If I can do anything please let me know. I am a engineer, and specialize in existing buildings. Water damage and mold issues are a big part of what I do. It sounds like your property manager and contractor are doing what needs to be done. If the contractor suspects mold, they will need to bring in a industrial hygenist. He can make the deturmination, and deturmine what needs to be done. Industrial hygenist often work for the contractors who specialize in this type of work. That should speed up the proccess. One thing you want to check is the condominium's damage policy. Different condominiums have different rules about what is your property and what is owned as the group. The carpet is probably your property, and the condo may not cover the deductable on the loss of your property. Hopefully you have condo insurance. You might want to ask your property manager if you are responsable for the deductable. Keep a record of all your expences. The insurance company will pay anything that is reasonable. Reasonable is not a exact word, and different adjusters have different interpretations. If you get a jerk you might have to push him.

I went through a sewage backup recently and it was a nightmare. Good luck. Mold is the worst, and needs to be dealt with quickly.
UOTE=MiniNurse;1449041]What is it with us and cursed water! First it was SoulFire's sunroof/headliner, and now our kitchen/dinning room/living room....
For those of you who have been to our place, the carpet is SOAKED, yes soaked spongey through everything halfway to the middle of the dinning room floor. around the bar area it is about 2 feet into the living room...all the way under all the cabinets and appliances in the kitchen....which of course I can't get to to clean up...and I am REALLY alergic to mold....
:impatient
We shall see what the insurance adjuster says. Now at least I have an excuse to get rid of the crappy floor I have in the kitchen...But what else am I going to have to replace. I can feel that the walls are damp as well. This is not good....good thing I added the water backup clause on my homeowners insurance.
