Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 This speaks to the issue of mold victims future homes. I tried to build a traditional home during my mold recovery. Did not work. Now I have a cinderblock bathroom and laundry. It is a separate small house. All the pipes and attachments are visible. I urge anyone thinking of re-building to forget about what is normal in the US and build for your own health-including separate buildings for all water rooms, no wood or celulose, and no watering and covering of cement slabs, it causes a small amount of spore growth and subsequent mycotoxin release. If you think this is a strange or outragouse idea you are not a sensitized mold victim or have not yet run through all your resources trying to find a safe place to live. I am willing to speak with anyone about what I think works for sensitized mold victims-based on what has not worked for me. We could not move these machines or reach anything to turn off the water, it isn't possible. We do have a floor drain, but it is only good in case of a small leak. For 9 months, the water was being soaked up by drywall behind the machine! There was NO way for us to know it was happening. We didn't see 1 ounce of it. When we did find out about it - we left immediately. I guess the hardest part is that the repairman said... it was a twenty five cent plastic tie that could have saved our home and our health. The installer " forgot " to clamp down the water hose. We paid a big price for something that is such an easy thing. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
