Mould Questions

Q.
We recently
purchased a new home. After about a month of living there I noticed a
moisture spot on my bathroom wall. Upon investigating the water spot, I
found that the water was leaking from the second floor all the way down to
the basement. There was black mould growth from the leaking water on the
walls and carpet of one closet and mould growing in my kitchen pantry. I
contacted the builder and they fixed the water leak, removed the carpet
and padding and applied primer and painted over the moulded walls. Is that
sufficient to fix the mould pollution from the water leak? Can I demand the
builder to check for airborne mould pollutants? Did they need to remove the
dry wall and the wooden structure behind the drywall that has been soaked
in water? Thank you for any advise that you can give me. My husband is
asthmatic and since we have been in this house he has had the worst
allergies that he has ever had. I'm wondering if it could be from the
house.

Your husband's health problems are a very good indication that your home
may be harboring health-destroying mould contamination. Your first step is
to hire a
Certified
Mould Inspector to inspect and mould test the air in all
rooms of your home, plus inside the wall cavities, ceiling cavities, and
floor cavities in the water leak location and water problem areas. The
mould inspector will use a fiber optics inspection device, plus a special
air pump that impacts wall cavity air samples onto the sticky surface of a
mould culture plate. The mould inspector will then have the mould samplings
analyzed for mould identification by
Mold
Inspector Laboratory, Ltd., a prominent USA mould laboratory.
If there is evidence of elevated levels of mould infestation in the air
inside your home or of wall mould, ceiling mould, and floor mould, the
formerly wet areas need to be opened up and mould remediated in
accordance with the mould remediation advice and tips provided at:
Mould Removal Advice.
Mould contaminated home needs mould inspection, mould testing, mould
identification, mould sampling and mould remediation to get rid of toxic
mould which can cause severe health effects and diseases to man, animals and
plants and can also cause material decay. More mould information on mould
