FIRST MAKE SURE THEY ARE INSURED(SHOULD HAVE 1 MIL. AT LEAST,
BONED,ASK IF THEY HAVE BEEN SUED OR INVOLED IN ANY LIGATION-
PUT QUESTIONS & ANS. IN WRITING. WATCH, WATCH, WATCH. THEY
HAVE TO SEND TWO FORMS TO THE STATE-1) 5 DAYS AFTER THEY FIND
MOLD IN YOUR HOUSE THEY NEED TO TELL STATE AND AFTER
CLEARANCE THEY HAVE TO GIVE YOU &THE STATE A CERTIFICATE OF
CLEARANCE. THEY NEED TO PULL PERMITS. CLEAN & IF POSSIBLE ALL
AIR VENTS & DUCTS. DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T
WATCH THEM. MAKE THE COMPANY PROVIDED YOU WITH A SUIT AND
WATCH THEM. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. PACK OUT ALL OF THE HOUSE -
MAKE THEM- DONNOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. YOU INS. COMPANY MAY
WANT YOU TO EVEN HELP OR SUPERVISE - REFUSE - THAT'S WHAT YOU
HAVE INSURANCE FOR. MY HOUSE WAS REMEDIATED, THE INSURANCE
COMPANY LET THE REMD. COMPANY CHANGE MY LOCK'S SO THAT I
COULDN'T COME IN. THEN THEY PULLED OUT HALF OF MY HOUSE AND
PUT EVRYTHING OUTSIDE, WHICH THEN GOT STOLEN. NEITHER THE
INS. COMP. OR THE REMEDIATION COMPANY WANTS TO REPLACE THOSE
ITEMS. EACH SAYS THE OTHER ONE IS RESPONSIBLE. THEN THEY
DIDN'T REALLY CLEAN THE THINGS THEY SAID THEY DID. TAKE
BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PICTURES OF YOU HOUSE AND CONTENTS.
ASK ALOT OF QUESTIONS AND RESEACH. MAKE THE REMEDIATION
COMPANY AND/OR INSURANCE COMPANY TO DO EVERYTHING AND
DOCUMENT AND SIGN EVERTHING. YOU BEST DEFENSE IS YOU. IF
ANYONE IN YOUR FAMILY IS SICK GO TO A DOC. FAST BUT TAKE SOME
INFORMATION TO THE DOCTOR AS MANY DON'T KNOW WHAT BLACK MOLD
IS OR DOES. EVEN AFTER CLEARANCE I STILL AM NOT IN MY HOUSE
AFTER 3& 1/2 YRS. THE REM. TEAM LEFT ONE DIRTY AC FILTER IN
AND RE-CONTAIMED MY HOUSE. IF YOU SMELL SOMETHING, START
ITCHING, HAVE SINUS OR BREATHING PROBLEMS, IF YOU HEAD
HURTRTS OR YOUR EYES HURT,IF YOU HAVE SORES, RASHS OR ORAL
PROBLEMS,THEN YOU STILL HAVE MOLD. i'VE BEEN IN THE HOSP. 22
TIMES. GOOD LUCK - ASK AGAIN IF YOU NEED HELP AND BE
CAREFUL, THIS IS A PAINFULL PROCESS. YOUR THINGS CAN BE
REPLACED BUT YOUR LIFE CANNOT BE.
