My
new home: July 2004
In
May of 2003 I had my house tested for mold. They found
several mold types Aspergillu, Penicillium, Ascospores,
Cladosporium some of them extremely harmful. I’m
not sure if the mold was a contributing factor to my
health problem however, I’m sure it hasn’t
been helping.
 April
2003 we started the process of removing the mold. I
was very lucky that this was covered under my homeowner
insurance policy. My policy covered 100 percent as long
as the source of the mold was caused by water. They
discovered the source was an undetected leaky roof over
the guest bedroom and the laundry room. Apparently this
had been going on for years. The water ran behind the
sheet rock into the basement, from that the mold started
to grow on the paper of the insulation, then on the
sheet rock.
Everything had to be removed and treated
including all the sheetrock, insulation, right down
to the frame. All the exposed wood was treated. They
removed all the insulation in the house, and treated
the basement and attic. This process took four months.
