GWINNETT COUNTY, GA (CBS ATLANTA) -

Fighting mold in Georgia is not an easy battle. It has caused one metro Atlanta family to get sick in their own home and they said their landlord has done very little to address the issue.

"We have no living room, we have no dining room. We can't even sit at the table to eat dinner. Water may come down on us if we try to," tenant Tiffany Pharr said.

So CBS Atlanta called on Heaton Environmental to investigate, after Pharr complained about the living conditions in their apartment.

She said a water leak at the apartment complex caused their ceiling to cave in twice during the past two months and management has only patched the problem.

Concerned the moisture would lead to mold, they bought a home test kit for about $10. They put one petri dish on the carpet, the other next to the hole in the ceiling. The results were shocking.

"We've all now been sick pretty much since this all happened with sneezing, runny nose, itchiness, all of us, all four of us," Pharr said.

Pharr said she asked management to move her family to another apartment to avoid exposure to the mold, but they told her only if she renewed her lease for a year.

"It's stressful and I'm pregnant and I shouldn't be going through this much stress while being pregnant," Pharr said.

Because petri dish results are unreliable, CBS Atlanta asked Heaton Environmental to run over $700 worth of air quality tests.

Mold forces Duluth family out of apartment, causes illness

Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 05, 2014

Bonaire was one of those areas hit by the flooding in Delray Beach in early January. And according to a report from wptv.com, the residents feared that the rise of water might have caused mold growth in their houses. In response to it, AGC Environmental advised everyone to have a Florida air quality testing done.

In the report, which was posted on January 31, 2014, Gloria Ahlman and Sharon Holland were identified as two of those residents who were greatly concerned of the possible mold presence. But while the suspicion prompted Holland to move out of her house, it shared that Ahlman was compelled to just endure it due to a financial difficulty.

Based on the report, the health effects of mold were the main sources of the people's concern over its possible presence. In the case of Ahlman and Holland, it relayed that it was particularly its impact on their lung problem and asthma respectively that they are worried about the spores' probable growth.

Below is an excerpt from the said report.

Signs of the water than swamped Gloria Ahlman's apartment are everywhere. A foot-high water line greets you at the front door.

"I would leave sooner, but I can't afford to do it," said Ahlman. "I don't know if there's mold. I have no idea what I'm living in. It's been a disaster trying to get things back to normal.

AGC Environmental said that mold infestation has many negative effects on health. Because of that, it said that its possible growth is indeed something to worry about.

However, it stated that there is a way to prevent those effects or at least keep them at a minimum. That way, it cited, is confirming the presence of the fungus early on via a mold inspection and air testing. With those methods, worrying unnecessarily is prevented if no mold is present and prompt remediation could be implemented if it is confirmed, it said.

Nonetheless, for a Florida air quality testing, AGC Environmental believed that it is the one that could provide the best service. And as it pointed out, it is for the reasons that its mold exterminators and consultants are certified experts and its processes follow the state's guidelines.

PEPPERELL -- Residents voted 83-31 at a Special Town Meeting Monday to appropriate $150,000 for mold remediation for the town's public-safety complex.

Combined with another $60,000 that was transferred from the Finance Committee's reserve account last month, the money will pay to clean up mold and replace the HVAC system in the building that houses the police, fire and communications departments.

"It's a safety issue that we have to make plans for," said Selectmen Chairman Stephen Themelis.

Town Administrator John Moak said the mold problem is partially a result of years of cutting maintenance budgets as the town tried to navigate through tough financial times.

"It's basically deferred maintenance that has happened over a decade that has let pipes sweat, and get into the wall board and things of that nature," Moak said. "That's part of the budgets that were cut back over the years."

Moak said the estimates for the project range from $180,000 to $210,000, but the town was asking for the higher amount to prevent a shortfall later.

"We can't come back to you if we're short, we need to keep going with the project. Hopefully it won't run that high," Moak said.

Although resident Phil Durno said the town should appropriate more than $150,000 in case costs rise once the project gets under way, Town Moderator Scott Blackburn said the amount of the appropriation couldn't be raised at Town Meeting.

Some residents raised concerns the mold remediation is an expensive but temporary fix for a building that is going to need major repairs.

Resident Justin Zink said the town should either completely renovate the public-safety complex or find the departments a new, permanent home.
