Good to know
Mold After Plumbing Leak in Malibu, CA: common questions
How can I tell if a leak caused mold?
Common indicators include a musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or softened subfloor near sinks or toilets.
Can mold develop from a leak that was already fixed?

The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Malibu home.

Shutting off the water helps limit damage. Leave moldy material undisturbed for proper technician assessment.
