Has wind/moisture barrier and sound barrier.

The mortgage lender may understand an "as is" sale but on the day before closing the lender's closing attorney may decide that some old moisture damage on a threshold just must be fixed and demand that the CL-100 "clear" before they will close the sale.

That said, the foundation risk is a factor of the moisture in the soil below the home's foundation.

Now when setting up an LLC do be aware that if it is penetrated they have access to everything in it.

I agree that moisture in the basement can be a real pain.

I would advise adding 20% to your budget as contingency for the unexpected and make sure you're not going to have any moisture seepage issues before building everything out..

you need to figure out where the water is penetrating from the outside.

(Very expensive) usually you can mitigate most water penetration issues by simply addressing drainage at the surface.

Fixing this is going to depend on how bad the affected area is.If there's just some mold spots on a bathroom ceiling, you can kill the mold with some vinegar, or bleach/borax.Bigger mold defects (like deep penetration) might cost you significantly more.If I was in this situation, I'll first get a friend out who knows what he/she is doing for input, then maybe start getting quotes from mold specialists.And you do want to do this as soon as possible - you're right this could affect your health and that of your loved ones

However I didn't see any evidence of moisture, and didn't hear any drips behind walls, but it was in the back of my mind.On the third night after I got home I was exhausted and fell asleep, some time around 4am for whatever reason I can't explain, it clicked and I knew it must be a running garden hose.
