We bought a house in Nov 2018, and when doing the pre-move in renovations, we discovered mold in the subfloor under the upstairs bathroom floor. It was all removed, as far as we know, and cleaned with bleach. When the electricians put in inset lights in the kitchen they discovered the drywall had been wet. We told him about the floor upstairs, and he felt we did enough.
I live in Northern Cal, and winter is usually wet, from Nov-Feb/Mar, and the entire rest of the year is dry, except for the overnight fog. Until this year, we didn’t have AC. We used fans, as they were sufficient. But the wild fires in recent years had us thinking - because of the allergies to trees & grasses (which is what burns in wildfires) and the fires in recent years, we bought an new furnace / AC unit. With this recent flare, I’m not out of the house much, and the recent heat 95-115° had me huddled inside.
I am feeling worse & worse the more I’m inside, but hurt so much leaving is rough. We are now wondering - could I be reacting to mold that we haven’t found yet? Anyone know how/where to get testing? I don’t even know where to start.
