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.
How long does mold after a plumbing leak take to remediate?
It depends on how far the moisture traveled, but most single-fixture leaks are contained and dried within a few days once we start.

We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Preston home.
