Which sign of water damage is NOT typically checked in mould assessments?

In mould assessments, the primary focus is on indicators that directly signify water intrusion and potential mold growth. Bubbling paint, swollen wood, and water stains are all clear signs of moisture problems; they indicate regular exposure to water, leading to deterioration of the materials and the risk of mold development.

On the other hand, cracked tiles do not automatically suggest water damage or moisture issues. While cracked tiles can occur due to other factors like structural shifts, age, or impact, they do not necessarily indicate water presence. In the context of mould assessments, cracked tiles are typically not a standard indicator to check for because they do not directly correlate with the moisture conditions conducive to mould growth. Hence, they are not a primary focus in evaluating potential mould problems.
