How do I know if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are common signs mold has started after a leak.

Yes, if the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, mold can already be established even though the leak itself is resolved.
