Re: mold existence(condo or single family home?)........

[Guest guest]

I know mold issues can exist ANYWHERE, but I've read posts where many

mold victim's NEXT place of residence is an enclosed home, such as a

condo or townhouse....with tile or wood floors and if patio, placing

bricks on top of grassy areas to cover grass. Yes, the ac/heat vents

need to be checked too....just my luck, if I bought another place

that " seemed " mold free at time of inspection, and move in....a month

or more down the road the same symptoms(along with chemical

sensitivity) may develop all over again! Guess there simply are no

guarantees. Guess it is better to RENT for the rest of my life! I am

thankful that this Nightmare didn't start in my 20's, as I'm

approaching 60. My heart " goes out " to all families with youngsters as

victims of this trajedy!! You know the plo addage,......who would

have ever believed something like this would have happened to

me " .....so we have to just " deal " with it....sorry, but I'm in the

paronoid stage of this issue now! Maybe over coming year, I'll seetle

down and be able to offer help to another " newly stricken " soul....I

think KC's " Ministry " on this board is one of strong compassion for

his fellow man(women), and his wife deserves equal thanks for her

partnership with KC!! Steve

One thing I can tell you that I didn't even consider in my last

place, no mold but all the exhaust fans were by the windows. So

dryer exhaust was always a problem along with shower exhaust. Many

newer rental places have the vents by the windows. Something that

they need to change. Who do you talk to about that. Anyway look

around and see if it is like that where you live at the townhouses

and apartments. From what I understand watch out for condos and

thier crazy fees. I posted an article from my state yesterday where

the residents have to come up with 50,000 to cover water damage to

the building and some people just bought their place and never

dreamed they would have to pay that large expense. That has happened

in another condo in my county. Just make sure when you move you

check out everything possible. I thought I had.

I would say, avoid houses that are in valleys or on the side of hills..

And also avoid buildings with flat roofs..

There should be a global GIS (geographical) database of mold issues..

sort of like a community memory for people to tell their mold

stories.. don't you think?

Perhaps he means on one side it would be like

being in a valley, rain water coming down onto

house, i.e. best to have land sloping away on all

side, although that threw me at first too.
