Does anyone know anything about Black Mold?

We recently found black mold in my sons room on the bottom corner of his wall and floor and also in my dining room in a corner. During Hurricane Ike, our insulation under our house got wet. When we were able to get home and access the damage we found that all of the insulation under our double-wide was dripping wet. I was wondering since it didn’t appear the water got inside of my house, was the growth of the mold due to the wetness of the insulation? Also, if I saw the mold in the house is it possible to have it in the walls too? I am concerned about this problem because I am hearing how bad mold is for your health. My kids all have allergies and it seems to be worse now days. Is this due to the mold? I took pictures of all the mold that I can see saw I can show the insurance company, but we are having alot of problems with them. One adjuster came out and barley showed any concern for all of our damages. We need to re-level, roof damage, insulation needs to all be replaced and carpet is all bubbled up. I requested another adjuster to come out, but they are refusing to send me someone else. They also only paid me for a single-wide and not willing to change that. So now we have the mold issue and I really want to clean it up, so what do you think? Will the pictures be enough or should I wait until they decide to send someone out to my house?

We had a sewer gas problem and my dad said to buy a one way vent end to screw over the vent pipe in my home. Doesnt this need to be plastic welded? Also is this safe? My roof was leaking for a really long time and I got some black mold/mildew in spots and a boy who was on my roof went through the sheetrock. now i can see black specs on the insulation that is hanging down in my bathroom. I believe some of my insulation is mildewed but the roofers covered it up with plywood and the new roof. I got doulble pane windows and I cant get between them to clean the mold out of them. I am always tired get dizzy alot and have breathing problems. Everyone tells me its in my head. What do you think? please help.

I moved into my apartment in March of 06 and in June the carpets started to get flooded with water. Needless to say there was damage to the carpet and now their is mold growing on the carpet and walls. I have sent letters to the Management and they have had guys come out and clean the carpet and paint the walls without treating the problem. Also Their seems to be black mold growing in the bathroom. Their are holes in the walls where spiders and ants are comming thru. Also I didnt see this before. But there is black mold behind the toilet bowl. Looks like maintenance tried to cover up alot of damage in the apartment with paint and some wood. In the bathroom They painted on the walls so paint is comming off due to the humidity in the bathroom. and the apartments around me are completely abandoned. because of sever damage. Now I want to get out of my lease immediately I have a lawyer but I want to have someone come out and inspect the apartment. Who should I get in contact wit
