Hi ,

 

Thank you , however their are no visible signs of water damage anywhere, we

cannot see or find any at all.  Yet something is making us ill.   However

this

place is not mine.  It is in forclosure, and I wanted an idea of what was in

here making us ill, how fast to run, we do not even know how far along

forclosure is.  Finding another place close to impossible, between a rock and a

very hard place.  I have 3 lung conditions and I am just trying to protect

them.

Since I have no Dr that even has a clue or treatment at the moment.  

 

How eles do we know what is wrong here or anywhere else we may end up?

God Bless !!

Why do you want to " know what's there " ?

Mold is mold. Water damage is damage. Fix it and save your money. Unless you are

involved in litigation, then you can get agreement on the fact that it IS mold.

Unless you need confirmation for some special medical purpose, you can get

agreement that it IS mold.

You can assume their might be other contaminants, bacteria etc.

If you must, get a microscopy from a lab that will tell you if it is growth or

not (or settled or disturbed debris), in addition to the species/genera ID.

The cultures and PCR all cost way too much for a general understanding of what

is present.

Remember the rule: ask what you want to know, then decide if samplig results

will increase the power of your decision-making. In your case, I think not. Save

your money for cleaning.
