All that moisture just remaining inside that dark environment being slowly heated by the warmth of the home’s interior – a perfect recipe for mold.
It is a tragedy for the sellers, but there’s a lesson in here for the rest of us too. Take leaky roofs or leaky plumbing seriously. While a new roof might cost $15,000 on up depending on the size of the house, these homeowners are in my opinion trying to sell their home for $500,000 less then its normal market value because of the mold issue. This certainly makes the maintenance cost of putting on a new roof seem like peanuts when you’re ready to sell your house.
Let's see how this turns out in the end, perhaps someone will overbid on this property and the loss will not be so great for the sellers. Stay tuned!
