Moisture trapped in insulation and framing often keeps feeding mold after a leak appears fixed. Limited attic and crawlspace ventilation in older homes lets humidity collect where it is hard to see.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Stony Brook check the likely hiding spots, not just the visible staining.
