Signs to Check in Sherwood Forest Homes
Mold in a Sherwood Forest home shows the same signs as anywhere else in East Baton Rouge Parish — but in a busy household in Sherwood Forest 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 Sherwood Forest homes in East Baton Rouge 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 Sherwood Forest home in East Baton Rouge Parish. A damp patch in Sherwood Forest can come from a roof leak as well as a pipe leak, and a musty smell can come from growth sitting where it cannot be seen.

If you have just moved into a Sherwood Forest 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 East Baton Rouge Parish.
