Guest guest Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 My bedrooms are well sealed off & smell moldy- especially the Master. It hasn't rained since the beginning of July & before that a sprinkle in June. It's bone dry & the bedroom was so bad today that the contractor was dizzy in about 30 seconds. He checked the attic insulation for mold - nothing. The crawl has no insulation but spots of white mold ? & green on the ceiling, if that's what you call it- the bottom of the subfloor I guess it is. The outside of the house is moldy. There is nothing but 1/4 sheets of hardwood (unfinished) on the outside of the house. Instead of plywood & then siding it just has that wood. The bottom 3 feet of that wood is moldy to the other side. When you pry that off there's no housewrap - just the insulation which, BTW, has no mold on it. (Not that I would keep it). The floors are plywood, a layer of tar paper & more plywood. That's what sits on the joists - & no insulation - thank goodness. Could that tar paper have caused the mold ? I guess the thing to do is remove all the flooring, the moldy outside wood, the walls to the studs. Is there any hope ? I just can't go back to being homelessness with severe MCS.
