Might the mold being detected in our home just be left over from construction?
I have a feeling the builder may try to tell us that although the tests detected mold in two locations, the mold is left over from construction and that there is no current source of moisture. How likely or unlikely do you think that is, especially given the fact that our unit is directly beneath two large balconies as mentioned above. IF a building has a lot of soft fuzzy surface like wall to wall carpet and you make it very moldy the fuzzy surface (or debris or clutter) will act as a dust particle reservoir and may re-release mold or allergens enough to bother some occupants. IF a building is hard-surfaces without the carpet and clutter, ordinary activities of daily living, and ordinary cleaning, would be expected to dilute and in a practical sense remove temporary dust/mold debris from an event during construction. BUT IF there is a remaining mold reservoir in the building, and IF it’s a genera/species which is readily airborne (such as Pen/Asp) you’ll continue to get varying levels
