If the ice maker supply line leaks, it can create pools of water under or around the appliance, leading to water damage to floors, cabinetry, and walls.

Water from a leak can seep into surrounding materials, such as drywall or wood, creating an environment conducive to mold growth.

Can a planter box cause damages to your home? YES -Excess water from the plants can lead to mold or rot, especially if the box is directly against a wall. If a planter box is too close to the foundation and retains moisture, it can cause soil erosion or settling, potentially leading to cracks in the foundation. If trees or large plants are used, their roots can invade the foundation or plumbing, leading to costly repairs. If you are experiencing any of these and have a visible water damage at your residence. Call SERVPRO of Malibu 310-456-2135

Mold found behind a bathroom vanity in a commercial office bathroom. It was remediated fast with the proper equipment and protocols. We passed the mold clearance test three days later. 

 One of the most overlooked areas where mold grows readily is in the open interior spaces of cavity walls. Moisture can get into this space where it condenses on the interior surfaces of the wall. Unless the wall has to be opened for other purposes, mold can grow undetected for years. This is why closet mold is so common. 

There are a few different ways moisture can have access to the interior areas of cavity walls. Roof and mechanical system leaks can allow water to soak into interior surfaces. During the cooling season, air infiltrating from outside the building through the walls carries vapor that condenses on the cooler room wall surfaces. During the heating season, air moving in the opposite direction carries moisture that condenses when it comes in contact with the cooler outside wall surfaces.

Wallboard is one of the hiding spots that mold likes to grow. Especially when it is located in damp locations is particularly susceptible to mold. Roof and mechanical system leaks, groundwater, floods, condensation: all can soak the wallboard. If it was a one-time event and the water was removed in less than 48 hours with no physical damage to the wallboard, it is possible to allow the material to dry and remain in place. However, if the event has been ongoing, if there is physical damage to the wallboard or if the damage was caused by sewage water, it will be necessary to remove and discard all of the affected wallboard.

It is impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores in your home.  But,  mold spores can't grow without moisture so reducing moisture in your home is the best way to prevent or eliminate mold growth.  Mold in Los Angeles

Mold can grow in walls, floors, appliances, carpet, or furniture. All these items provide the food that mold needs to grow. But the thing all molds need most is moisture, so you're most likely to see mold in damp places such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, and crawl spaces.
