Hi,
how do I go about learning what needs to be done, in order to have my house
tested for mold?
my son and I are repeatedly getting ill, and I honestly don't think there's a
problem, but since we can see, it's better to be sure than not.

Looking for some ideas, education, etc on a subject I know
little of. I might be interested in getting a light duty
nail gun for some upcoming projects I'm anticipating. Here
are my questions to start the thread.
Are there 18 volt Ryobi battery options that would dove tail

The last place you should go is a company that also fixes the

It seems there is always some kind of nail gun or compressor as a special.
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
If you are going to use the gun sparingly, Harbor Freight might be a good place

Thanks RJ,
I will look at this later tonight.
Right now, I'm trying to complete some work, and then, I have to go hom and
tend to my sick child, so I'll probably take a look at this, once he's asleep.
Thanks again.

The only thing I know about those purification systems is they clamed to
filter out the spoors of mold. I think I remember reading something about
this on the Consumer Reports web site about this topic but that was several
years back. You might try them anyway.

If you don't see or can't smell any mold, I'd just have my basement walls
painted with water-proofing paint and buy a dehumidifier. Simple but
inexpensive insurance.

What do you mean by forced air?
I'm not sure.
We have a heating and cooling system, in one; we have vents, and the duct work
is all in the basement. I'm thinking that this is forced air?
The vents are floor-level, and the filters are just the kind you slide in and

When we had the basement gutted, due to the water damage, they did paint the

Mold can grow in places even a sighted person can't see. Such as inside
walls and especially air conditioner evaporators and ducts.

OK,
that is a for forced air system. You can have electronic filters installed
which catch all sorts of small particles like mold spores and pet dander and
