Signs to Check in Covington Homes
Mold in a Covington home shows the same signs as anywhere else in St. Tammany Parish — but in a busy household in Covington it is easy to miss. Visible dark patches on a wall or ceiling, a musty smell, a damp patch, peeling paint, mold after a past leak or flooding, condensation in a bathroom or attic, or growth found behind a wall are the signs that matter for Covington homes in St. Tammany Parish. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
Signs alone are not proof of how far mold has spread in a Covington home in St. Tammany Parish.

If you have just moved into a Covington home, check the sinks, toilets, water heater and the rooms underneath them first: leaks — and the mold that follows them — are often found in the first weeks in a new home in St. Tammany Parish.
