That's correct - thanks for pointing that out.

Sounds frustrating. Also sounds like something environmental. Consider taking to your Dr. or a functional medical provider. They should be able to help you figure out what you're looking for. It might be more productive than trying to find random things wrong in your home. Best of luck.

Some companies are JUST fogging, which only knocks down airborne particulate. THAT is the problem we are highlighting. It is NOT remediation.

great question! the standard for mold remediation is removal because our bodies don't know the difference between live and dead mold. This is especially important to those with sensitivities. Fogging can be useful for knocking airborne particulate out of the air for clean up by HEPA vacuum or moist wipe. From the mold remediation standard: 4.4 Contamination Removal Physically removing mold contamination is the primary means of remediation. Mold contamination should physically be removed from the structure, systems, and contents to return them to Condition 1 (defined as a normal indoor fungal ecology). Attempts to kill, encapsulate, or inhibit mold instead of proper source removal are generally not adequate. (S520 pg. 18) 12.1.7 Misting Misting is a method of atomizing water or other aqueous solutions into the air for the purpose of controlling airborne and surface particulates during remediation. Remediators may consider misting for dust suppression and clean-up purposes. Remediators should not mist or fog disinfectants or sanitizers in an attempt to kill mold in lieu of source removal. Remediators should employ adequate engineering controls to limit the release or spread of mold or spores within the work environment. (S520 pg. 45)

Thanks for watching (and commenting).

Who scammed who now? Not sure we understand your comment.

using makeup to look like mold is scamming the investigator the epa has no standards for mold test results and state no testing is required which is true if the investigator is not being scammed

Thanks for the comments and welcome to the industry! We document all jobs using CompanyCam. We also use it to create reports for inspections/assessments and final documentation - including thermal imaging, moisture mapping, daily moisture readings and monitoring etc.

Thanks - DES! Focusing on great client service and removing any leverage the carrier has - help take unneeded stress out of the situation.

Thank you, John - we really appreciate that!!!

Most industries have associations.

Sorry you're dealing with that - if you need assistance check out Dr. Jill Crista ua-cam.com/channels/ts7m_lI3g8qYWIi45dlO3w.html

Thanks for checking us out and for the feedback.

@nakabuujackie3902 - every situation is different. There are MANY factors that go into it. Sorry you didn't get the information you wanted.

@TVB There are good and bad in every industry and walk of life. Doesn't matter if they're blue-collar or white-collar. The bad ruin in, but there are plenty of good people and companies out there doing the right thing.

@kwan ang - frost on nails and sheathing is usually an indication that too much heat from the living space below is escaping into the attic during cold weather. The black moisture staining may be from the same issue and may or may not be microbial in nature). Ensure you have the right amount of insulation, there are no gaps in insulation, and look for places where air can easily escape into the attic e.g. uninsulated whole house fans, recessed lighting, the attic access panel or ladder, and gaps around utilities.

My builder told me that frost on the nails is a sign of lack of ventilation.

@@tompem ventilation is one of the the most common factors. If heat gets into a cold attic, good ventilation will get it out. BUT, wouldn't it be more prudent to air seal and insulate the attic so heat stays in the living space and DOESN'T need to be ventilated out?🤔

Them that there because then

@judil3294, it really can be a nightmare to deal with! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you

Was also wondering why this was done, I also hold a mold license here in Texas. The only thing I can think of was just to make this video 🤔

This drywall was removed. We HEPA-vacuumed it before tearing it out to reduce the amount of mold becoming airborne.

@Reliable Remediation wouldn't running the bristles over the mold create more disturbance though? There's over a million mold spores on a surface area the size of a pin head. Using a Sawzall or a kett saw would greatly reduce the mold dispersion because rather that agitating every square inch of mold (which is what's happening when you touch said mold with the vacuum attachment) you only agitate the space that's touched by the blade and it does a much better job of isolating the spread of those particles. I'm not here to question your tactics, just be careful doing that because you could get a hefty fine that way. Plus, it creates a greater risk of the mold spreading even farther and potentially making the post remediation cleanup alot longer. Just some tips I've learned. You can take them or leave them. Over my 9 year career as a mold remediation tech and now a manager I've failed 1 job out of probably a ywhere between 350-375. And the job I did fail barely failed because I was working in an 1100 square foot containment and I forgot to change the filter on one of my big air scrubbers.

I appreciate the input. Because I'd rather not argue the finer points in this forum, I guess we'll agree to disagree. No hard feelings - I appreciate the back and forth. Thanks!

$3k that's what the customer told us. ER after hours on a Saturday...

There are good and bad in any brand. This equipment was all powered with a power distribution box converting 220...which was sitting in the water. 🤯

@@reliableremediation 🤣🤣🤣 wow. Pure genius. If nothing else, the fear of being shocked to death should have made them extract that water 🤣

@@brandonmcneil1937 It was extracted, but it shouldn't have been because the water was still coming in. When I spoke to the PM he told me the equipment wasn't supposed to be placed here, it was supposed to be on another job entirely. I think that sums up what a clusterf*** this particular office is.

They extracted...but the water was still coming in.

There are many products that can be used. Fogging any of them is simply not remediation.

I personally never have used a fogger on any of my mold remediation jobs. We remove affected materials, sand, treat and dry.
