When should mould removal be preceded by a leak check?
Look for a leak or water ingress when mould is concentrated around a pipe, ceiling penetration, window reveal, or a patch that worsens after rain. Those patterns can also have other explanations, so they do not confirm the cause by themselves. If the surface stays damp or mould returns after cleaning, check plumbing and external defects as well as ventilation before arranging further treatment.
