Window or Side paneling can cause a water damage that will create a mold

Water damage is more than just a nuisance – it's a catalyst for a host of problems, with mold growth being one of the most insidious. Whether it's from a leaky pipe, a flooded basement, or a roof leak, water intrusion into buildings creates the perfect environment for mold to flourish.

Water is the lifeblood of mold, providing the moisture necessary for its growth and proliferation.

When water infiltrates building materials such as drywall, wood, or carpeting, it creates conditions conducive to mold spore germination and colonization.

Even minor water leaks or high humidity levels can sustain mold growth over time if left unchecked.
