- Musty Odor: A persistent, damp, and musty smell, often stronger in enclosed areas.
- Discoloration: Stains or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors.
- Health Symptoms: Increased respiratory issues, allergies, or asthma symptoms among occupants.
- Peeling Paint: Paint or wallpaper starting to peel or bubble.
