MY CONDO IS ROTTING AND MOLDY! - The first concern always is you and your families safety and heath, the first thing you do is inform your condo board members in writing and property manager if you have one, the next step is you must have your condo unit tested to verify what level of mold spores are air born in your suite, yes air born. This test will determine your immediate risk. After that has been confirmed, generally your property manager will have sources that can com in and determine the severity of the damage and rot to deconstruct and reconstruct the problem areas. This can be an isolated incident but generally with how water travels, this most likely will be happening with your neighbour’s suites. If this is the case then it will become a problem that generally all the owners of the condominium complex will get involved and share the burden of engineering and construction costs.
