A single mum says her anxiety is ‘through the roof’ after her daughter was taken to hospital with breathing difficulties because of mould in their flat.It is the second time Mckenzie, 3, has been admitted this year and her mum, Samantha Jenkins, 33, has been pleading with Lambeth Council to fix the problem.>The toddler had her first hospital stay in February after she started wheezing, with the hospital admitting her for low oxygen levels.>McKenzie had no health issues before moving there in July last year, but she has now developed asthma and was rushed to hospital again last week.>Samantha said: ‘I’m here now just sat in fear because as it gets colder it’s going to get worse.>‘It’s been terrible for my mental health, I have PTSD and now my anxiety is going through the roof as it gets colder, because I know it’s coming back and it’s going to affect all of our health.>‘It’s already affected my daughter’s attendance because last year when she was ill if you had a cough there were Covid restrictions and she couldn’t go to school, that in turn affected my work because I’d have to stay home with her.>‘If I could afford it I’d go private but I can’t just get a deposit out of nowhere and move. The council has an obligation to respect its tenants, it works both ways as a tenancy agreement, you would run me down for rent if I didn’t pay you but you’re not caring for the people paying for these houses.’>A spokesperson for Lambeth Council said: ‘We apologise for any inconvenience Ms Jenkins and her family have experienced.>‘In the meantime we have arranged a series of additional works, including a mould wash in the bedroom and bathroom, the installation of a humidistat extractor in the bathroom and a vent on a cupboard door, and a CCTV survey of the drains.
What's the fix for this?
>>545792179Why are you bongs so moldy? Can't you into u-wert.net?
Where there is moisture, there is mold. Use a cheap inspection camera and take a look. Fix the issue and throw some dessicant in the wall. Fuckin Brits overthinking this to fix it; Women are retarded about "black mold" and everyone else is retarded. They all have CPTSD and "Anxiety" too. Must be nice to worry about something so trivial. All fornattebtiThese bitches don't know what an anxiety disorder is.
>>545792152She looks like a proper oriental init
>>545792777What a dumb cunt. Look at her, this is the type situation that makes men not respect women.She's such an empowered female, but she doesn't know how to fucking clean up mold. She wants something for free, and if she wouldn't get judged by it, she would probably suck some mold remediators dick for cleanup services.
>>545792152Mould is a bit of a problem where i live and it's entirely caused by houses having single pane windows and no insulation>>545792682Black mould can cause a ton of health issues, it all depends on the person and if the mould is toxic or not
>>545792682>Fix the issueThat is very likely illegal in the UK.
>>545792179>make sure its nice enough outside that you can open all your windows to air the house out because you'll need to air it out all day>put on face mask and gloves>buy a bottle of cleaning spray with bleach in it>spray the mold areas on the walls and let that sit for a half hour>then wipe everything off with a soapy wet rag. any dish cleaner will do>put fans on the wall areas to dry>for the doll, if it can be washed without it falling apart do that, otherwise throw it awaythen bam, mold gone. after that you will only have to do some spots if it pops up again and you need to stay on it. but its easier at that point. then you will notice spots where it keeps popping up again occasionally. probably some water or rotting wood behind that wall you need to remove or replace.
>>545792152this is why you need a man in every household to clean up and fix shit around the home...
>>545793016
>>545792152No bleach loicense?
>>545792968Kek.Likely need a license to do your own maintenance work. What a shitbox country; and this is a bold and yet true statement coming from a Chicagoan from the United Snakes. I would rather live here, than there.
>>545793033This. Why is this news? Get to work you dumb unfit mother!!!!
>>545792179Properties built before the 1960s need active ventilation. They weren't built with double glazed windows and high temperature showers.The reason this happens disproportionately to people in social housing and low income housing is that they do not know how to ventilate a property. A bathroom extractor fan will provide a enough ventilation for several people showering or bathing in a property with double glazed windows that are never opened. The Germans laugh at us for never opening windows and it's for good reason.Have a shower, use one of these to scrape off excess moisture in the shower room and then open windows in two different rooms for 5 minutes. You will never, ever have to deal with mould again.>>545792682You're close, but what you're looking at is not caused by water in the wall. This is water settling on a wall, and judging from the picture, probably a part of the house that she has had furniture against. It's an intergenerational skill issue where people aren't taught basic homemaking skills for the properties that we live in.
