Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 My family has been out of our mold contaminated home for 15 months. We abandoned the house and all our possessions. We have moved our 3 young children 5 times in an attempt to find a "safe, clean" environment. We feel like we want to try to buy another house after being cooped up in tiny apartments. We were supposed to close escrow next week on a house but just got the mold testing back and sure enough, it too was positive for mold. That makes 3 houses in a year. Are all houses contaminated to some extent? I feel like I'm on a tight deadline because if we don't buy before our credit is ruined from the financial devastation of all this, I fear it will be a long, long time until we can buy. The reason I am so committed to buying is that I don't believe we can property control our living environment unless we own (i.e., remove carpet to control asthma, repair water leaks immediately, etc.). I guess I am just discouraged. I really wanted this house but at the same time am terrified to get into another "Mold trap". Any recommendations from others who have been in my shoes?
