Bathrooms, kitchens, and closets are common mold trouble spots in city apartments.

The Health and Home Risks of Mold

It also stains walls, damages furniture, and spreads silently behind surfaces.

Everyday Signs You Might Have a Mold Problem

A musty smell, condensation, dark spots, or peeling paint are early mold warnings. Even furniture near walls can hide hidden patches.
