I guess it’s different in different areas, most of the houses here copper is run in the attic although I don’t think most people are using copper anymore it’s all pex now I think. I have seen a lot of leaks from pipes running up through the concrete that were not sleeved properly.
this is a bit hard to understand for a couple reasons....
This^^^
Sheetrock was exposed to show all the wet studs etc. There was a vanity on the other side of the wall that was not removed at the time. The mold remediation says there was no mold and said all we needed at the time were some heaters and dehumidifiers. They half ass tarp the area and throw the heaters in there. They also say say they sprayed something to like bleach to kill anything. The heaters blow for 4 days blowing that nasty moldy smell throughout the house. They come pick up their equipment and say we're good to go to put drywall up. About 2 hours after they left I get in there and start looking around and find pretty obvious signs of mold. Pretty sure they are going to be sued the contractor who is responsible.
The first one did not. The company that is doing the work now has already had an outside company test twice and is testing again next week. The tests showed positive for mold although I'm waiting to hear back exactly what they showed.
BTW...we are changing the meaning of Grads from Gay to Fucked UP.Just a fyi. There is zero legal standard on what is and is not safe. So trying to sue over mold is a extremely hard thing to do. Now suing becuase some one fucked up, is a lot eaiser. Also duct cleaning flat out does not work.
What do you suggest?
I've tried to remind myself that many times this week.
A good hepa filter and run the thing at a high temp.
See post #16.
Granted I'm just looking at pics from a couple thousand miles away rather than being on site but I just can't shake the feeling something else is going on here. I get that the carpenter caught the piping with a nail but that could have happened to anyone especially given how the copper appears to have been run. I just hope he isn't going to take a hit for something that was beyond his control.
The water was running for about two and a half weeks.
Keep in mind the house is 41 years old. How should the copper have been run down the wall?
Again, based solely on the pics it appears to have been run too close to the outer face of the top plate. Add to that the lack of protection and you have the potential for a problem. I've run my share of trim over the last 29 years and always made the effort to ensure I was nailing in alignment with wall studs or rafters but in the end I for one don't have X-ray vision and sometimes shit just happens.
I wouldn't shit on his doorstep. He'd probably get off on it.
Huh? I don't get it? I went to Tahoe to escape the house before the mold remediation started.And what did "YOU" do about it?
Oh yea... went to Tahoe.....
DUMBFUCK...
I'm sorry but I'm not a mold expert. I got the out of the house and waited for the experts to show up and take care of it. Still don't understand what you're getting at.
No I relied on "experts".
God forbid you took a little bit of responsibility to ensure your and your family's home was actually safe, instead of relying on others.No I relied on "experts".
I'm guessing you've never seen how mold remediation is done.
Nah bro. Never ever.
Pump da brakes big shoots........
Freaking jet boaters....
No, fuckstick....Thank you everyone for your expert opinions.
