Are these spots on the ceiling mold? Why is there different colors on the sheet rock?web2025-04-10T01:18:06-06:00
The spots on the sheet rock, next to the smoke detector, is mold. Some molds can start to grow within 24 hours of moisture being present. Other types, of mold need 7-10 days before they really take off. When we see this amount of color on the walls and ceiling’s, there’s certainly a need for microbial remediation.
The reason there is different colors on the sheet rock is due to water. When water presents it’s self , on most construction materials, it leaves a residue or water mark as it dry’s. This is one way of being able to identify potential problems, or previous water issues when looking to figure out what is going on.
Should I be concerned with what I see in this photo?web2025-04-10T01:13:46-06:00
Yes!
There are major concerns here. You have current water running down the wall. Evidence of the darker colors on the concrete. You can tell that there is a problem and water has been here for a long time. The wooden joists are colored and show long term water damage with rot and decay. And as you would expect, there is a strong odor that indicates you will have a high mold count and infestation.
