#799 - 03/16/05 01:25 AM How can I be sure mold is prevented?
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Mold was clearly identified during inspection today in the basement of a new construction I need to close on by 3/31. I'm expecting written inspection reports in the morning and it appears as if the builder will work with me. Provided that the builder covers the professional clean-up, how can I be sure that the problem is truly taken care of (and not say, lurking in the hvac) and won't re-appear in a few months? I do have allergies and was definitely affected after spending 20 minutes in the affected area. The inspector recommended a dehumidifier and a battery backup on the sump pump after the problem is solved for prevention. At this point, I'm wondering if I should just walk away (contract permitting), losing a 5K downpayment, but avoiding a potentially larger problem. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Clearance meaning that the home is free of mold. We actively purchase homes with mold problems and take the clearance test seriously. MAKE SURE THAT THE CLEARANCE IS DONE BY A THIRD PARTY NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMEDIATOR! ------------------ Jimmy McDonald http://www.StartRemodeling.com Jimmy@StartRemodeling.com http://www.ToxicMoldUSA.com McMoldMan@ToxicMoldUSA.com Jimmy McDonald ( RemodelingGuy) specifically assumes no legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information or process disclosed.
