[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all.  New wrinkle we learned today when a crew came was that there is asbestos (testing from last week came back positive). So now we have begin the remediation process. According to the crew, they will need to seal off the basement fully to do abatement which means we now lose our washer/ dryer.

We’re in Leesburg. So I’ll have to look into the law more, though generally VA is much more landlord friendly.

Honestly I’m most stressed about the time I’ll have to be home to let crews in and out. The landlord lives in Lynchburg so he’s not coming up to let people in.[/quote]

I have a house in another state that flooded and required mold and asbestos abatement.  One thing people may not be aware of is that glue containing asbestos was commonly used in home building up to the nineties.  So there is a good chance that there are floor tiles or wall tiles containing asbestos.  Our house had to have almost all of the tiling removed from the kitchen to comply with the asbestos removal, even though the kitchen did not flood.

There is a good chance that the repairs will be way more widespread than the basement and will make the house unlivable.. I would prepare to move as soon as you can.[/quote]