Just ban mould or loiscense it, oi!?
>>545793016The house is probably rotten to the core. A structural issue.
>>545792179We put single moms into labor camps so nobody has to listen to their pointless bitching.
>>545793016You're asking a woman to do anything useful. Not going to happen. They don't even pick up their own pet dogs, shit. They are absolute fucking slobs these days. They think mothering is giving their kids a tablet and nuggets from McDonald's.Useless. All they do is put on makeup, eat in bed, and order shit from Amazon all day.
>>545792179Heating the home.The landlord cant turn the heat on for you.>but that costs me money!>fix it!The landlord can literally do nothing. Just heat the fucking home.
>>545793110Its passive ventilation. UK and Irish homes were built to be heated and to lose a certain amount of that heat. That removes the moisture. You are likely right that modern appliances have introduced much more steam to these homes.Also the people living in them dont open the windows or use extractor fans when they create steam or adequately heat their homes.>why would they not heat their homes??It costs money and they dont want to spend it.Complaining to the landlord is free.
>>545793110Dude just stop building with bricks.
>>545793110I tend to assume the worst like it's a dribbling pipe or pex connection/copper pipe in the wall, or an old iron drainage pipe with a pinhole. Or a basement or main floor foundational crack, letting water seep.That seems insane to me that there is no ventilation in the house. I didn't even know that that was possible.Also, German ancestors here, we always leave windows open. That's interesting.
>>545792179But seriously, Farid, if you want to know how to build properly, learn about wall moisture.Here's the setup of choice. This gives you 88 centimeters of good isolation against the poz.
>>545793016>hurr just spray some bleach on your drywallWhole house needs to be gutted.
>>545792958It can, but most people aren't retarded and lazy and clean it up. Instead, retarded single mothers like this will call some mold remediator and bitch and wine until some council does it for her. Costing thousands of dollars when all you need is to fix the issue and clean the fucking area and stop letting the moisture build up in your house. All mold produces toxic shit. Just clean it. Even the people in the ghettos of Chicago know how to take care of this very quickly.
>>545793384There is often ventilation via installed extraction fans, but most household extractor fans aren't enough for properties that were built without insulation. You also have to consider that these houses are significantly smaller than average than what you find in America. Smaller rooms directly translates to higher concentration of moisture in any given place.>>545793313I've had tenants of managed properties generate so much steam in a shower room that it would set off the smoke alarm. The local council got involved and actually sided with the landlord.
>>545793515No, it doesn't. That's a retarded cell from contractors and mold remediators and overly cautious wine moms.Investigate the area, isolate the leak, add some ventilation if you somehow don't have it, and clean and rebuild the area, leave it alone. People are fucking pussies these days. It's mold, it's all around you, it's in your showers, it's behind your walls, it's in your shoes, it's in your car, it's everywhere.
>>545792152>Giving your child a surname as a first nameWhat in the fuck
>>545792179Smash the whole fucking house down and set it on fire. Then explain to the police, media and court of public opinion the consequences of allowing foreign slum landlords to use white people as cash cows to money launder. Those with a pussy pass can get away with so much more than men.
>>545793632Interesting to note that I didn't know about the size. I guess it's a size and material difference. Although our houses are built with drywall(gypsum) in areas prone to moisture we use something called greenwall that inhibits mold. What of using soffit vents, repurposed?Even covering a small removed portion of the house and putting an animal-resistant mesh and vent for air pressure changes. It'll help extract the humidity?
>>545793695Have you ever been in a house that was moldy enough to send people to the hospital? You eventually hit a point with mold damage where you can’t fix it. It’s like if you took a shit on your couch, you could probably clean it if you just squeezed out one turd and cleaned it up right away and put spot cleaner on the stain. But if you shit on your couch for days with diarrhea and just let it sit there, penetrating the fabric, you have to throw the couch out. There’s no fixing it.
