Hidden Danger in Deer Park home causes family to evacuate
SUMMARY: A Deer Park family faced a hidden danger when they discovered nearly 20 pounds of spilled mercury left by the previous homeowner. The situation was serious enough to warrant a Hazmat scene, forcing the family to vacate their home for months. They lost furniture and spent significant effort to remediate the situation themselves. Despite their hardships and an official request for further testing being denied, the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office and local commissioner Adrian Garcia assisted them. Eventually, testing revealed only minor mercury vapor presence, allowing the family to plan their return to the home.
The dream of homeownership quickly turned into a nightmare for the Mounts family when they discovered a hidden hazard in their new home in the College Park subdivision of Deer Park.
The situation stemmed from a seemingly innocuous container left behind by the home’s former owner, an antique repairman and stained glass artisan.
