I had water leak for who knows how long, but this past weekend I found out it was pretty bad. I tore down the drywall in our dining area and found water dripping from a copper pipe that was connected to the other side of the room for our guest bathroom. I am now waiting on insurance adjuster to come take a look since it looks like entire wall has black mold damage. I had ripped off entire wall on dining area side, and took it outside. But did not touch the bathroom side of the wall since it has expensive tile attached to it, and also wanted for adjuster to take a look at damage as much as possible. Of course I took tons of photos as I was tearing down the dry wall. NOW, what can I do as far as temporary to avoid being sick from it. Should I turn on AC or off AC and windows open with fan? any suggestion please! Thank you so much~!!

We are selling our trailer home and we want to fix it up a bit. We have black mold in the ceiling, and we want to get rid of it, without totally ruining the ceiling. Can anybody tell me how to do this? Or give me any tips on how to do it? Thanks!
We had a professional come in and do an estimate, but the price was really high. We don’t want to just cover it up, we want to remove it.

Hello,
Does anyone know how can you kill mold (it is not toxic black mold) in your basement/attic? I have heard that bleach will not kill it, rather just die it a lighter color so that you cannot see it. Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I know there’s mold remediation places out there, but we wanted to try to do it ourselves, first. The mold in the basement is not up to the first floor or the rafters, just on lower part of the cement wall.
