West Marin covers the coast from Stinson Beach and Bolinas to Point Reyes Station, Inverness and Tomales Bay.
West Marin is in the fog belt full-time, and many homes there are second homes or rentals that sit closed up for weeks. That's a recipe for mold. Fog-soaked cedar and redwood siding, cabins with no insulation, and crawlspaces near the coast are all high-risk. Owners often find mold only when they open the house back up.
Moisture sources to check: closed-up vacation homes (consider a dehumidifier and humidity monitor), crawlspaces, closets on outside walls, and bedding and stored fabrics.
Is water still coming in? Drying it out fast comes first: see Marin water damage help. For general guidance, see the EPA's mold resources.
