Black Mold, Lawsuits and the Pursuit of a Healthy Home Environment

Building Cleaning Services ensures superior service for mold removal, serving homeowners in the greater Los Angeles area. Specializing in mold remediation, Building Cleaning Services provides effective mold removal, preventing problems that can result from neglecting mold growth.

Los Angeles, CA, October 03, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Homeowners, housing authorities and construction companies can avoid the health risks that water damage and black mold can cause by speedily addressing the source of the problem and removing the mold. Building Cleaning Services, a leading Los Angeles mold remediation company, says fast, effective mold removal could prevent lengthy and expensive litigation that can result from neglect of the problem.

Multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements regarding black mold damage that caused health risks were reported in 2010, one case topping almost $12 million. In that instance, a housing authority ignored tenant complaints of mold, aggravating respiratory problems in a 12-year-old asthmatic girl who allegedly suffered oxygen deprivation during an asthma attack, resulting in brain damage.

In another case this year, a lawsuit on behalf of a mother and baby resulted in a $550,000 settlement against a landlord who had rented them a house and ignored long-term roof leaks causing mold. The plaintiffs alleged that mold and other conditions worsened the mother's pre-existing asthma, and contributed to the premature birth of her son.

While there aren't standard guidelines about how much or what kind of mold is toxic ( http://1clik2.com/WorriedAboutMold ), mold has been blamed for headaches, respiratory problems, lung disease, skin rashes and memory loss.

BCS - Building Cleaning Services ( http://www.BuildingCleaningServices.net ) takes the worry out of mold removal but urges those concerned by it to act quickly. As one BCS client stated, "If you suspect water damage in a wall, don't take time to think it over. Act! Staining means that moisture is in the wall. Mold grows in 24 hours. It doesn't take a big opening to allow a lot of water to come inside - a bit of decayed caulking by the window trim can cause a whole lotta grief."

"Sheldon and Jeff from BCS came out immediately to my home and patiently explained what had occurred. Of course this was scary for me, but I knew I was in good hands... the BCS guys are great fun to be around," said one recent BCS customer.

HomeRun Homes Donates Services to Wounded Warrior Homes Organization

HomeRun Homes, about to celebrate their 9th Anniversary, is billed as "The" Rent to Own Homes Marketplace, and has been uniting buyers and sellers of Rent to Own Homes via their classified ads since 2002.

Ronkonkoma, New York, March 11, 2011 - HomeRun Homes (www.Lease2Buy.com), the Rent to Own Homes classified ads website, has contractually agreed to donate blocks of ad space to the Wounded Warrior Homes Non-Profit Organization (www.woundedwarriorhomes.org).

Giving Back To Those Who Give Us Freedom

Wounded Warrior Homes was founded by Steve & Mia Roseberry with the goal of supporting military members who are dealing with Traumatic Brain Injuries incurred from serving our country. Steve Roseberry has a background as a General Contractor and as a Home Inspector, and Mia Roseberry is a special education teacher familiar with the struggles faced by those with Traumatic Brain Injury. Working as a team with their non-profit organization, their number one priority is to use their skills as real estate investors to help provide transitional housing to service members with Traumatic Brain Injury.

HomeRun Homes, about to celebrate their 9th Anniversary, is billed as "The" Rent to Own Homes Marketplace, and has been uniting buyers and sellers of Rent to Own Homes via their classified ads since 2002. Robert Eisenstein, the CEO & Founder of HomeRun Homes, states that HomeRun Homes "is very proud to announce a partnership with such a fantastic organization". Eisenstein points to the fact that his Paternal Grandfather served in the U.S. armed forces during World War I, and that his Maternal Grandfather was one of our troops that, "stormed the Normandy beaches during World War II", adding that he, "proudly displays his Grandfathers' honorable discharge papers with citations as an expert marksman."

As part of the agreement between HomeRun Homes and Wounded Warrior Homes, HomeRun Homes is providing blocks of Advertising space across multiple categories, and Eisenstein has personally offered to speak to the warriors themselves to provide them with tips on the Rent to Own process. "To this day", says Eisenstein, "I still have family serving in the Armed forces, so this charity just feels so right!".

Housing Wealth Effect Hits U.S. Economy

The erosion of the syndrome known as the "Wealth Effect" is showing that fall out from the housing slump is having a major impact on the U.S.

Destin, FL, March 01, 2011 -- The erosion of the syndrome known as the "Wealth Effect" is showing that fall out from the housing slump is having a major impact on the U.S. economy, according to Housing Predictor analysts.

Consumer spending habits slowed for a time after the housing bubble burst as the "Wealth Effect" made people feel like they were losing money as equity in their homes dissipated with falling home values. Three years after the financial crisis consumers have changed their habits, cutting spending on many consumer goods.

A study conducted by Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies showed that the real estate bubble would have only been about half its size had banks and mortgage companies not offered the new breed of mortgages, reducing the number of troubled properties in foreclosure substantially.

The foreclosure crisis has resulted in more than 6-million U.S. foreclosures and is gaining momentum as more homeowners lose the ability to pay mortgages, and other upside down mortgage holders walk away from their homes. Historically housing leads the U.S. economy out of recessions, but the economy has sustained a massive blow from the bankers, who developed new mortgages and sold them to anyone that could sign their name.
