Does your sub floor have mold growing on it?

Indeed what you see on this sub floor is that thing that no one wants to talk about....that's right, it's mold. 

So what caused this mold to begin producing on the sub floor like this?  Well, ultimately it was caused by a lot of moisture being present as with all mold but in this particular situation it was a water leak that started within the wall cavity from the level above and due to the fact that the home owners hardly ever went into the basement, it remained unnoticed for quite some time.  Eventually the leak worsened and became visible on the main level which prompted the home owners to give us a call and during our crew's initial investigation of the affected area, they discovered that there was more damage than originally thought.

If you are a home owner, be sure to inspect all areas of your home on a routine basis to help prevent unwanted mold damage.
