Undetected leaks are common in homes and likely to occur no matter what you do to prevent them, that is why routine maintenance is necessary.

• Peeling or bubbling wallpaper
• Moist, damp smells
• Water seeping from portions of the wall

Why is it an Issue?

One normally would think, “if there is no visible water, there’s no problem, right?” The short answer is no. Moisture is an invitation fold microbial growth to come right in, and once that occurs, the damage is done. No matter the extent of mold, it is always expensive to take proper care of if left alone.
