Latest news - Buffalo Federal Courthouse Has Mold
The story of the Buffalo Federal Courthouse having mold is not new. What is new is that the clean-up will be handled by the installing contractor. The mold problem and related mold symptoms by employees has been sourced at improper installation (sealing) of drywall at the top and bottom.Why Is The Relevant?
There are thousand of contractors being hired daily. In addition to this there are thousands of unlicensed contractors doing licensed work. If a Federally vetted contractor such as this could make a mistake on a simple routine task, how much more can the lesser trained and unlicensed contractors be making the same mistakes.
This leads to tens of thousands and even more potential problems nationwide. Not in commercial building but in the homes of average citizens. This is relevant because people are exposed to risk. They believe they are "getting work done" but in reality they are risking their exposure to shoddy work, water damage, and the resulting mold problems.
Lesson To Be Noted.
The goal here is not lecture. But to make this a fact worthy of note. The contractor you hire is critical. Hiring "just anyone" to work on your home is not always a good choice. Of course, as in the news story, even the a Federally vetted contractor can make mistakes.
Watch work being completed. Be present for building inspections. Ask the contractor on things that do not "look right". If the contractor does not answer you, then ask the building inspector. In the end it is your home and your health you are safeguarding.
