I purchased a home in 2005. I was the 2nd owner of the home. My family and I got very sick throughout the time of living in this home, with each year getting sicker, not knowing the reasons for becoming sick. In 2011, we had the first inspection done. The home always had a lot of dust. We started seeing signs of corrosion in our plumbing, and blackening of jewelry and other strange things, like the smell of something burning, which certain wood furniture and other furniture started to burn, and the air conditioner was having to be serviced usually about 3 times a year, with having also to be rebuilt 2 years ago (needing new coils).
Our family suffered from nose bleeds to sinus infections, breathing problems, digestive problems, headaches, hand and foot tingling and pain, and small warts on hands. Many inspections were completed with finding out that the house was made with CCA pressure treated green board. The green board was put around the air conditioner/air handler in the attic, where the bio-hazards would go through the air handler traveling into the air. The CCA board was also put all throughout the house around windows, doors, bathrooms etc. It was listed as building code for it to be okay to put in houses, and yet it is not okay when people are in these homes getting sick, not knowing why.
In 2005 it was banned from being used in residential areas. The CCA board leaves off fumes in high humidity, in which the boards were doing so, and we were breathing this air as well. There possibly is a bad drywall issue too, as the drywall had small wholes in it, and showed signs of a toxic bio-hazard as well. I am not able to even find the builder (First Homes), and when calling Home Buyers Warranty Florida's Choice, the number was not in service, with no forwarding number listed. I tried to send the Warranty Claim Form to the address listed, and the mail was returned as not at this address, with no forwarding address. My family and I have had to move from the home of living in for 6 years. At least we are alive.
