What indicates mold from a plumbing leak?

Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Delmar home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.

Stopping active water flow is advisable. Mold-affected materials are best left undisturbed for proper technician evaluation.
