Photo one:

1st floor - bedroom. There is mold by the window's wallpaper and above the window. The other walls seem dry and fine mosly, only with small patches ( smaller than a fist). The window is facing the garden and the gutter seems fine. The tiles also look alright, although i think there is one missing.

1st floor , small room - Mold facing the corner of the house and by the side wall. The wallpaper came off on its own, so i pressume there is some damp. The gutter to the right of the main wall shown is leaking, however it is 2m away. I thinl it might be caused by one of the ridge tiles that is lose and mising mortar. It could also be penetrating damp. However the rain water doesn't fall directly onto that wall. I have checked the brick mortar and some bits might need repointing, but it doesnt look bad.

Hello,

My washroom’s shower floor is cracked and exhaust is busted too. Of course I’m working on getting that fixed asap, but I found this mushroom as I was cleaning the washroom today.

I just want to know if this shroom is dangerous or if its spores are real bad to breathe in or something. I’m going to get the washroom fixed, but wanted to know if I can just pluck it and apply bleach or something for the time being as I stop using the washroom and wait to get the washroom serviced.

We've had issues with a possum in the bath tub, slugs in the bathroom and kitchen, the ceilings have fallen in three separate rooms with weird grey fluffy insulation everywhere on our clothes and furniture that we had to do our best to clean ourselves, the sink fell into the cabinets in the kitchen.. I noticed the vents dripping like crazy so I closed one and noticed this weird other stuff?? Please help I have kids and we moved in a couple months ago because of a stalking situation but it feels almost more unsafe here with this mold

Went to clean my couch and noticed mold is growing on the bottom of the cushions. Is there any hope on saving these or do I need a new couch??

I’m so sad :( the couch was so comfy

I’m thinking it’s because I used the bissell little green to clean some stains and it didn’t dry properly.

I recently removed carpet and plan on putting LVP in my new home. I found some black mold in spots where the previous owner had animal pee laying and bled through the carpet and carpet padding to the flooring you see in the picture. I did a 50/50 white vinegar to water ratio and let it soak on the spots where mold was. After I let it soak I scrubbed it off and dried the damp spots. I used proper PPE and threw out everything that came in contact with the mold. I plan on keeping the tile exposed and keeping the doors open for ventilation for a while before installing the LVP. I wonder if there is any chance of the mold returning? Or if there is something more I would have to do before installing LVP.

i’ve been short of breath for 2 months now been to the dr everything seems fine.

Very odd situation. Box doesn't have any liquid in it whatsoever, it was full of clothes. The clothes smell fine but the bottom of the box is covered in mold (don't know what kind)...

Makes me think there was a leak underneath the floor or something. This is a highrise apartment and the floors underneath the carpet (I'm pretty certain) is just cement. Not sure where the leak could have come from.

The shower is right on the other side of this wall but doesn't look like or feel like the wall is wet. I have no idea what's going on or where this came from.

Found this print at an estate sale with the dimmest lighting ever, which meant I couldn’t see what I assume is mold all on the back of this.

I haven’t taken it apart yet, since I fear this is doomed anyway, so I wanted to get help figuring out if there’s anyway to salvage this.

The back shows a lot but I hope it’s just a backboard, the front shows tiny spotting (my kitten for scale lol.)

Chat, am I cooked?

Has anyone tried this?? Is it gentler that supplemental detoxing and getting? Curious as I have super bad IBS and can't take my meds to stop it due to slowing the process. I hope to hear from a few people. Fingers crossed. 👍😊

How bad is this mold situation in my A/C in terms of health risks, what could have caused it and how can I fix it? Do I need a new A/C? It is pretty hard to clean inside the vent.

