What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Spores float in ordinary air, so mold only needs a damp spot to take hold. A wet ceiling is that spot, and the clock starts with the first drip.
- Ask whoever lives above to stop using the tub, shower and toilet
- Shut off the water to the bathroom above if its valves are within reach
- Put buckets under drips and move furniture and rugs out of the room
- Leave light fixtures off and stay clear of any bulging ceiling
- Photograph the stain and note when you first saw it
