Guest guest Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I was finally able to locate water damage in my home (despite ERMI test results showing my home to be safe -2.5 index). Bathroom vents were not vented to the outside causing mold build up in the attic-The attic was put under negative pressure, dry ice blasted, all insulation removed and replaced, sealed with concrobium and hepa vacuumed. Damp cement block basement walls were dried, sealed with concrobium and painted with dry lock. Also leaky toilet ring and associated mold have been remediated. The company doing the work also utilized the Odorox hydroxyl generating system to purify the air and finally will steam clean all wall to wall carpeting in the house. When this work first began the impact on my health was extreme - excrutiating headache, blurred vision, dizziness, body aches etc. confirming my suspicion that my home was not healthy for me. I have been living with a friend since and now that the work is done I fear returning to my home. Has anyone had success with successfully remediating their home? What testing could be done to measure whether the home would be safe to live in? We are prepared to sell but would rather not given flat housing market and the fact we like our current location and home. Any advice is appreciated.
