Good to know

How do I know if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are common signs mold has started after a leak.

Yes, if the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, mold can already be established even though the leak itself is resolved.

It depends on how far the moisture traveled, but most single-fixture leaks are contained and dried within a few days once we start.
