suggestions after cleaning up black mold?
Melissa asked:
We had a bad rain storm that left our basement very wet. After cleaning it up, (or so we thought) we went back to normal living. 2 months has past and we noticed some mold growing, and after more research found much more….long story short, we have been removing all molding drywall, furing strips, carpet, and gutting the basement. However, under the stairs tonight was large amounts of black mold about 1 foot high and the length of the stairs on both sides. I wore a mask and wore gloves while removing, we shut our AC off. Just wondering if there are any suggestions to make sure that I didnt inhale any toxic mold as I have heard so much about it. Are there any home treatments or should I just go to the Dr to get a breathing treatment?
FEMA has already been to our house to do an inspection, we have gutted our basement, we have only that one area that had black mold, everything else had water damage, the black mold was where the water came in at.

If it was truly black mold there was no way that you can actually clean it yourself. It requires professionals. Not to be an alarmist but in some cases when the mold is so deep in your house the house is a total loss. You need to have your local health department come inspect and in the meantime make an appointment with your doctor and try not to stay at your house. BLACK MOLD IS TOXIC

bleach mixed with some water. works wonderfully. i had the same thing happen, our basement flooded. bleach does the job. also use bright lights, shine a lamp under the stair with the mold, it can't grow in the light.
