Hi Guys,
I am not sure where to put this, and it relates to my current place of residence and not an investment property, but I think you guys could really give me some advice or insight into this issue.
I currently live in an old house, Victoria/Edwardian style house.
The house is well maintained, but recently I started noticing the ceiling is turning black with black spots and it seems to be spreading in two bedrooms and in the laundry (no dryer in the laundry). From researching online, it appears to be a mold problem, as in the one of the bedroom there is a distinct earthy smell.
The laundry ceiling is of a lighter color than the bedrooms, more grey as opposed to black.
Could anyone with more experience advise given the age of the house?
If it is indeed mold, does this mean a leaky roof? I do not see any wet spots on the ceiling, just black spots.
And finally, what kind of trades men/women should I call to remove the mold/check if roof is leaky? I am in Inner West of Sydney.
Thanks!
