today I looked into my neighbors house and it was the same as mine.
Have yours checked black mold in deadly.
Be very careful with "inspectors" who claim you have mold. I hired a company (advertised in our local newspaper) a few years ago. They came out, took one of the ceiling vents off, stuck his head in and quickly said, "You've got mold". Would cost thousands of dollars to fix AND, as part of the "remedy", I would have to vacate the house for 3 hours while they came in and 'CLEANED" the residue from the rest of the house. Nope, not happening! Had someone else come in and, you guessed it, no mold. Again, be very careful who you hire. Cheaters, scammers and scalawags all over the place. As with doctors, always get a second opinion.
