Wall Mold
Questions
Q. I have just noticed dark
shadows going down my walls every two feet that were never there before. We
have had four hurricanes this past summer, Charlie, Frances Ivan and Jeanne.
When I made my claim to my insurance adjuster I did not notice any of this
so I do not know if it was there then or not. My son who sleeps in this room
has been having headaches for the last couple of months. He has never had
headaches before this time. His room has two exterior walls and the shadows
from the floor to the ceiling every two foot is only on the inside of the
exterior walls not the interior walls. Is there any inexpensive way of
knowing for sure weather this is mold or something else? [Feb. 7, 2005]
A. The
dark shadows in the walls are large amounts of mold growth in and behind the
walls on which you see the dark shadows. Your son's health problems arise
because our family is living in a mold-infested home. Mold testing of your
house will document the serious mold health threat. A
Certified Mold Inspector can use fiber optics inspection to look inside
the walls and ceilings of your home for mold infestation. Read
mold inspection and
mold testing suggestions. You would be wise to move to a mold-safe place
to live until your home can be effectively mold decontaminated. Learn the 25
steps for safe and effective
mold remediation. |
