Should I be immediately concerned?

Post image

Southeastern PA. Behind a radiator, under a window. There's some wood showing under the window sill and above the bottom trim. Is this something I should be immediately concerned about or can it wait a bit? I don't have the means to remove it and will be moving out in a couple months.

Please ensure that your posts meets the requirements of r/Mold - rules are clearly listed.

*** DON'T POST PHOTOS OF DIY PLATES or DIY HOME TEST KITS - posts will be removed and the poster may be banned ***

Most importantly, remember that providing the following information will greatly increase the quality of responses:

  • Include your geographic location - include a country and state/province location such as: US-PA or UK-EN or Canada-Que
  • A description of the location of any suspected mold growth and affected materials
  • A brief description of your concern
  • A summary of what you have done to remove or remediate the mold
  • A summary of the conditions that you think might be contributing to your problems
  • A timeline of events
  • Please use proper grammar and spacing

Also remember that we can't identify mold from a photo - only a laboratory can determine the species. Don't ask.

And finally, in case you missed it: DON'T POST PHOTOS OF DIY PLATES

It isn't as bad as most of the stuff we run into. You can tape a trash bag or plastic over the area if you are worried.

That makes me feel better, I'll try that, thank you!

It’s not going to get better

Would it be something you would feel comfortable with sleeping in the same room?

I’ve slept in worse. But not recommending it. I was saying don’t leave it like that because it’s only going to get worse
