Thanks Tom,
My son has seen an allergist who is board certified, and he did not test
positive for mold.
As far as the visual aspect, no one has seen anything around our walls, and I
certainly don't feel anything but the concrete.
I don't know what constitutes standing water for a long period!\
When our bastement had the water damage, it was all a nightmarish blur, so I
don't recall how long the water was there, before it began receeding.

I asked our tech who is a landlord and very practical.
He says if you have a place where water has stayed a lot and there is no
heat or air movement mold can become a real mess, but you can see, smell,
and even feel it on walls etc.
Any sighted person should be able to see if there is green or black stuff
where it shouldn't be.
Just a bit around windows that aren't opened too often is probably no big
deal.
My guess is that if you're place was clean after the water damage cleanup
and you have any reasonable amount of warmth and air movement, you're
probably fine
again, last thing to do is go to a mold removal and testing
company cause they will find it whether it's there or not.
Also don't go to doctors who specialize in mold or allergy testing
unless they are board certified allergologists
