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 Rocky Mount. The insulation, the framing lumber, the paper facing on drywall are all organic materials that mold establishes on quickly once moisture is present in Rocky Mount, NC. By the time mold is visible on the interior surface, the colony in the cavity behind it is already well established in Rocky Mount. The fastest way to limit mold risk from a chimney leak is to stop the water entry as fast as possible in Rocky Mount, NC.
