Mold on Walls

The right combination of moisture and temperature without adequate drying of these walls resulted in very large and visible colonization of mold.After unwanted water or moisture enters a home or property, the walls, ceilings and cabinets must be tested and then thoroughly dried; otherwise they are at risk of mold as seen in these pictures. Slow and persistent leaks are most often the cause, but any flood that is not thoroughly dried to standard poses the risk of mold on walls.

At Caste we use specialized testing equipment that both determine the location of the moisture in your floors, ceilings, and walls, and the amount of moisture at those positive areas. We then dry those areas until they test as dry as the unaffected areas of the same construction materials.

Rot and Decomposition