>>545793695Fuck off landlord. You try living in these dumps. You love taking £4000 a month housing benefit but do FUCK ALL but make more money to turn everything you own into a cesspit. Landlords need to be rounded up and executed.
>>545792179Buy a dehumidifier
>>545793954landlords cant heat and ventilate your house you fucking retard. Turn on your heat and open your windows sometimes. Particularly if you are generating steam.
>>545793110All the housing has been turned into commie blocks which should never have been granted planning permission in the first fucking place. The reason so landlords can grift money from taxpayers. They get multipliers for cramming as many people in a short cuck cage as possible and when something goes awry the landlords cry victim. Sound familiar?
>>545792152So spray the fucking walls with bleach and move the fuck on.
>>545794168Almost always this damage is caused when the fucking place is vacant and the landlord just leaves the windows shut and the heat off for months
>>545793632I tried renting out my old town house. We didnt want mold so we heated and opened windows when we generated steam.My tenants>hello? Landlord? I have mold. What will YOU do about it?Anyway I sold after a year. There is no money in it. Its all capital appreciation and since I had no mortgage I could cash in there and then rather than continue renting out and suffering the misery of retards who are too stupid to buy a home.
>>545793515No, it doesn't. You absolute retard. Only the paper molds. The gypsum inside the drywall does notThis is a good reason why people have air conditioning to keep their houses dry
>>545794245We dont have extremes of temperature like you do. Its just always a bit damp in the UK and Ireland.
>>545793016>>buy a bottle of cleaning spray with bleach in itDepends on the surface whether or not to use bleach. On non-porous surfaces, yes use bleach. However, on porous surfaces, it's much better to use white vinegar as it's able to penetrate deeper than bleach.
>>545792152Unless they’re widows, single mums can rot and die for all i care. No reason for a hole to be single except her own decision, and as now legally adults, they can deal with their own problems, by themselves.
>>545793110>yeah just open the windows to 87% humidity for 5 minutes. Surely this will dry out my home!Topkek. What a fucking retard. You'll have a mold problem in due time as well.
>>545794300I would just spot spray dilute bleach and then paint over it when dried.Would have to do it once a spring.The problem is that there is a culture among the welfare class of doing absolutely nothing for themselves.
>>545794287Have you ever actually gutted a house mold has infested thoroughly?
>>545794168Water and heat causes the mould you stupid fucking cunt. The problem is you can't really ventilate commie blocks without constant maintenance which landlords have no interest or ability to fix. Love taking the bucket loads of cash though. Happy to buy more and more big properties which used to be family homes to turn into prison complexes for the poor. Ireland have them queuing up to take their money. Hence standards drop. However nothing stopping your houses being burnt to the ground or socialist death squads getting together to purge the real villains of the story. Landlords and bankers.
>>545794415>maintenanceOpen a fucking window you absolute clown. So glad I sold up.
>>545794415>death squadsYou cant even get out of bed and get a real job.
>>545794552Yes maintenace by the service charge you add on to the customers final bill.
>>545792152Be nicer to men so you're not a single mum, slutGet a dehumidifier Run heat or A/CStop being a bong poorcunt
>>545793954You know, with all that regulation you got over there in UK, you would think that you would not have this issue with foreign landlords, huh? No. I am not a landlord because I'm not a predator. I am a home owner. Thank you. I know how to take care of my shit because I'm not a lazy faggot like you. I'd say go take out your anger on the landlord and put it where it counts, but you probably need a fucking license for that too.
>>545794589What job would that be sucking off jewish bankers and muslim landlords for cash like a dirty hooker in a back alley?
>>545794648>homeownerYou pay ever increasing property taxes so get down off your high horse "homeowner"
>>545794415Why don't you take some responsibility and take care of some things? And tell the landlord that you can take care of it, but they need to knock off some of the rents. Why don't you do something like that?Why are you socialist type such faggots and useless? You always need somebody else to fix your problems?
