I posted a few days ago (Urgent Buyer Advice needed from June 8th).Here’s a bit of an update. I went back to the house and the contractor had put up more Sheetrock on the ceiling. In fact he had cut down the mold and placed new sheetrock over the ceiling. What could they be trying to hide? I had a mold tester come in at the advice of my attorney to identify if there was more mold in the basement..what kind and where it was.
They found mold in the ceiling of the basement and the new Sheetrock the contractor has just put up was soaked and wet. The issue here is that I have an infant and don’t want her to develop anykind of health problems from bad mold. The heat is forced heat which originates from the basement to the rest of the house (its a 2 -family).
The mold report just came back from the lab (they took actual samples from the mold and the air. According to EPA and CDC, certain kinds can make people very sick once its airborne and needs to be professionally cleaned. The report revealed abundant Penicillium and Aspergillus and a small of Stachybotrys (all toxic).
Not sure what to do now..should i just walk away??
