting the moisture condition can recreate the same problem.
