@peekinspections: During my pre-drywall inspections when I'm looking at framing components with lumberyard mold and discoloration I get so much pushback. I'm involved in several email chains where the builder is refusing to do anything about it because it's just "part of the build process". I have clients calling and emailing saying the builders are not going to do anything about the mold and asking me what I can do. Unfortunately I don't have any power to make them do anything. The bigger problem is why are they so opposed to getting rid of visible mold?? so on today's adventure I decided to do a swab test free of charge for my clients just so it forces the hand on the builder to remediate all of the mold on the lumber. #mold #inspection #newconstruction #construction #idaho

Lowe’s is selling molded lumber. They will not release the good boards until all the molded boards are sold! 😡

End of day, mold is mold. There is no such thing as “SAFE” mold.

It’s actually easy to resolve. And not that expensive if they do it now.

Fear mongering nonsense lol. Mold remediation companies have presented that there is no need to be alarmed with very few mold spots like those. It will not grow and will die leaving a stain unless you continue to get it wet

Yes! Nash, my mold detection dog alerts to many areas on drywall & when the customer goes into the wall, it’s often moldy lumber!!

As soon as the test swab was out of the wrapper, it had mold on it. mold is everywhere. Mold is only dangerous in excess quantities.

Nah. The “mold” he’s talking about is almost always mildew and neither toxic nor destructive to the wood. So test away, but the result is most likely of being nothing

Mold is in every renovation and it’s super hard to avoid it, but it should be fixed if your not a hack… coming from a builder, I’ve had mold on almost every job, and there’s multiple ways to handle the situation. 1) run it by the customer, if they care or not and go from there (they should care) or 2) just fix it, with what we make off jobs, the amount of time it takes to assess and fix, is so minimal. Just fucking fix it. Simple as that.

In all my years, I’m sixty I’ve never seen moldy wood. Until now you gotta buy some wood it’s either split, moldy and unusable.
