The Mold Problem Continues

Update on our mold problem:


We had our restoration company come out to get started on our mold problem. Of course they discovered a bigger problem once they took down the wall. I shouldn't have been surprised, this problem has been going on for 6 years, but it still put our clean up to a halt. Because of the position of the mold and the amount of the damage, we needed to involved Rocky Mountain Power to complete the job. Let me explain. Where the mold is located, is shares a wall with the outside where the sprinkler system was. It is 'thought' that the sprinklers not only created a pool at the bottom that allowed water to seep into the house but the sprinklers were also hitting the Rocky Mountain utility box outside and allowing water in that way too. Once this was discovered, the workers said the mold was all the way to the siding, meaning they need to start working for the outside-in. To do this we need to have the utility box removed. This means we had to involve Rocky Mountain who has to notify all the people effective by the power shut off (because we need to have the power shut off to do the work). So this put us out 2 weeks before Rocky Mountain can come help. I hope everything is put together before little Miss Hannah arrives.

Here is our mold problem. You can see the wall where is it. The sheet rock is on the floor (so it looks like it is on the floor but it is not, this use to be against the wall)

Here is the mold after the installation was removed. It is all the way to the siding and the mold is making the siding crumble.

The current state of our living room. We have a contamination section that was put up and the blue machine is recycling our air on a 24/7 bases.

Upon seeing our living room, my sister said she felt like she was in a horror film. The living room has a 'meat locker' feel she said. :)
