The place was alive with mold and now I'm sick.

I did and inspect on Monday and last night and all day today I’ve ran a fever and have a tremendous sore throat and my lungs hurt
I wore my respirator in the crawl , but that was the least of it all.
Here is a few pics. The walls pegged my moisture meter out.
Everything inside was covered with mold. The walls and carpet were wet.
The entire place was alive.
I guess I’ll be headed to the Doc for a Z pack .
My wife is pissed at me for not wearing it inside.
I’ve learned my lesson.

Wow, am I seeing that right?
99% Humidity? Time for the bulldozer!

Glad to here Roy! I have seen clients sensitive to Mold and get nose bleeds. It is common for some to never pull out and be messed up for life.

Where can you send them? The spore count might be higher outside. :shock:

Not necessarily the spore counts, but the spore types inside of the home. Aspergillius is commonly found when testing but it’s also a basic type with not too many harmful effects unless exposed to it for extended periods. Stachybotrys on the other hand could be what’s getting you, it’s a sticky spore that develops if the problem is extensive and it most likely was in that home for sure.

But the important part is definitely PPE!
