When we think of the source of leaks within our homes, the first thing that usually comes to mind is leaking appliances. Yet, most of us aren’t housing appliances in our closets, so there likely isn’t an active water source to create closet mold. Once you spot mold in your closet, the first step in eliminating it is to identify the origin of the water leak.

What you may not realize is that the plumbing that feeds water throughout your home runs behind your walls, often this leaking plumbing or even a damaged roof can result in closet mold. Once that is identified and repaired you can move on to mitigating any additional water, removing damaged materials, and treating the remaining mold. Should your closet need any further work we will happily connect you with one of our preferred vendors. As you know, mold has a distinct smell and can easily impart that smell to your favorite clothes, so resolving your closet mold quickly may prevent a great deal of rewashing.
