Places to look for mold

Under the Sink

A slow drip from a water line or the drain line beneath a kitchen or bathroom sink will often go unnoticed until a musty smell alerts you that something’s not right. Because the area under a sink is dark, it’s a prime place for mold to develop when moisture is present. It’s a good idea to check regularly under sinks with a flashlight to ensure that a slow drip isn’t causing mold to grow.

Behind a Bathtub Surround

Unless your bathtub is a single, molded unit, there a good chance the caulk between the tub and the surround will one day fail, allowing water to leak in and damage the wood studs and framing materials. Keep an eye on the condition of the caulk, and if it’s starting to yellow or pull away, remove it and replace it with fresh new caulk.