>>545794415>The problem is you can't really ventilate commie blocks without constant maintenance Why did your parents not teach you basic life skills? Turning on the extractor fan, heating the house and opening windows. It is literally that easy. Condensation isn't magic.
>>545794736Tax Exemption. Get gud.
>>545794661Any job you fucking loser. You know there is a lot of work involved in death squads??
>>545794763>>545794777>>545794798The capitalist class are always talking about responsibility and accountability. Yet they do no realise that in the contract tenants are not allowed to make repairs.
>>545794908You want me to come and open your bathroom window when you take a shower??
>>545794835>death squadsYes there is like the global pandemic. Injecting the cattle with disease that gradually makes them weaker and more docile to the bullshit of capitalist pigs. Death is a big money maker and death will always win. You can't imagine anyone standing up to the status quo because that would mean you end up in the same conditions as those you mock. Any self respecting white person would see through the demoralization tactics targeting a white women struggling with a sick child and stand up for her.
>>545794777>walk into an empty rental full of plugin scent dispensers>landlord febreezes the shit out of everything right before you walk in>everything’s fine anon it totally doesn’t smell like moldy death in hereThese kikes know what they’re doing
>>545794984Window?The bathrooms are built into cupboard spaces.
>>545792152Why do bong bitches always look like that
>>545795056Everyone is laughing at these" my house is moldy woe is me" people.Everyone's house is moldy but we take care of it.Thats what the story is really about. How lazy some people are. My atic was damp. That would eventually destroy the roof. I insulated the atic door better and religiously opened the window when I showed.
>>545792885And she had months to find another stream of income too, she would never make it as a man
An air to air heat exchanger works well but it dries the fuck out of the air in the winter. My brother had one for his house and they were all turning into lizards in the winter because its bringing bone dry winter air into the house and warming it. In the UK winters are much more mild so might work better.
>>545795283You have made that story about you and your own living conditions which is probably some hamlet in rural Ireland. Go move to a city and report back. I'm sure your pension pot can afford a plane ticket and short term rental for three months.
>>545794908Because of socialist dictat. Also, let's not pretend that even if you could that you would use socialist types or the laziest slugs ever, and I don't even like capitalism.
>>545795394Capitalists are the laziest fucking cunts on the planet.
>>545794984Bathroom should have a vent. Panasonic build great units and they can be motion activated so they turn on when someone comes into the shitter. They also have settings where you just leave them on all the time but the fan will just spin at a low rpm until someone enters the room.
>>545795378I live in Chicago in a home built in 1893.Many places were built before the 1950s here. I've rented two period, open the fucking window, or complain to the council, and if that doesn't work, maybe you should rethink your political inclinations. See, I'm bitching for leisure. If you put in half as much work as you are bitching on here into solving the problem of your mold, it would be solved.
>>545795095Rent something nicer.
Of course she wants the council to do something about it. Probably wants them to clear up the mountain of rubbish in her back garden as well.These people are just parasites. Most definitely from multi-generational welfare dependant households.Everything is handed to them.They do nothing for themselves.I have never seen a convincing case of mould from one of these cunts that was not caused by drying clothes indoors/showering/cooking without ever opening a window
>>545795378I live in a posh part of dublin but that sure as fuck isnt where I grew up. One of the best pleasures in life is fixing something yourself.I did that!
Basically all buildings are poorly constructed in Britian because the powers that be just want to build endless housing to accomodate the insane population rise as cheaply and as quickly as possible.
>>545795514>chicagoYou live in a rat infested hellhole run by niggers Maybe London is far superior after all.
>>545795466A moisture sensor would be nice. So it can just manage itself.
>>545792152Clean your house you chav cunt
>>545795571With what money? Rents have doubled in the last few years due to the supply and demand issue.
*raises paw*why is she a single mom?
>>545795674That isnt true. They were built with a different mindset to energy usage. They were built with the idea that you would have a fire burning in the fire place or a cheap fossil fuel heating the home.
