Mold removal from home?

bpsuit asked:


This morning the builder found a leak from a sprinkler in our home. This leak had been small and appears to have accumulated in the drywall for some time. This has cause the formation of mold (black in color).

What should we push them to do to insure our health, in terms of how much of the drywall should I have them replace?

    You do not push them to remove anything, you get a pro mold company to do it to make sure they get all of it. It could be hidden where the builder would never look. call 1-888-251-1672 and have a pro test it, if you get the builder to do it, he may get his people sick and open the door for litigation.

    When in doubt, get a pro, and you are already in doubt or you would not be asking questions on yahoo answers!
