How can I tell if a leak caused mold?
Common indicators include a musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or a soft subfloor around a sink or toilet.

It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. Insurance is accepted, and the contractor works with your carrier and documents the loss so the St. Louis claim keeps moving.
Should I repair the leak before calling for mold removal?
Stopping the water flow helps minimize damage. Leave any moldy material undisturbed for proper assessment by the technician.

Yes. Scheduling is coordinated to ensure the leak repair and mold remediation happen in the correct sequence.