>>545792179washing machine 30 degrees
>>545795612Aye. Same case here. Women in this city are notoriously lazy to the point where they have pets and they never clean up the dog shit in the yard.It attracts rats. They are so fucking lazy. It's unbelievable. Women are useless now.
>>545795612>multi-generational welfare dependant households.Her family line probably goes back further than the Normandy invasion. I think she has a right to a safe and clean home for herself and her children.
>>545792152why doesnt she just clean the area with bleech?
>>545795714Go shopping, to a restaurant or whatever shit. Don't waste your time here, it's not worth it. The retards trying to get me might waste their life in this cat and mouse thing but you're not part of it.
>>545795662So you are a champagne capitalist. You will be the first targeted by those that feel entitled.
>>545795724You know what else has more than doubled? The cost of maintaining a building.Have you considered being a handyman? I have dabbled in plumbing, tiling, painting, woodwork, roofing. The list goes on. My actual profession? College educated hospital guy. Tradesmen demand more than I make and supposedly im top 8% for disposable income.
>>545795862For petty theft. I know. Im upgrading my alarm soon.
>>545795692Have you ever been?At least we have actual buildings here, not a fuckin pickle and clocktower. We also have sunlight, real beaches and food. It's pretty nice. Keel believing the media, though. Hahah.Also, the nogs self segregated to their own neighborhoods. Enjoy the United Kaliphate, bong.
>>545795873You have hobbies and think you are an expert when you are just a boomer who was lucky to be born before everything turned to shit for everyone else. Enjoy your champagne at the posh part of dublin. However you are not Irish.
>>545795873You basically just admitted that it’s too expensive for landlords to actually fix major issues in a timely manner. The OPs pic doesn’t look like “just turn the fan on” mold, it looks like a fucked up vapor barrier or leaky pipe in the wall.
>>545795862envy is a womens trait, faggot nigger
>>545795910Who will be called out when your alarm goes off? How long will it take for someone else to fix your immediate problem? You'll be dead in your mansion before someone comes to save your worthless fucking arse.
>>545795873Business degree and business related. Tradesmen tend to do shitty quality work compared to my standards, so I learned to do everything myself, and it's wonderful. Socialists will never know the satisfaction of doing this themselves. They always play the part of supporting "le worker" yeah, don't know how to do shit, and if they do, they fuck it up.
>>545796123>EnvyYou think I have not lived in the ivory towers with the wealthy and "successful" I would rather shoot my own head off than spend time with these capitalist two faced arrogant heartless cunts.
>>545795995Hahah. I believe things born out of necessity and saving money and being done the right way are not hobbies.Those aren't hobbies. Also, I'm in my 30s and do the same thing. Cope and seeth you useless piece of shit.
>>545792179Watered down bleach in a spray bottle
>>545796221what are you waiting for then? kill yourself ya commie bastard
Get an air conditioner, they also function as dehumidifiers due to how they function with compression
>>545796100No i admitted that rent after tax and expenses is break even and the money is in capital appreciation. So if you have no mortgage no reason to not sell. No reason to baby sit literal retards.
>>545796200Yes.Hire a tradesman and they are all looking for a big score for as little work as possible. So they will over charge and so a shit job. None of this stuff is complicated. Ai and YouTube has made these clowns redundant. You can do a much better job for cost of materials and your time.
>>545796200How come people like you forget that clean affordable rentals used to just be normal unless you were a literal nog or total white trash bottom of the barrel scum? Plenty of clueless normalfags had clean houses that weren’t moldy back in the day and they weren’t any better at maintaining a home than they are now
>>545792152Just open the Windows 10min a day, stupid retards
>>545796428I see you dodged the main point, that that fucking mold damage is not from tenant produced condensation
>>545792179Open up the windowsSpray affected areas with bleachOptional: Not breathe bleach fumes
>>545796536Line must go up. Stop being selfish and think of the GDP
>>545792179Realising London ain’t special so you fuck off back to Scotland
>>545796599It's too cold and bongs don't have heating or cooling. Having a fire is illegal
>>545792152And at no point did it occur to her to clean the place?
