RE: Help: Serious indoor mold problem
Peggy, as you probably know mold needs moisture in order to grow. One part of our house is built very close to the hillside and we have a dampness problem and there can be both black mold on the sheetrock and a musty odor as a result. We can't get behind our stone walls to control the dampness oozing from the rock. But there is a way to control the problem even if it can't be solved. There are several moisture absorbing products in the local market. One is called Damp Rid. These are white crystals that you put in sort of a colander that hags over a receiving basket. The crystals absorb the moisture from the air and it drips down into the container. Before setting this up I dried out the space as much as I could by letting an electric space heater run for a few hours. To further control odor after getting the moisture extraction going I use activated charcoal disks. I'll edit this post by tomorrow to add a link to the activated charcoal site - its in the US. I have not been able to find it[in small quantities] here.
