A Family Faces Mysterious Illness and A Home in Crisis

They thought it was just allergies…until they finally discovered the vector of their sickness

By Kathy Leeds – Home Health Contributor

This Texas-Sized nightmare started for the Saxon family with a distinct smell.

Just faint at first — something musty. Like old laundry or damp towels.

They noticed it most in the mornings, when the air was still, and only in one part of the house:
near the upstairs storage closet.

Still, they cleaned everything. Rewashed all the clothes. Even had the carpet shampooed.

But it never went away...

Before Mold Investigation

Black Mold Discovered

Then came the unexplained headaches, watery eyes, congested noses and overall fatigue

First for Victoria, then her husband, then even their 6-year-old started complaining. It was like we were all getting sick at home — and only at home.

Still, they didn’t see any mold!

No black spots. No water stains. Nothing. The family felt completely helpless, confused and frustrated.

That’s when they decided to call someone — just to check, and it would be the best decision for their health and their home.

The technician brought a moisture meter, took some air samples, and within 30 minutes, he found it.

A slow leak in the ceiling, right above the closet, caused by poorly installed flashing on the roof.

Water had been seeping into the drywall for months. Slowly building dampness behind the dry wall, but not noticeable enough visually to raise a visible concern.

And behind that wall?

Black mold

They were genuinely shocked. The family had been living with toxic mold — and had no idea...

Sound familiar?
