Behind the Walls:
Hidden Mold Problems in Buildings

Q&A: Ask the Building Expert
Question: We’ve been noticing puddles forming near our building after it rains. Could that cause any problems, or is it just a cosmetic issue?
Answer: Puddles near the foundation are more than just an eyesore. They often indicate poor drainage, which can lead to water seeping into the basement or crawl spaces. Over time, this can cause structural issues, mold, and mildew. I recommend checking your gutters for clogs and making sure the ground slopes away from the building. A small fix now can save you thousands in repairs later.
