We had a furnace disaster that put four or five inches of hot water
into our basement. The place was filled with stored items. The
water was there for a day or two before being discovered. We
cleaned up and threw out a lot of wet stuff but some months have
gone by and we have a serious mold problem. We just had a
specialist come in and we agreed that he drywall has to be removed
and the place cleaned up. For a clean up,decontamination and
sealing the walls we are looking at $23,000. Does this seem out of
sight?

We also realize we have to throw out most of what is left down
there. I have a large record collection and realize the cardboard
jackets,though looking fine,probably have to go. Are the vinyl
records inside also a lost cause,or can they be cleaned?


You and Rob Gray are ****in idiots. There is toxic mold and it can be
deadly. There are also rip off artists and people that do it right.
You have no idea what is at the original posters home and the degree
of clean up. $23,000 may be a rip off and it may be the greatest deal
on earth but neither you nor I have the slightest clue without being
there. Mold clean up is NOT cheap but thats why you get estimates.
Clorox and sealing paint............God what a retard.

so your saying a solution of clorox won't kill mold. and fresh dry
air won't stop it from growing?

Clorox is not likely to kill all of it and it only takes one spore to
get it going again. Fresh dry air may slow it down, but I would not bet my
life on it stopping it.
