Black Mold

Confused asked:


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.

TECRSE asked:


There is rapid growth of black mold in the bathroom of our rental house (we are tenants) and we have contacted the landlords several times about it but they have done nothing. How serious is this to our health and is it worth breaking the lease over? I love the house/location but we have 10 months left on the lease and that’s a long time to stick it out.

Also, hiring a lawyer is not in my budget…
I was hoping for a little more details than “very”…thanks.

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!
