Common moisture sources
- Roof and plumbing leaks.
- Flooding and water intrusion.
- Condensation on cold surfaces.
- HVAC drainage or moisture problems.
- Persistent indoor humidity and poor drying after water events.
Why wet materials matter
- Drywall paper, insulation, carpet, wood products, ceiling tiles, and other materials can support growth when damp long enough.
- EPA guidance recommends drying wet materials promptly, often within 24–48 hours after a leak or spill where possible.
Prevention after remediation
- Correct leaks, improve drainage and ventilation, manage condensation, and use air conditioning or dehumidification as needed.
