Is house structure related to mold growth??

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have been dealing with a lot of health-related mold issues since

relocating to a very humid part of the U.S.

I am renting a townhouse that is just 2.5 years old, and after just 2

months here, I am getting sick from mold. The problem is in the dining

room, just beneath one of the upstairs bathrooms. There was no

caulking put around the bathtub,and I am thinking that maybe moisture

has gotten into the space between the floor and the ceiling and caused

a mold problem.

I am looking to buy a home soon, and was wondering--are single-story

homes less likely to develop mold problems? I have been looking at a

ranch style home with a basement, and it seems that any moisture issues

would be easier to detect and repair in a house that didn't have

several floors.

I'd appreciate hearing any thoughts on this.
