SAN DIEGO - A month after the January flooding, more and more flood victims are dealing with mold issues.That is what Joselin can be heard exclaiming in cellphone video Feb. 10, after discovering a mushroom on the bedroom wall of the rented San Ysidro home, where she lived with her 6-year-old son and elderly parents.The first signs of trouble surfaced some five days after the January flooding, with a ceiling leak in the living room.
“We have seen quite a few homes where the homeowners have not done anything to the property yet, because they’re trying to come up with a determination as to who’s paying for things. In those cases, we are seeing mold,” said Rainbolt. He says should professional help should be sought out, especially if asbestos or lead is involved, but knows some flood victims are dealing with mold themselves.Rainbolt says the moldy area must be isolated, and any mold bagged, to prevent it from spreading. He also suggests renting a dehumidifier and air scrubber.
