The mold is not visible yet but I have a really good idea where it is growing. And the apartment is always damp and water is leaking into it in several locations whenever it rains.

How do you tell the difference in black mold and mildew? The contractor is saying I’m a troublemaker,?

I’ve been telling the owner where I live and work that I have black mold, which, the sheetrock behind all the walls, which black has come through the walls, and everytime it rains, which this has been going on for over 6 months, my house is flooded, and the baseboards have just fallen off, ect..covered in black speckled mold, is this black mold or mildew. He says it’s mildew, but, this has been going on for such a long time, he hasn’t seen it, he’s going by what the contractor who has taken over six months to find the leak, and the owner is siding with what the contractor says, and I’ve gotten repiratory infections twice, stay on antibiotics, and my sinuses/allergies are so bad, which I take meds year round for arn’t helping the pain in my face, thus, my dr. doesn’t know anything else to do but send me to an ear, nose and throat dr. The owner says, that there is pollen in the air, which I know that, but, take meds for that and my meds arn’t working, & can’t keep taking antibiotics.

Mabel asked:


I have black mold in my apartment. I cant get the landlord to have it removed. They sent someone to deal with it. but he only sprayed something on that he said would kill it. He didn’t remove the wood which is still covered in black mold. I think the mold is what is keeping me sick all the time. I have dry mouth and throat and nose. I have high blood pressure and confusion .I also have weakness all the time. I would move but cant afford to right now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
