| 1) do nothing, since the mold is in the attic, but fully disclose the problem, and put the house on the market "as is" at a reasonable price. |
| if its black mold, im going to create a real scare and then start up a black mold killing proprietorship! Sell your house first. But watch out, you can be sued for non disclosure of the situation later.. you cant kill the black mold by the way, some if it you can kill... but most of it, is spores spread all through the structure.. the place has to be torn down... if its all over the community... its a bad deal to build there... and it can spread./ |
| Anyway, its strange how the problem is mainly just on the sheathing on side of the attic (the side in which the roof has less exposure to sunlight). That side had a leak in one area around 9 years ago, before I had a new roof put on, so Im wondering if its possible that the mold there now is a result what happened back then, or perhaps the mold started growing back then but gradually got worse over the years. Right now its noticeable but doesnt seem really bad at this point although I fear it will get worse. |
| There are simple cures for black mold on the market, designed as palatives for those in denial or who dont want to loose their property value...but its really not a solution... you need study the mess in depth. And dont let anyone know you have the petri test dishes out. |
| The mold is mainly growing on the sheathing that is on the side of the attic in which the roof has less exposure to the sun. My attic has two vents toward the top of the roof, and two vents on the sides of the attic. Im skeptical that adding more vents would be of any real benefit. |
