So if the mold can only be fixed after the water problem is remedied, shouldn’t there have been some evidence of mold or at the very least water damage for the inspector to see and report? I suppose it’s also possible that the buyers knew of some water problem (possibly downplayed) and were assured that it was fixed. But that still leaves the inspector looking like an incompetent dumbass.
THL, is right. Water of this magnitude would yield lingering mildew smells long after they pump the water out and scrub the tile. Smells eminating from nooks like behind that louver panel…A-m-a-z-i-n-g that an inspector missed this. That’s who I’d be suing.
Guy looks at phone and reads “It’s December 21st, 2012 and as you can see, we got a lot of water pouring in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
snappy- mold can start within a day. Once the source is stopped- but also, all the mold has to be gotten out. That can be more extensive than anticipated.
It can be stopped only after the water problem is fixed. But mold remediation of this sort is not a big deal.
Dave, how can the mold be efficiently stopped if the source (ie the water slide that is the stairs, poor drain and clearly not sealed door) is not fixed? Obviously the source wasn’t fixed as evidenced by the video.
Snappy…with any water like that, the drywall and the insulation are already toast. Mold will start soon but can be stopped.
This is NOT an $800,000 job to remebdy as was alluded to in the other thread.
I suspect the drain outside the door goes nowhere…it needs a sump system installed. That said, something’s definitely wrong at the top of the stairs to allow all that water to flow down. The drain will never handle all of it.
And in this apartment, it apparently can float like a duck too.
“Walks like a duck, talks like a duck . . . so on.
