Ave Maria: local context

The median home in Ave Maria was built around 2014 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); older wall assemblies and past storm leaks give moisture more places to hide. Roughly 12% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; homes closed up with the AC off or set high are a common mold source.

What not to do with mold

• If a leak is feeding it, shut the water off.
