Eliminating the Cause of Mold
Mold remains a serious issue in many condominiums in hot, humid climates. In an effort to resolve mold problems, a moldy condo unit may be completely gutted of nearly everything and then rebuilt with dry materials. Very expensive and very disruptive. Thereafter, for a while, the condo may look and smell like a brand new unit...because the wet materials are gone, replaced by dry materials. But unless the cause of the mold problems (moisture entry and saturation) is corrected, the mold will return without fail. Rarely do mold remediators look for or correct the source of moisture that created the mold problems...except for the obvious ones. It is not unusual for some moisture/mold sources to have been cleverly concealed by their installers.
- Does the Condo Smell Moldy?
- Do Occupants have Respiratory Complaints, Asthma, Allergies,
Rashes, Itchy, Burning Eyes?
- Does Mold Keep Coming Back?
- Has the Condo become Hard to Sell because of moldy odors that cannot be covered up?
ERV Warning: A
$10,000.00 "Moisture Dumb" Energy Recovery Ventilator Radon Mitigation
System. This beautifully installed high mold risk radon
mitigation system can easily and quickly go out of control and increase
indoor relative humidity without warning. Nothing will
stop it from creating severe mold problems in this multimillion dollar
condo unless the owners or occupants sense the increasing humidity and
mold problems and act before it is too late. They
probably do not realize and have not been told that the ERV must be
manually turned off. Since this super deluxe home is
unoccupied most of the time, a $250.000.00 mold remediation may be
required. Remarkably, the radon mitigator who installed this beautiful
system has diversified and is now performing mold remediation. CLICK for
more photos and text why this installation is dangerous to the owner's
bank account and health. Unfortunately, blame for mold problems
following ERV installations in Hot, Humid climates is usually and
wrongfully blamed on the air conditioning system.
