Residents of Sunset Ridge Apartment Complex say leaky water pipes and roofs have caused mold to grow in their homes.

Two say it's resulted in vomiting, headaches and respiratory problems.

"It's on the baseboards, the walls," said Christine Saul. "Some of the mold you can see on the back side of the carpets. It smells like mildew."

Saul first complained to management Aug. 14 when a pipe in a master bedroom wall began leaking. A pipe leak under the floor flooded the room, it's adjacent bathroom and the kitchen Aug. 15.

Saul said she notified a maintenance worker who told her he could not complete the job by himself. The next day workers fixed the leak, removed some of the soaked carpet padding, suctioned water from the kitchen floor and partially dried the carpet, Saul said.
