Wherever water has been allowed to sit. The 3 most common spots are drywall below a leaking AC air handler, where a clogged condensate line drips through a closet ceiling or a hallway wall; baseboards and the bottom of the drywall after a slab leak, where moisture wicks up out of the floor; and attic roof sheathing under a slow roof leak, where the deck stays damp long enough to grow mold even in Piedmont heat. Huntersville and North Huntersville homes often run several AC units and air handlers, so an ordinary summer can clog several condensate lines. The first sign is a stain, not a smell. The hardest cases are homes that sit empty through the hot months: a line overflows in June, and nobody walks in until fall. If you know where the water has been, you already know where to look. It is also worth checking under the kitchen sink, behind the washer, and around any water heater in a closet, where supply lines fail quietly.

That depends on the cause and your policy, and your insurer decides, not any cleanup company. Standard policies cover certain water events: an HO-3 policy, the most common form, covers accidental discharge from a plumbing system, such as a burst supply line, according to Triple-I (opens in a new tab), the Insurance Information Institute. Seepage from the ground is excluded, and flood damage is not covered by most homeowners policies at all; flood coverage is separate and typically comes through the NFIP. Mold claims usually come down to 2 questions: did the mold come from a covered event, and how quickly was the water handled once it was known. Your job is the paper trail. Photograph everything before anything is moved, keep receipts for repairs and equipment, and report the loss promptly. Then ask your adjuster, in writing, what your policy covers for mold. The assessment report and written scope support a claim, but only your insurer answers the coverage question.