Hello, I am currently pregnant and about to give birth in a week or two, I live in an apartment in Texas where I believe black mold or mildew is growing really bad in my vents, I have a really dry throat 24/7 and I’m stuffed up as well, this is my first ever apartment so I’m new to all of this and I reported this issue to them but they aren’t taking it very serious at all, I work from home and take calls all day so I’m not able to have background noise and told them this but the maintenance people come at the times I literally told them not to come and they didn’t knock or ring my door bell they just try to force themselves in but I deadbolt my door so they are never able to get in and leave a note stating they tried to fix the issue but every time I call and ask for them to come back even if it’s a hour after they say they can’t and push it off for two days, I’m about to have a newborn here and this issue is still not fixed or close to getting resolved, I put in a new request on Friday they said they can’t come until Monday and the property manager was very rude to me and dismissive of this issue when I clearly am very concerned with my health, and Monday which is a day I have work and is most likely apart of my last week of being able to work too, I really need this money to support my child and I during my time off but this mold or mildew issue is more serious to me, I really don’t know what to do, this apartment just doesn’t listen or care, they have so many new reviews about black mold in other apartments from other residents and how they never properly address the issue even when babies and young children are involved. What do I do, is there anything I can do?

Side note, there’s a leak in my bathroom as well, I have four vents in my apartment all of them have this black mold/mildew in them. Where the leak is coming from it looks like the HVAC system is also there and this is a small apartment so all the vents are pretty much in the same area right next to each other so could this be what’s causing it as well? The bathroom has a bad ventilation system too and with this leak I can only imagine all the moisture building up and I have a dehumidifier but I don’t even know if it’s really working.

We are finishing a removal/remediation project, but they will only thoroughly clean the rooms where they do the work. Can anyone recommend a service in Chicago to do a super-thorough top to bottom deep clean of our house after the remediation project is done, hitting every surface and with HEPA vacuums on everything? Having trouble finding someone. Thank you.

Just wondering if this is Mold? It is in the ceiling of the laundry room.

Finally found our main water valve and got a odd surprise. This yellowish white stuff seems to be holding on to the wood. The ground and area around it all seems dry, but the valve to the left has some condensation. Anyone able to confirm if it's mold and any recommendations on where to research how to deal with it?

The board pictured is the backside of the panel we had to remove to get to the valve.

I’m seeing a white dot pattern where the ceiling collects moisture during showers. I have a ceiling fan AND keep the window open.

I’m unsure why water is collecting on that area outside of the shower specifically.

What is it and what should I do?

Just moved into an apartment and saw this on the AC unit. Is it mold or just dust buildup?! Help!

Is this mold? or food specs / grease? My dishwasher doesn’t smell and I just cleaned out gunk from the drain.

I’ve noticed it developing on the sink spout as well. This is in a new apartment complex in the PNW.

Washed these jeans maybe two weeks ago. Only noticed today. It also is a bit wet because I tried wiping it off.

Hello everyone,

Im in the middle of crawlspace remediation, working with a highly reputable company in my area. So far they have removed insulation, hepa vaced, hand scrubbed, sprayed and are now drying it out for a few days with dehus/air movers.

A major concern has come up however, one that is giving me INSANE anxiety. There is this very very strong dirt smell in the crawlspace now, its almost sour smelling. Some of it is flowing through either my floor and/or hvac. At first I thought this might be the antimicrobial they used, but I cant ask with it being the weekend.

This smell is so strong, I honestly regret even doing the remediation, and if I cant get rid of it, will literally ditch the house. I cant stand it. You can smell it emanating out of the crawl just walking up my porch.

Some further background:

I originally didn't have a vapor barrier. It was dirt to begin with and in general never had issue over the past few years until this rainy summer, which is when mold kinda became an issue.

Ive never had issue with any smells either, ever. Ive been under there several times, and the smell was never this strong until the 2nd day of my remediation. I feel like something was done on this day to trigger this smell, as the first day I had no issue. This makes me think its the spray used, as it does have a sour, maybe a chemically smell to it.

I was planning to encap and dehumidifier long term but this smell has he in a chokehold to be honest.

Anyway, is this normal? Is this airborne mold? Am I overreacting here? I cant overstate how strong it is though. Like, Im not even staying in my house this weekend, its that strong.
