My problem is this. I rent a house in Pittsburgh PA. The landlord was advised 2 years ago about mold in the basement on the drywall of 2 finished rooms. They advised us to just wipe the walls down with a bleach solution. Which we did. That however didn't solve the problem as anytime we would get heavy rain, water would still come into the basement and the mold would return. This past spring was a very wet spring here in Pittsburgh. There is now mold growing along every wall in the 2 finished rooms. We notified them of this about 2 weeks ago and so far the only thing that has happened is that a claims inspector for their insurance company has come and taken a look at it. So, my question is this. Is there a time frame for mold removal that a landlord has to abide by here in Pennsylvania? Also, are they required to use a mold removal service? As my landlord would have their handy-man come do the job.
