Mold Do it yourself

[David Griffey]

I am looking at my first property that was flooded in the basement along with leaks everywhere there is plumbing. I had already planned to remove all the drywall and repair as part of the rehab. Also, while everything is off I plan on setting up mold foggers and clean the rest.

I have been doing some reading about the mold and the EPA website, but I do not see anything about regulations on mold that make you test for it. I see a lot of people talking about testing for mold in the air, but they do not require it in homes or when you are selling a home. If I buy this rehab and flip it, is thee a law that states it has to be tested? I did see new regulations on business performing the clean up, but it was for safety of employees and so home owners did not get ripped off. Somebody point me in the right direction if I am off on this topic.
