Q.
I am not sure if I need a mold inspection or if I could do this on my own. I
live in an apartment that had a rather large flood from the above apartment.
This was probably over 6 months ago. The water covered not only the bathroom
floor, but my bedroom floor, under the bed, the closet carpet and the
hallway. I called the Manager and it
took a day or more for him to come and inspect this. He told me to have fans
circulate, which I did. He tried to vacuum as much of the water as he could.
It took another week before I heard from the landlady, who said it would be
taken care of. Another two weeks went by and mold was beginning. I called
the health Board and they came and said it appeared to be mold and she had
30 days to fix this. The padding under the carpet also was turning green and
black, besides the bathroom ceiling. She did, after three weeks make
repairs. What I discovered, was that they just painted over the mold on the
ceiling and never changed the padding. Now, the mold is once again growing
and spreading. I was told two weeks ago it would be corrected and so far,
she has not even been here. Now, this may be a
coincidence, but since I also work from home, I am here all the time. I am having trouble
sleeping, I am always nauseous, I feel as if I have the flu all the time and
my eyes burn and I have no energy. Am I being paranoid? [June 17, 2003] A. The severe water flooding from above [which probably put water and thus moisture for mold growth INSIDE your ceiling and walls], your serious health problems, and your sighting of visual mold all have one conclusion for you---move out as soon as possible to a mold-safe place. You will ruin your family's health by continuing to live in mold contamination. Most landlords will not do what it takes for effective mold inspection, testing, and remediation. To know the true mold status of a rental property, don't hope that the landlord will hire an independent, thorough, and professional mold inspection. In your apartment, you would need to be out of the apartment anyways for the safe and complete removal of mold contaminated ceiling and wall drywall materials and the chemical treatment. To know what is required for effective mold remediation, please visit: Mold Removal . Do not move any of your clothing or personal possessions without first decontaminating them of mold spores in accordance with the precise instructions for all types of personal property that are included in our book DIY Mold Book [available at: Mold Mart ]. If you are interested in finding out what legal rights you may have against the landlord for damage to your health and to your personal property & for having to move, consult with a local environmental attorney [ Mold Attorney ].
Q. It turns out that a bad roof has caused a lot of mold, some in walls, some in basement from moisture. several kinds appeared when tested, green, and some of the black variety. Can I really eradicate the problem, by taking off roof, siding sheet rock, then replacing sheet rock inside, and power spraying the underneath wood outside, treating it, then new insulation and siding? This is my house, I had wanted to sell, but I will not sell with a problem. Can it be eradicated by getting to its source, then treatment. If so, which treatment is best. I need to decide in a couple of days, or the contractor will have to move on to other jobs, then I'll miss the summer selling season. [June 16, 2003] A. If you are handy in doing repairs or have helpers that are, you would save large amounts of money in doing your own mold remediation. In addition, you can make sure it is done properly. Many mold remediators leave as much or more mold in homes and other buildings AFTER mold remediation than before they did their supposed mold removal.
