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~!!

Is there an at home test for black mold? How do you test your home and yourself?

I’ve been sick for a very long time and no one seems to know why after all sorts of test were run. The more I hear about black mold I’m really starting to wonder about that. I have no health insurance and was wondering if there was any at home tests that I could do, for myself and for my home? Any information could help – thanks!

The was a fire on the 3rd floor last week, and I live on the 1st floor of the condo. We just had insurance people come by the other day to have them to check out damages. Most of water leakage happened in the laundry room, and through out the inspections, they found black mold underneath the tile. We don’t know how bad it is yet and how long it’s been there. But the insurance companies(homeowner’s & buiding insurance)told me that they dont cover mold. They also said that they won’t even touch the area where the mold is and we really need to fix up the damges from the fire. What do I need to do? Do I have the contractor hire someone for the mold inspection? My neighbors are urging me to get somebody out right away to check out the mold. How much would this cost out of my pocket? I need some help.
