Mold does not wait for weeks before establishing in a wet wall cavity in Edgemont Park, MI. Under favorable conditions, which a wet insulated wall cavity provides readily, mold can begin colonizing organic material within 24 to 48 hours of moisture exposure in Edgemont Park. The insulation, the framing lumber, the paper facing on drywall are all organic materials that mold establishes on quickly once moisture is present in Edgemont Park, MI. By the time mold is visible on the interior surface, the colony in the cavity behind it is already well established in Edgemont Park. The fastest way to limit mold risk from a chimney leak is to stop the water entry as fast as possible in Edgemont Park, MI.
One rain event through an unrepaired chimney leak saturates the insulation adjacent to the chimney and begins wicking moisture into the surrounding framing in Edgemont Park.
