Hello everyone,
We have a shed roof with a 3° pitch. OSB boards were installed on the rafters, and a layer of insulation (walkable thermal insulation panels) was laid on top.
Plastering and screed work were then carried out. Black mold has appeared all over the ceiling (due to rising moisture).
The construction company’s statement is: This can be wiped off.
I don’t agree, as even dead mold spores can be harmful to health and have likely penetrated the OSB boards.
Do you know of any court rulings, studies, technical regulations, or similarly authoritative documents stating that the boards definitely need to be replaced?
Thank you in advance for any tips or advice!

I am curious to see how things will develop! I recommend at least now relying on professional expertise and hiring a specialist for the remainder of the house construction.
In my opinion, wiping it down doesn’t solve the problem, and whether with or without insulation wool… it doesn’t make a difference. Moisture will still accumulate and cause mold after the plaster and screed work is completed. In our case, the battens were affected, but they were completely replaced later without us having to follow up!
