Start with the moisture source

Look for leaks, water intrusion, condensation, and materials that remain damp. Visible mold can be a clue, but color alone cannot identify a species.

When it is safe, document water damage and dry affected materials promptly. Extensive, hidden, recurring, or HVAC-related concerns may need qualified professional assessment.
