  SPEAKER_00: Mold concerns often begin with something ordinary, a plumbing leak, a damp closet, or a musty room after water damage.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: In Kennesaw, mold remediation should address both the affected materials and the moisture allowing growth to continue.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: Start by limiting access to the affected space and documenting what you see from a safe distance.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Avoid brushing, sanding, or aiming a fan at suspected mold, because disturbing it can spread particles into surrounding areas.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: An assessment helps identify visible damage, moisture conditions, and places that may need further investigation.

  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: Odors alone cannot establish the cause, but persistent dampness or unexplained smells deserve attention.

  SPEAKER_00: Describe when the odor started and whether there was a recent leak.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: Can painting solve the problem?
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: Covering a stain does not correct wet materials or remove underlying growth.
