Extended outages after storms such as Isaias in 2020 leave basements without dehumidification, which gives mold an opening. A moisture survey shows where dampness is hiding, so remediation can target the source and not just visible growth. Humid air off the bays keeps moisture levels high, so mold can settle in fast after any leak or flood.
That is why acting early matters in Babylon: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
