Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4016619, member: 9260"] random observations. so, which is it? post 1: 'but it's only confined to that space and we can just take care of it there and be good.' inspector 1. post 1: 'Significant issue in basement.' inspector 2. i vote inspector 1, for these reasons: a) the original inspection for closing was presumedly done in, while not exactly typical times as jan-june this year was drier than average, and along with '[I]It was also clear the previous owner was extremely meticulous with maintaining the house - he has multiple binders maintaining records of everything he's done.[/I]..' i luv buying stuff from people like that, while, b) the subsequent inspection was done in, well, read it for urself [URL='http://www.nrcc.cornell.edu/services/blog/2021/07/16/index.html']A Wet Start to July (cornell.edu)[/URL], umm, like crazy wet, like 3 times average. i'd bet cash money that ur crib is somewhere in that dark green area. remediation? 1. relax, do nothing other than dump the basement carpeting and any other carpeting that you feel like cuz that stuff, unless it's 100% natural fiber, can be an issue when considering moisture, mold, etc... 2. 'I think a big issue with the humidity is just that the house is in the woods. It's completely surrounded with massive, old growth trees that I think are just capturing moisture and holding it there.' yes, yes indeedy. after a better knowledge of water around ur crib (maps, soil maps, etc etc are readily and freely available for ur place), an [I]intelligent [/I]analysis (sun locale, seasonal prevailing winds, soil, etc) for ur choking, moisture retaining, sun blocking canopy. cut some when a plan comes together. 'mold inspector said [B]he[/B] would tear out the whole basement down to the studs' if he also volunteers to pay for it, then listen. if he doesn't offer to pay for it, then throw him into those soon-to-be better managed woods, along with the basement carpeting. it sounds like a real nice house, basement fireplace, basement big windows and all that. not quite like that 'one hour martinizing is a crock' statement by saint cosmo of kramer fame, but pretty close when discussing that new 'everything is mold' craze that's all the rage, especially for the clipboard carrying crowd that likes to send out bills for their 'superior intellects.' when exactly was the house built?
