Post move madness... literally...

So we got moved into our new place on Friday and are so happy to be out of the "compound". Except now we find ourselves experiencing a new kind of dilemma... Mold... Has anyone had any experience with mold in their homes? We have a utility closet in the basement that has a clogged drain with a pool surrounding the drain and mold growing in the pool. Our landlord is telling me that all homes have mold in them but mold like this? I can understand mold from your bathroom like mildew or something similar or even the mold on the bread in your kitchen. But mold growing in your basement? We decided that we'd get a mold detection kit and see what the results were. Once we wait 48 hours I'll post some pictures of the mold by then we should have something growing on the little peetree dish... (spelling on peetree?)

technically... all homes have mold, particularly in the air ducts...

but in this case...

i'd probably clean that up asap... thats just my idea.

Yah, homes aren't SUPPOSED to have mold, and it can be very dangerous...especially for your little man. The health dept can help, just call and ask them what/where/who/how. I would take it very seriously...
