Water from roof leak has seeped into a wall causing the paint to buckle and peel. (photo, Terry Brennan)
When built, the roof had a hole for the drainpipe; however, a drainpipe was not installed until years later. The white stains on the brick are mineral deposits resulting from rain pouring through the drain hole onto the walls. (photo, Terry Brennan)
In this case, the icicles result from warm air in the house leaking into an attic without sufficient insulation. (photo, Terry Brennan)
Several inches of water in a basement with a broken sump pump. (photo, Terry Brennan)
Water in the ground has seeped through the concrete walls of the basement, leaving white mineral deposits on the walls. The water has evaporated into this basement, increasing humidity. Mold is growing in some areas. (photo, John Martyny, Ph.D.)

EPA Mold Resources
The Environmental Protection Agency has been in the forefront of all US Gov't agencies in establishing resources for improving Indoor Air Quality, with prevention and elimination of mold. Their resources are multiplying each year, and as they are developed, we will place them on our site for your convenience.
