Power loss after a major storm stops dehumidifiers and sump pumps, and mold can follow within days. A past leak or flood that was never dried completely is one of the most common hidden sources of mold behind walls and under floors. Moisture from showers settles into ceilings and walls when exhaust fans are missing or vent into the attic.
That is why acting early matters in Islandia: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
