Today, I'm still not living in the house I fought so hard to buy three months ago. As I was fixing a hole in the wall, I found black mold covering the back side of my drywall. On every wall. I can't afford to fix it. FML

Sorry to hear your house burned down. Hope you can get a nice replacement with the insurance money. Oh, it hasn't happened yet? Shhhhhhh!

Did you not have it inspected before you bought it? If not, you deserve it.

Buy a hazardous material suit from Home Depot, and a mask(These are not expensive). Then all you need to do is put plastic around the contaminated area to keep the mold secured. Then knock down the drywall and place it in plastic and dispose of it per your cities regulations. You don't need drywall to live in the house. Fix it as time goes by and you can afford to.

You can sue the home inspector. In our state, you have one year from the date of purchase to sue them and then the statue of limitations kicks in. Home inspectors carry insurance specifically for these situations.

Sue for not informing you about that.

I know everyone commenting on the internet hates science, but here goes anyway. There has bever been any scientific evidence that this mold is harmful to you. Some lawyers convinced a jury in a case one time, and now everyone has to deal with it legally. But again, no actual scientific evidence was needed, just a simple coorelation between some kids getting sick and there happening to be black mold in a house. The more is was studied, the less it looked like mold was the cause of the suckness, and no real evidence has ever been found despite a massive amount of time and energy spent trying to produce such evidence. If I were you, I would go ahead and move in.

There's a Forensic Files episode on black mold and how it slowly deteriorated a whole families brains while they were living in a black mold infested house. Watch it if you want some proof that black mold is harmfull.

They had a virus is the logical medical explination, not mold. I'm sure the producers thought an unidentified virus was a little less sexy than black mold.

That's why you get it inspected, you cheap bitch.

Just because mold is black doesn't mean it's the dreaded "black mold", aspergillus. You can get a test kit at any big box home store and find out. If it's no big deal, find the source of water that's allowing it to thrive and address it. Problem solved. If it's aspergillus.. same drill but add "sue the seller", and try to not die or anything.

bleach fights off mold, also you have to let it dry out somehow

Shouldn't there be documents in place for this time of thing before purchasing? That sucks. I am sorry!

Real estate agent here. Number one: how did that pass inspection? Because black mold has an obvious smell! And number two, I'd start talking to a lawyer about this.
