Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Hi everyone. Two years ago, we bought a brand new " spec " home - we were the first to live in it. I was 5 months pregnant at the time, and our son was 18 months. From the moment we moved in, our son stopped eating, and began to have " weird " other symptoms (asthma, sinus infections, rashes, etc). Fast forward 5 months and our daughter is born. Within the first six months of her life, she had had 2 lung infections, 4 ear infections, 2 sinus infections, and would never willingly eat. Fast forward 1.5 years, and we have an air quality test. It shows trace presence of aspergilus/penicilium molds. We file a claim with our insurance carrier. They find a leak. We still don't have any visual mold - just know it's in the air. In the meantime, we find out from a neighbor that just prior to us moving in, there was a pipe that broke and flooded a room upstairs (my son's room), and went all the way through to the room below. The neighbor said it was so bad that the foundation had to be repaired. Needless to say, the builder never disclosed this fact. Now the builder has done their air quality test, and it only shows trace molds as well, but theirs includes stachybotrys. Where do we go from here? Our doctor advised us a month ago to move out, and we did. But what do you do when you know it's in the air, but don't know where it is? Any advice would be extremely appreciated! -Kerri in Fort Worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
