Message: [QUOTE="Greedo, post: 4423009, member: 9992"] I moved into my house like a year and a half ago. When we moved in we knew there was mold in the attic but went ahead because of where the housing market was at the time. I posted a thread about it back then, but didn’t get much help. After moving in and realizing the house had a bad humidity problem we had the whole house tested. I ended up tearing the carpet out of two bedrooms myself to save money, but we also found mold in our finished basement. The mold in the attic and basement were the toxic black kind. We had the attic treated and coated, parts of the basement torn out, and treated and coated. The basement had a smell before and now the smell is gone. We had some walls and a ~15 foot built in wood cabinet torn out of the basement. All in it cost us about $9,000. Keep a few things in mind. I have two small children. We went through this a year and a half ago. They’re both fine. I remember finding that the CDC actually doesn’t say any type of mold causes harm. Or something like that. Look up what the CDC says. Make sure the company you hire does it right. That means tearing out where it needs to be done and then coating the area. It should all be “painted” white. They should also use plastic with an air tight vacuum and hepa vac to keep other areas of the house free from mold spores. When they start it will kick up spores everywhere. The previous owner of my house claimed they remediated the attic and had receipts, but everyone that came said they didn’t do jack and the attic still tested off the charts. They did some plant based junk in there and called it remediation. Everything should be white when they’re done to seal it. [/QUOTE]
