HollyDays. I can't quote your post for some reason.

I just called the guy again and he is "not available" to talk to me. His phone representative told me he said he sent the results and the report to me today. I have just received the test results (after I talked to her), but no report from him as to what remediation must be done.

She also told me he works alone, that this company is owned by him and he does all the work. I had the impression that this was a rather large company, they have an extremely impressive website, and now I find I am dealing with a single owner who does all of his own work. He very definitely seemed to know what he was doing at the time of the testing, so I do not question his credentials, at least not so far.

She said he is on a job right now and cannot talk to me until 5 PM. It could be, since he works alone, that he is legit but just behind in his work. Or it could be that he has made all the money he's going to make and it no longer matters to him what my issues are. I have no alternative but to wait until 5 PM and see what further report is due.

Hello, I didn't know that DooBDoo (possibly) had a fall. Hope she is fine, and hope it's not true. If anyone here is in touch with her, please give her my good wishes for a very quick and complete recovery. Ford: I'm only guessing that samples do have to be sent back to somewhere else, and that there have to be official reports written/documented. I'm guessing that there are lots of these types of problems with possible mold/mildew/whatever, and people want to make sure. that they are safe. Could be that there isn't any bad mold, at your place, hopefully. We have all been wishing to our lucky stars that all will be well for you, and for DooBDoo, too.

Just read the update and hopefully, you will hear very soon from him. The waiting is the most difficult and makes for a long day to hear the phone ring.

I sincerely hope for the best for you and Erin; both of you are overdue to have some relaxing time and enjoy your new place.

Oh no!! Is that in this thread about DooBDoo? I didn't know she fell, which could be very serious for people our age. I wish we knew more and also hope she is OK. If she's not posting, it's possible she is in the hospital or rehab. I hope not.

I expect a report that will outline what should be done re these test results. I'm not sure I understand them all, but my daughter looked at them and thinks they are minor with the exception of the standing water under the slab. I can't just send these tests to the landlord, I need a report from him as to what should be done.

The specialist just contacted me and said I would receive his remediation report "late tonight" (which probably means tomorrow).

Maybe this is almost over.

I guess I'm on ignore.

Someone here in a previous post on this thread mentioned that she thought DBD had a fall. I'm just hoping that it's just a mistake, rumor, etc.

He communicates via iPhone emails. I have only talked to him on the phone when I have called. As long as I get the remediation report, that's all I require of him. It doesn't look seriously toxic as far as we can determine, but I know the standing water has to be resolved.

We should be able to start unpacking this weekend.

Post #201, regarding, hopefully a mistake, DBDoo's possible fall.

Ford...did you get the mold report?

No, and I'm getting very upset. I talked to the guy last night who said he has not received the test results from the lab located in VA. He then has to write up the report. I expressed my frustration that it is not coming to me as promised and he said I would get it today. So far I have not received it. I don't know what to think. My daughter thinks I am overreacting. Maybe I am, but I don't like promises that are not kept. I start getting suspicious because I don't trust anyone.

If I don't get the report today, I will demand my money back and call another company. In just three days we will have been here for three weeks and still not unpacked. It seems no one fulfills their commitments anymore.

Unless the company has their own lab, there is a good chance many of the companies use the same lab. If you fire this one, how many days will it be before another comes out to your apartment then sends the samples out? You will have a longer wait than you do now.

There is still time to get the results today. Did the company promise in writing what day you'd have the report?

Sorry, I just saw this post. Yes, a mold remediation report is included in the contract.
