Plumbing
Problem, Water Leak, Black Toxic Mold, and Cancer
Q.:
I am a student at a school district in which
3 teachers have recently died because of cancer, and one other who was just diagnosed. One of
my teachers is now going in for a test on whether or not she has cancer, but I have reason to
believe that my school has black toxic mold growing in it. In the classroom of the teacher who
is being tested, there are visible wet marks in the corners and a musty smell all the time.
She experiences every symptom that would point to Black Toxic Mold, and our school also has
all the symptoms that would point there: musty smell, mold spots, bad plumbing, bad
circulation, leaks. I am extremely worried about the health and safety of the students and
teachers. Do you know who I should go to in order to have it checked out and removed? Please
help. I am desperate.
A.: You ought to provide the
details about the visible wet marks, the constant musty smell, the bad plumbing problem and
water leaks, the cancer deaths and illnesses, as well as suggest the need for professional
mold and environmental inspection and testing to all of the following parties: (1) certified
letter to all officers of your school's parent teacher association or organization; (2)
certified mail to each and every school board member; (3) certified mail to both the principal
and school superintendent; (4) copies of said letters to all of your local newspapers, radio
stations, and TV stations; (5) copies of the letters to your city, county, and state health
department; and (6) copies to the closest office of the U.S. Occupational and Safety
Administration [OSHA] because workplace mold is a serious employer offense for which your
school district can be investigated and heavily fined. Although the commonly found mold
aspergillus can cause cancer, you also need environmental inspection and testing as well as
for mold because the environmental cancer threat could be a non-mold problem such as cancer
causing radon.
Certified Mold Inspectors
can provide both mold testing and environmental testing.
Mold Litigation, Mold Problem, and Mold Insurance
Q.: What about the retreat
of insurance companies from covering mold problems?
A.:
The fast-growing mold remediation industry will survive the insurance company retreat from
covering mold problems, and continue to flourish, for a number of reasons:
Even though insurance companies may state that a
policy has no mold coverage or only a limited amount of mold coverage, if the policy provides
for coverage in the event of roof leaks, water line breaks, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. that
can directly cause mold infestation, plaintiffs attorneys will often be very successful in
making insurance companies pay for mold that directly results from specifically insured water
intrusion sources.
The liability of mortgage lenders for mold coverage when they finance properties containing
existing mold infestation is a rapidly-growing source of mold remediation funds. Again, you
can thank the legal profession for this because mold litigation is the hottest,
fastest-growing lawsuit field today with thousands of attorneys pursuing mold cases actively
as plaintiff's counsel.
When home residents get real sick from mold infestation, many will find a way to pay for their
mold remediation, including such financial strategies as: (a) getting a second mortgage
against their home equity; (b) borrowing from their local credit union or other loan sources;
(c) borrowing funds from friends and relatives; and (d) selling their investment assets,
second car, boat, RV, other personal property, etc.
Mold remediation of office buildings, commercial
buildings, schools and other government buildings, retail stores, warehouses, and industrial
buildings is very financially feasible for business and governmental owners of such
non-residential buildings. Commercial mold remediation will be a multi-billion dollar market
yearly just by itself. There exist several effective, low-cost, secondary mold remediation
procedures that can be used when money is a problem in mold remediation.
Mold Training
Certification
Q.:
Will my P.C.I. mold training and
certification program enable me to work in my own state as a Certified Mold Inspector and
Certified Mold Remediator, etc.?
A.:
Your P.C.I. training and certification enable you to do mold inspection, mold testing, and
mold remediation in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and all U.S. territories. Your
prospective clients will appreciate your training and certification and hire you because of
it. At the present time, NO state licenses mold inspectors and mold remediators. You need to
establish yourself as a mold inspector and mold remediator right now so that you will be
"grand-fathered in" [protected as an existing mold professional if your state ever does
license mold inspectors and mold contractors]. |
