Bain Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I agree that all the hysteria regarding mold is largely unfounded, but check out what I saw in a crawlspace earlier today. Every fixture in the bathroom was leaking into the crawlspace, and the water-heater flue pipe was discharging into the cellar/crawlspace---so I suppose that's where the moisture came from that allowed the mold to flourish. I was reminded of Mike's "Name That Rot," thread several months ago in which the villain was some polysyllabic organic material that I'm too dopey to remember.

Brian G Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Whew! John my man, downsize those puppys before posting them next time. I'd say there's definitely a problem or two there. [] Moisture for sure, with structural concerns thrown in as a result. Those situations are usually a mess to sort out in a RE transaction too. How much damage is there, what's going to be repaired and what's going to be replaced, exactly what do you do about the mold, etc., etc., etc. Then half of the time your client wants you to check it all out when the work is supposed to be done. Not fun, these things. Brian G. Can't Figure Out How to Get a Living Out of Fun [:-irked] www.accuspecllc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi, You're probably thinking of Poria Incrassata (brown rot) and what you have there looks very much like Poria as opposed to "mold". OT - OF!!! M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I know nothing about poria, Mike, but I'll take a look at the previous thread I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
