Anyway, the basement is TOTALLY empty and cleaned out, yet, as i said smells

very musty. I get headachy when near the basement door.

Can anything more be done? felice

You need to think about what the mold is feeding on.. Mold needs

moisture to live.

Do whatever it takes to prevent moisture down there and then, cleanup

has a chance of being successful. Otherwise, its futile, as mold will

come back..

You should measure the relative humidity down there and if the RH is

above 50% or so, do whatever it takes to lower it. (Dehumidifier?

Venting?)

If that doesn't work.. perhaps you do need to move..

Felice, did you see my reply to your post on

basement regarding your attic. Air in the

building comes down from the attic in air

conditioning season, so attic is much more likely

to be source than basement, particularly since

chimney has odor.

Felice, do you live near the state of land? I know an excellent tester who

I trust completely. He helped a friend of mine with her basement of a VERY old

farm house which has been retested and is now safe and toxic free!
