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. Bubba
so your saying a solution of clorox won't kill mold. and fresh dry
air won't stop it from growing?
Not exactly. Chlorox is NOT made to kill molds. Have you ever sprayed
it on a basement wall or a closet where mold grows? Notice how it
seems to keep showing up? Obviously, Chlorox is not a permanent
solution. And remember, some molds are harmless. Others will KILL
you. Dry air may help but a key to getting rid of mold is air
changes. Insulate that house and plug all those holes and you have
the same nasty air to breed mold. That's why HRV's (Heat Recovery
Ventilators) and ERV's (Energy Recovery Ventilators) are becoming so
popular and being installed in new homes. To ventilate and/or change
the air in the home.

Bubba, please post some news links of people who have perished from
mold.
Here are some lawyers looking for work on wrongful death by mold

On the other side here is a report in the Official OSU newspaper

Personally I am open to both arguments, but I am not convinced by
either. So I will suggest that molds can cause illnesses and certainly can
create serious problems for anyone selling a home that had mold problems
which have not been professionally handled.
