Re: Mold at 710 Twin Circle Drive, South Windsor,CT
Dear Ms. Skouloudis:
On February 11, 2010, I visited the above referenced address, 710 Twin Circle Drive, a
property owned by you,to investigate a complaint of mold registered with this office
from your tenant,Veronica Reardon.
As you may know,molds are part of the natural environment, indoors,mold growth
should be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to
the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing
indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold,
and none of them will grow without water or moisture.
It is impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores indoors; some mold spores will be
found floating through the air and in house dust. The mold spores will not grow if
moisture is not present. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled
by controlling moisture indoors. If there is mold growth in your home, you must clean up
the mold and fix the water problem. If you clean up the mold,but don't fix the water
problem, then,most likely, the mold problem will come back.
Having said that,my investigation focused on the washer and bathroom sink that your
tenant said had plumbing leaks that contributed to mold growth. I expanded my
investigation and checked the bathroom walls floors and ceilings and the plumbing in the
kitchen. At the time of my investigation I could not detect any mold growth,moisture or
leaks except that the washer hot and cold faucets leaked when turned on. I did not
observe mold growth associated with the washer faucet leaks. I did observe scaring but
no active mold growth in the cement where the wood floor is.
I also reviewed the condition report provided by Aaron's Enviro-Clean, a mold
remediation company, and it appears that they have taken the appropriate steps to
remediate mold from your property.
I would like to thank you for your cooperation in remediating the mold and offer my
services if you require any assistance in the future.

Condition/Status Report
Attention.; Pat Ruggiero
Property location: Unit 710 Bryrewood Condominiums
February 11, 2010
On 01/23/10 a water loss occurred in unit 710. Water from the clothes washer discharge
caused water damage in unit 710 and 707. On the same day Aaron's affected removal of
affected sheetrock and flooring materials as necessary due to this loss, In the process of
removing some of these materials, micro-biological growth on sheetrock was discovered.
Based upon the presence of this material and the occupant's report of a prior water loss
due to a failed water heater and based upon visible evidence of chronic water leaks
originating ftom the supply valves behind the washer/dryer unit,Aaron's recommended
that the micro-biological growth be remediated and advised the unit owner./occupant to
affect repairs to correct the leaky valves.
As per your request and work authorization., on.February 9, 2010, Aaron's affected the
following work in unit 71.0 at Bryrewood wait## 710:
* Water heater was drained and.removed
* Approximately ten. (1.0) square feet of sheetrock was
removed.. Approximately 36 square inches of this material
had visible micro-biological growth attached. These
materials were bagged and removed from the site for
disposal.
* Open wall cavities, flooring, remaining adjacent surfaces
Heap-vacu.tuned.
* Open wall cavities were treated with Anti-Microbial solution
4,_
and encapsulant material
* Extremely small amount of micro-biological growth was
removed using Hepa-Vaccuxne, from wall board behind
base trim in the rear of toilets in botb.batluooms. ,Anti-
Microbial solution and Encapsulant were applied to these
areas.
• Bathroom vanity was removed to expose sheetrock for.
inspection. No issues were discovered.
• DE-500 Hepa Air Scrubber was deployed and left in place
as a safety measure following work procedures to control
and collect ait borne dust.
Work areas were placed in isolation during remediation procedures.
In sum,remedi,ation within unit 710 did not rise to the level of being considered
substantial in any way. Most micro-biological growth discovered was located in the
bathrooms which is an area in most homes where chronic water/condensation issues can
exist.
If you should have any questions regarding this Condition Report,please.feel free to
contact me.
Thank you,
