I have recently purchased a brand new home. Within a year we began experiencing black residue on the stuffed toys in my daugther's bedroom. The carbon monoxide detectors began reacting. My daugther was tested for CO exposure and the home was checked by the local fire department. Both tests were positive for CO. The heating and air installer indicates there is no problems with the units. The home was initially thought to have a negative air pressure and still appears to have this problem. The manufacturer of the unit found signs of insulation in the unit. We continue to have issues and now the home has various types of mold growing in the air return filters. What could be the cause of the soot, the CO. or the mold when all involved say the home is designed correctly?
Thanks for any feedback.
