Signs to Check in South Baton Rouge Homes
In South Baton Rouge, the early signs of mold are the same ones worth knowing anywhere in East Baton Rouge Parish: visible growth, a musty smell, a damp patch, peeling paint, mold after a leak or flooding, condensation where ventilation is poor, or growth in an attic or crawl space. Any one of them in a South Baton Rouge home in East Baton Rouge Parish is worth a call, and two or more together are a strong reason to describe what you found rather than waiting to see whether it clears up.
What the signs do not tell you on their own is the cause, and in a South Baton Rouge property in East Baton Rouge Parish the cause decides the work.

New arrivals to South Baton Rouge should check sinks, toilets, the water heater and the rooms underneath them in the first weeks, since leaks — and the mold that follows — often show up soon after moving in.
