While the landlord is responsible for the repair of the leak and the subsequent remediation cost, you must formally notify them in writing immediately. Send a detailed email with clear photographs of the mold and the leaking unit to your property manager and keep a record. Do not attempt to clean significant black mold yourself, as improper disturbance can aerosolize toxic spores and exacerbate health problems and contamination.

For a case this severe in JVC, you need a certified mold inspection to assess the full extent of the growth, which is often hidden inside walls. We can provide a comprehensive assessment, identify the species, and create a scope of work for the landlord’s team to rectify, or we can handle the entire remediation process professionally. Don’t delay on this; your health is at stake.

For immediate assistance, call our experts at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.
