In mold fight, state must lend a hand
The Chandlers spent four years, much of their time and all of their money fighting to be compensated for their unlivable home... Holidays came and went; years passed, and the Chandlers were still locked in a legal battle with the insurance company, trying to get justice for themselves and their kids. And at the end of the battle, at the end of four years of court fights, of homelessness, of watching their children suffer, the Chandlers are still without the one thing that started this in the first place: a home. |

Habitat house demolished after mold problem found
Mary and Darin McHenry watched Thursday as demolition workers scooped up debris from what once was their home and piled it into a big truck to haul it away... Habitat officials decided it would be less expensive to have it demolished and a new manufactured home moved in than to fix the problems. Bad breaks and mistakes have left Habitat officials with a big bill and an even bigger disappointment: the gift of a good Samaritan turned into a pile of boards and crumbled drywall.

$650,000 settlement in Madison school mold case
The lawsuit claimed that the company that built the school allowed the mold to grow during construction. After the problems showed up, the school was closed, torn open, cleaned and reconstructed to rid it of mold in many classrooms. An investigation found that damp interior walls and other moisture problems had been allowed to go unchecked, leading to mold along ceiling tiles, baseboards and other parts of the building. |

A California Builder’s Guide to Reducing Mold Risk
The research project which generated this report is titled “Energy-Efficient Mold-Resistant Building Materials and Construction Practices for New California Homes.” The project resulted from a concern that mold in residential construction has become a prominent public issue in recent years, and that mold problems may have implications for energy consumption. The people of California funded this project under the PIER program (Public Interest Energy Research), which is administered by the California Energy Commission on their behalf.

Beware of Mold - Investor Sells HUD Condemned House |
|
Wednesday, 12 April 2006 |
Before buying a home, check for mold
Rubdie now has fans, dehumidifiers, and air purifiers throughout the house to try to cut down on the moisture and mold. Meanwhile, she says, "I received an anonymous HUD listing in the mail and it said this house had been condemned. It said there was no admittance to the property because of toxic mold." In the year since HUD found the toxic mold, the house was sold twice before Rubdie bought it. During that time it was gutted and fixed up but wetness in the concrete slab apparently remains. That moisture causes mold growth inside the walls that rest on the concrete. |

Governor's Mansion Mold Cleanup Should Have Cost Much Less
RALEIGH, N.C. -- The multimillion-dollar project to rid North Carolina's governor's mansion of mold has wrapped up, but an NBC-17 investigation found the state was slow to fix the problem and knew about it years ago. Next to the Biltmore Estate, the governor's mansion is probably North Carolina's second most famous home. But, the treasure was pretty much trashed just a few months ago. |

Mold spawning litigation
Mold litigation is more than a decade old, but it picked up steam after 2000. A spate of high-profile cases and large awards attracted media attention, which in turn created public awareness leading to more litigation... The largest recent case concluded in October 2005 in California when a lumber company settled with a plaintiff for $13 million. That combined with settlements from co-defendants brought the case's total to $23 million. In 2003, a class-action suit in Washington state against a paint maker ended with a $55 million settlement for 5,000 state residents and a $107.5 million settlement for national members of the class. |
