Re: Re: Intro and remediation question, response to Jeff May--is remediation needed?

May 3, 2008

Hi! I am new on here but I can tell you one of the biggest issues at Mold Haven

was the old original windows--the humidity in there was always high and unless I

ran my heat on really high I could not breathe. This is just my opinion, but

depending on how sensitized you are, you might want to think about moving at

some point if that is an option for you.

[] Re: Intro and remediation question, response to Jeff

May--is remediation needed?

That is SO true that testing alone doesn't really do much, but tell you

you have mold, which you already know or suspect, which is why you had

testin done to begin with, BUT it doesn't tell you where it's coming

from. I spoke with a remediator about my reports, he told me I needed

to first stop the elevated humidity...ok, so we're getting all doors &

windows replaced because they leak so horribly. My question: What

will I be left with after I get the house sealed properly? I have no

idea how long the inside of the house has been exposed to the outside

because of these leaks. Once the house is sealed properly, is that

when I would need to have the whole inside remediated?? Or, do I need

to just have the house contents thoroughly cleaned after they're not

being exposed to the outside??

Thank you for any guidance in this area & thank you for the helpful

info already posted!

Hugs, Cheryl
