Mold in window tracks

[Chris Bernhardt]

How much concern do you give mold in window tracks vrs mold on interior wall and ceiling surfaces?

Is it really not a concern compared to if it was found on a wall?

What would you tell a client if they asked you about moldy window tracks given there was no other mold found on any wall surfaces?

It's usually just bad housekeeping and not to worry about other mold issues.

Because of the mold goofiness, I simply put it in the report as "there was mold @ XYZ. Clean it up, read this (handouts), go to www.epa.gov/mold, etc.

"Squirt it with some friggin' Tilex - next question".

I seriously don't think little crap like this needs to make it into a report.

Just for the record, they moved the mold brochure. might want to check your link if you use it in reports.

I've never reported dirty moldy window tracks.

I was just curious.

I see so much silly stuff about liability concerning reporting or not reporting on mold over at inspection news.

I like Kibbel's answer. Honestly, most of that little crap never makes it into my reports either.
