The first step is to examine the affected area, to determine if what you’re seeing is mold or not. Some helpful things to look for are damp spots around the mold, discoloration of the surrounding area, an unusual texture, or a musty smell. Once the mold has been identified, see if you can identify any intruding water, such as a wet spot in the surrounding carpet, drywall, cabinet, etc.

 Mold often appears in connection with water damage from a leak of some kind. If you can identify the source of the leak yourself, try to shut off the water line to the source. If you can’t find the source of the leak, or cannot shut off the water supply, you will need to call a plumber to eliminate the source of moisture before mitigation can begin. If there doesn’t seem to be an immediately noticeable form of water intrusion, you can skip ahead to calling a mold restoration expert like Faulkner Restoration.
