We had our mold inspector, Joel Loving come out to inspect the home before the drywall went up.
Joel went through the house carefully and he found just a few problem boards. He said it wasn't a big deal at all and these were easy enough to get replaced.
I should note that every black spot one might see does NOT indicate mold. We had many areas that were simply stained.
I was very pleased with the results of our inspection- we've had HUGE problems in this area in the past and he told me the house looked great. YAY.
He did caution us that a dehumidifier or AC should be run when drywall is up to prevent any new moisture problems. Without power, the new drywall might be affected by rain storms/humidity levels. However, "provided the moisture content of the drywall remains below 15% throughout any period of non-power" all should be fine.
Luckily the electricity people are hard at work at the site and we should have electricity in a couple of days... :) We had a bit of a delay with rain- for a day it looked like we had an electrical moat around the house.
Can't wait to see how it looks with the drywall up...
