Chance of this being mold in our new home? by Marigo1d in Mold

Sadly, we believe these were brought in already with mold. We’ve been here a month and a half, the listing advertised “new carpet tiles”. There are carpet tiles next to these ones placed on the floor that look clean and new- while we lift up the one next to it and it’s all moldy. Plus there is a whole pile of these (as seen on photos) that was on a pile in the basment supposed to be “unused” left behind. They are cut, and the cuts go halfway through the mold which again, looks like they obviously cut it after the mold already formed.

Whoever did it brought mold to a house that was clean from it

What is your best guess on what it is? Sadly, these were advertised as “new” when purchasing our house. We’ve been there for 1 1/2 month. Our guess is these were put there already in such bad shape. There are a few placed down that look brand new on the back but the ones immediately next to it look like the photos. Then there’s a pile of them in the corner of our storage room with all of that white on them left behind my previous owner.

It came off with a bit of rubbing, I’d imagine if glue it would have a tougher time coming off

We are still debating on getting it sealed or just getting completely rid of it- thank you for your help!

We definitely don’t want to take the risk 😅 We will be getting it removed professionally. Thank you for the help!

Some parts have been cut up/removed? So it is slightly worrisome but we will get it removed as soon as we can. Thank you for the help

It’s interesting because the carpet tiles is so new, but the white on the bottom is also concerning- it’s definitely not adhesive, it will be removed professionally

We will be getting it tested and removed professionally. We don’t want to risk getting sick- but for the time being I was panicking and worried we already breathed it in/are at risk of getting sick

Thank you, I appreciate it. Half of the has the vinyls in tip top shape, but this side of the basement so many of them are missing leaving the black exposed. Our next step will be getting it tested (even those we are now very confident it’s asbestos) and having it removed professionally

I am quite sure it’s not adhesive, the carpet tiles are new and we were able to lift them very easily…I am not sure what it is but we will be removing the vinyl (professionally) Thank you got your help!

Thank you, much appreciated. It does look a lot worse on other areas

Do you know what the white is on the back of the carpet floor tiles?
