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].
