Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Not to sound weird.. But on the other hand be careful what you do. There are cases where they can force you to leave your home.. Whether you can financially deal or not with mold. -- [sPAM] Re: Re: mold! ours was 12 yeas ago when Lucas was a baby . Our homeowner insurance paid for the cleanup and for new furniture and for us to stay somewhere else until we could see our house. We were the last case in WA state to get paid. I do not know what the climate is in other states but we settled for about $40,000 but almost all of it went to paying for two homes etc. It was a nightmare to say the least. But... you need to find out the facts first. It may be able to be cleaned up. You may be able to do some of the work. But find out where it is coming from. Get several estimates, Call the EPA and But I do not that the think SSA will do anything unfortunatley. Yes and it can explain some of your symptoms being out of control.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Another thought.. Check your homeowners insurance policy too! -- [sPAM] Re: Re: mold! ours was 12 yeas ago when Lucas was a baby .

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yes, We are here for you and I will be happy to walk you through. And spending the day out in a travel trailer is not a bad idea for now.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yes but I think that if you do not figure out what is there then you may have irreverisible problems for all of you. It is not a light matter. We are still dealilng with my daugther 10 year later from the mold. ( long story) Who knows with Lucas whether this has caused his problems or they are genetic. Also keep it very quiet with others knowing. It took us over a year to sell our house because it was jinxed by the realestate agents even though we had cleaned it up completely. I AM SO SORRY you are having to deal with this Valarie with all else that is already on your plate YOU are not alone!!!!!!!!
