BURLINGTON COUNTY, N.J. One Florence Township family is blaming the construction of a new high school for toxic mold that mysteriously started growing in their home.

The family has since moved out and filed a lawsuit against the township’s school board.  They claim a five acre water basin that was built to allow the construction of a high school, flushed water into their basement causing harmful mold.  Home owner, Bart Shrader said his house was ruined.

"There’s stuff in the basement that got destroyed, my kids don’t have half the memories that were here, I can’t explain it” Shrader said.  Shrader isn’t the only one on the block that has been complaining.  Frank Gigliotti doesn’t have mold, but he ripped up his basement and keeps a sump pump running around the clock.

“Since they cleared out the trees and started building the school, we’ve gotten more and more water”, Gigliotti said.  The township’s engineer said the high school did not increase water runoff on Shrader’s property and that all construction was approved and reviewed, by the New Jersey Department Of Environmental Protection.
