Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Sep 06, 2023 5:04 pm I have a new house that we occupied 8 months ago. It had a slow leak detected by plumber between the wall between 2 bathrooms. Apparently the leak has been fixed. I am still smelling a strong mouldy smell. The builder & plumber said it will take some time to dry out as it has been leaking for a while. Should I accept this, or should they be pulling bathroom cabinet out to dry it out, & remove mould? I am only just now seeing some slight warping on the inside of shaving cabinet. Will the smell go when it drys out? Re: Leak in wall new house 2Sep 06, 2023 8:31 pm Mould is a health hazard and a strong mouldy smell is concerning.
