Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Thank you for your advice on " buying a home with mold " these test kits that are on the market do they distiguish between toxic mold and normal dampness mold. I am assuming after reading on the internet that normal mold is smelly but not harmfull? am i right? and that this toxic mold is the true issue. The owner of the property has had " mold Experts " come in and estimate the damage at to repair at 65K. Would they have done some type of test to determine this and would I be reading the tests be able to determine the issue especialy if i gave the test results to another testing company? Sorry for all the questions but I would like to understand the process as well as i can to make sure this woman is not just getting ripped off by a Scam artist....... Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever had leaks in those areas? Barth TOXIC MOLD SURVEY: www.presenting.net/sbs/sbssurvey.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
