Moisture trapped in insulation and framing often keeps feeding mold after a leak appears fixed. Dense tree cover and coastal humidity slow drying around North Shore homes, and mold benefits. Attics and crawlspaces in older houses are often poorly ventilated, which lets warm, moist air condense and support growth.
That is why acting early matters in Saint James: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
