My room has black mold in the corner of the ceiling and the wall cabinet?
My room has two windows, is very small, and I had black mold on the ceiling and, recently, mold also found along the closet wall on the side of the exterior wall. I wonder if there is a leak, but not sure what do. what kind of leaks can be and if so what should I do and whom should I contact to check or fix?
You do not mention what kind of 'space'. Home? Apartment? Bedroom? Bathroom? But you are right, mold is caused by moisture. Based only on what he said he could have a roof leak (or plumbing leak above) that has been soaked the roof and ran inside the wall. Normally a stop start showing dark areas, but not immediately. Here's a check. Take a needle and insert at various points on the ceiling and the wall where the mold. If you are in fairly easily, the drywall is wet. Try a completely dry area known for comparison, if you're unsure, but will be very soft wet plaster. Just a note on the ceiling, I will not start just messing with you hand or a broom, etc. If it really soaked it could cause an instant waterfall or have huge slabs of plaster or fall down. What seek redress depends on the type of room if you call a contractor, owner etc. But as you probably know, mold can be a real health hazard and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
