Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I alerted my landlord to the mold problem in our home, after some back and forth, he sent his daughter, wife and son in law around to clean the place, which I wasn't altogether happy with. A few days after the cleaning the place, he said that he had an environmental expert in to test the situation. The guy came around, and although we could describe the mold, all visible remnants had gone due to the amatuer cleaning effort. I thought this was starnge that he would arrange the place to be tested after the clean up and tend to think that he was trying to cover his own back. Any thoughts on what steps i should take.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I note that He did not come himself...but risked the lives of his family!!! So he is not in the know about molds. The molds will return......the tests were likely not complete...simple smear tests. It takes air sample testing inside walls and in all areas. If any Moisture persisted... you will keep on with molds. My advice is seek a different abode ASAP.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Wow, that sounds so underhanded and sneaky. Mold isn't gone just because he superficially cleaned it. Just give it another month and then it will reappear on the surface. The spores will then proliferate more by that time. What kind of testing did they do? The air sample testing should have shown something if there was mold because surface cleaning will not kill the mold spores.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 They did air sampling tests, the results of which were due back last Tuesday, we haven't heard anything about the results as yet! Already the walls are beginning to exhibit signs, but this time I am prepared I have the number of the testing company and he showed me how to isolate and take some samples myself. Plus I got a digital camera so that I can monitor the mold as it reappears. --- In , " Rose Briggs " <br6535@h...> wrote: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
