KC, I wanted to mention another way a house can get mold. when I was married we

had a house built for us, I do remember that the frame was exposed to rain for

several weeks. Couldn't the studs get wet and then the builders put up dry wall

and mold could grow from that?

Where I live, my complex started a club house 3 years ago May. We had

the worst 2 years of rain and floods and they are still not done this

club house. For a year it sat there without a roof. Creepy.

After dealing with my builder trying to use moldy wood, and

potentially contaminating my home forever, All the remediators I

have talked to say the same thing- all the new wood has mold, seen

of unseen, the gold standard is to build with steel or blue wood,

failing that soda blast your wood, then spray an antimicrobial after

the house is closed in. I am using Ageis, others like fosters. This

adds considerably to the price of building, but might give you a

little time to get a leak fixed, especially if you use glass faced

wallboard.
