๐จ Hidden Water Damage Can Lead to Microbial Growth
This recent inspection revealed significant damage to wood flooring caused by a possible window leak. What appeared to be a small issue had allowed moisture to remain trapped beneath the flooring, resulting in elevated moisture readings, visible deterioration, and conditions that may support microbial growth.
๐ง Watch for these warning signs:
Soft or buckled flooring
Dark staining or discoloration
Musty odors
Water intrusion after heavy rain
Addressing moisture problems early can help prevent costly repairs and reduce the risk of hidden microbial growth affecting your indoor environment.
If you suspect a hidden leak, moisture intrusion, or microbial growth in your home or business, Air Quality Services can help with professional moisture investigations, microbial assessments, and indoor air quality testing.
