Leak Outside Mold Inside

Sometimes when things (especially leaks) are out of sight they are out of mind. When it comes to water, this should never be the case. If you see even the tiniest of leaks fix it or have someone fix it for you unless you want a new kitchen. Just know that new kitchen is coming out of your pocket because most insurance companies do not cover mold. In the picture shown you can see that there was some sort of leak because of the ground being muddy, the wall being discolored, and the wall having moss. The moss/moisture then went to the inside of the home undetected for who knows how long. Roughly half of the kitchen cabinets, flooring, and some appliances were removed. Moral of this job is do not put something off if you notice something is wrong. If you fix it now you won’t be paying for it later.