>>545796794Are bongs to poor for blankets now?
>>545793204It's fucking amazing how absolutely worthless and useless modern women are.
>>545792682"CPTSD" and "anxiety" are code for "munches birth control pills every day that reduce test by 62%".Women who don't take the pill aren't as anxious, and they never wonder why.
>>545796960>throw a blanket over your mold Kek
>>545796681Oh fair enough. Yeah leaking pipes or whatever should be fixed by the landlord. I wasnt a slum lord. I fixed things promptly, which is why i realised landlords are losers who dont know how to use their money correctly.Im eliminating my expenses and whacking money into tax free investments.
>>545793110>>545792682The real problem is that the landlords know about these issues and don't tell their tenants before they rent. So they go in thinking they can do what they normally do and then it molds up. I had this issue in student housing about 10 years ago, found a nice private studio flat that was similarly priced to all the other ones, the only difference was that mine had a pebbled exterior wall that absorbed moisture and put it directly into the wall. Now add winter and poor ventilation from it being so cold and you're actually fucked for it. For mine, it was growing in the wall, seeping through to the kitchen so if you left it for a week the whole wall would go black. Almost died due to it because it was unmanageable and eventually ended up in hospital unable to breathe properly from having my airways stickily close together, every breathe would almost guarantee a coughing fit and a resealing of the airway. Nigger landlord just painted over the mold.
>>545794344British humidity is 50-65% on average just like here in my swamp.
>>545797101>stay in a moldy flat so long you nearly dieLol. Why arnt you achieving in life? Work extra hours. Invest. Buy things?
>>545792152>Single mum suffering in mouldy London
>>545797044I guarantee if you break down the problem mathematically, that tenant neglect is a small fraction of the actual issue for producing these kinds of conditions. Unless a tenant is a complete retard who goes out of their way to shit up the place, put-you-in-the-hospital mold will almost always be a plumbing, HVAC or dilapidated construction issue.
>>545797225We had fixed term tenancy contracts in the UK up until this year, so I was legally committed to renting the property for a year and the mold didn't start until the middle of winter so I was already 4 months in. Plus, I was a student so I could barely afford the current place working and studying let alone getting additional money to move. These issues hit the poor harder because they don't actually have the financial means to remove themselves from these situations.
>>545796498It's actually amazing that they can get licensed and do that kind of work when it's so subpar. Here in Chicago we have one of the most strict electrical codes that you can find, these so-called licensed and bonded tradesmen don't even use the fucking ground wire. Metal boxes have missing knockouts for mice to come in and, for God's sake, everywhere in America, they use fucking wire nuts still. They have their place. But damn, use better materials. We also need armored cables here. Everything is encased in metal. All plumbing must be copper. All drainage must be iron. They refuse to do the right job and everything is fixed with those fernco rubber boots, non metallic cables and plastic electric boxes. Who the fuck just buries a bare electrical cable with its non-metallic sheathing, that's it? It needs to be run in conduit. And they want thousands of dollars. Lazy.
>>545797465My tenants was wiping her make up on the curtains. The boyfriend blocked the toilet. They said they tried to unblock it. No they didnt. I unblocked it effortlessly. They were just scum, despite being college educated.Just so you know, white irish people will trash your house. Dont rent to them.
>>545797739I had people spill grouting and cement and latex all over my new engineered wood floors.They cleaned it up with acetone.Those fucking morons. The truth is they dont care. Fuck you.
>>545797739The problem is that people thought it was a good idea to make poorfag jobs unable to pay for a basic living and decided to tell all these normalfags who used to work at the assembly line or sold used cars and don’t give a shit about anything to “just learn a trade” and make the shocked pikachu face after they can’t handle it.
>>545795612You dont even need to open a window if there are vents installed into the windows themselves, just open them up.
she should kill herself and her niglet spawn>it's not a nigletit's a niglet by virtue of being a child of a retarded nigger foid
