It still does not cure faulty installations, he should have done that as well

when he did the installation.

Subject: [] re: Vickie's situation

Vickie's web site describes an interesting series of events which everyone

should read and heed. Unfortunately, it resulted in property and health damage,

all unnecessary. A big lesson we all should learn is that as individuals, we are

all responsible for our own situations, our health and our property, which I am

sure Lowe's will say in its defense. Vickie bought a washing machine in 2005,

but didn't find a water leak until 2006, along with the associated extensive

mold problem. The water leak was apparently caused by improper installation, but

the homeowner never noticed the leak! As a homeowner, or even a tenant, regular

inspection of the laundry, kitchen, and bath should occur whenever these areas

are used. Even go so far as to turn the faucets to your washer off after each

laundry chore, assuming that hoses can break and cause catastrophic leakage.

Turning them on and off may seem like an additional chore, but its not as big a

chore as having to

leave your home. Inspect your hose fittings regularly. Put your washer in a

catch pan with a drain to the outside if it isn't in the basement, building code

in some areas. These suggestions apply to everyone, but particularly those whose

laundry is not in the basement on a concrete floor with a nearby floor drain. An

open faucet and a split hose can pour out water faster than many floor drains

can accept it.

Hi all -

This is a late post to this- sorry - we have been going through a lot lately!

http://www.lowes- nightmare. com

if you all would take a look and share it with your family and friends, it would

be appreciated. I think it is important that people know " in our opinion " what

happens when going through something like this. It's not just the physical and

emotional symptoms of the illness - but of a fight against the companies that

are responsible for it.

Vicki,

You are absolutely right, how on earth could you have known what was going

on in the drywall? we lived in our brand new home built by Drees Homes for

over a year being in & out of hospital 7 times until we finally figured it

out. Our windows had been leaking in behind the drywall onto the mold

covered studs they had installed. It is NOT your fault, we hire contractors

to do a job, they are supposed to be the " experts " not us!!!

I wish you and your family all the best, we took our builder to court and

won, I think you will find that jurors are becoming more and more educated

about the severe health issues associated with mold exposure.

Take Care,

Meng. www.donttrustdrees.com
