There are many mold remediation horror stories that underscore the importance of hiring trained professionals.
In one story, a homeowner was looking to sue a company that botched the entire job. They settled on the company that could come out to the house the fastest because they were feeling sick. However, the crew did the job equally as fast, without regard for proper protocol.
They did not seal the affected room or clean any of the furniture before moving it into another room. Their “treatment” involved spraying a “mold-eating enzyme” spray on the wall and leaving a dehumidifier running for a few days. Any homeowner could have easily taken these steps himself! They came back a few days later to spray heavy duty chemicals on the rotted wood, but it was no use.
The homeowner tore out all the wood, studs and flooring to get rid of the black
mold himself. He writes: “They put my family at risk due to their lack of proper containment procedures and further contaminated my home with other strains of mold AND never came back to finish the job!”This terrible mold remediation horror story is all too common.
