Q. I am a graduate of P.C.I., I am currently working on a house which contains mold in their den, the problem is not with me I follow all P.C.I. guidelines and use all P.C.I. products, the problem is with the builder, after 4 years he has not fixed the leak in the roof, every time it rains or snows it starts leaking in to the den. Just on Wednesday he had his roofers come out and fix it so I could start spraying my Coverage Plus to kill the mold, which I did on Thursday. It's Friday now and I came to spray my applications of Timbor and the roof is leaking again primarily where our mold occurrence is. My question to you is, do you have  a mold lawyer that is familiar with the practices of P.C.I. that you would recommend, because I follow P.C.I. mold tips and teachings to the letter. Also what's bad about this is my client is allergic to mold, in the last year or so she was diagnosed with cancer, which who knows the mold could have attributed to her cancer and their house is probably $350,000+  which being only 4 years old should not be leaking like this. Let me know what you think, I look forward to seeing you at the continuing education seminar in Las Vegas in April. [March 27, 2004]

A. You ought to send a certified letter to your client that politely explains that your mold remediation efforts are for no avail if the client does not get the roof leak taken of. You might suggest to your client that she should find the best possible roofing contractor in her area to take care of the problem correctly and effectively and permanently. You might help her find the best roofer [and be sure to check for roofer complaints filed with BBB and contractor licensing board]. She could then talk to her attorney about getting reimbursement for such expense from the builder in view of the builder's failure to do the job correctly and compensation for the resulting mold damage to the house because of the continual re-occurrence of the leaky roof. If your client definitely wants to sue the builder, she can use the search function explained on http://www.moldlawyer.com to find an environmental attorney in her area.
