This video is the best, honest, real world approach ever.
You said it best when you said you are saving us thousands.
Thank you so much
You are welcome. God bless you.
I can't thank you enough! We bought a medical-grade air scrubber off of FB Marketplace ($250) with a brand new $150 filter in it all ready and set up containment at the top of our basement steps. We made sure to shut off the HVAC and seal the registers with 6 mil plastic. Per your recommendation, I used all the correct PPE and had no issues at all with the chemicals. I HEPA vacuumed the walls and joists and sprayed the RMR 86 to treat the stains and then the 141-antifungal made by the same company over all the walls and joists. You saved us $5-6K (those were the bids we got). Thank you for putting this information out here, truly appreciate you!
Praise the Lord! So happy to help. God bless you
This is the best explanation video on such problem, thank you Sean!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching
Good info, Sean. As a seamless gutter installer, I see lots of houses with heat loss in their attics leading to melting snow and the formation of ice dams. So warmer air/ insulation, venting issues in your attic can lead to problems inside and out.
Thanks for sharing, Will.
hi Sean! Wanted to give you a shout out. a couple hundred dollars / a couple of hours and my mold problems are solved! what a relief! glad I found your video! thank you sir!
Amen, friend! Praise be to God!

Best video I have found -- home owner in 22yr home and have partial barriers crawl space years ago but still have to fight mold blooms about every 5 yrs. open foundation vents. This weekend discovered mildew mold along several rafters in the attic.... If you can respond why would I find the gray mildew or mold just along one side of the 2x4 rafter in several places just in the last few years..... in 18 yrs never had a problem. Spent the day clearing soffit area and resetting the baffles then spraying the joists.(also real surprising that I cant find an answer too --- why just on the rafters up by the roof - plywood sheeting was not affected. only sheeting affected was 2 small places back corner by bathroom.
It is probably due to temperature gradients. Sometimes one side of a roof or attic will have a temp switch faster than the rest and condensation can happen. On those surfaces mold can begin to grow. Very likely the humidity from in that bathroom made its way up to the attic and the added humidity was enough for the condensation and mold growth. Maybe also check the vent line to make sure a mouse didn't chew a hole in it somewhere.
Thanks for the video Sean. Very helpful. I'm renovating a house in PA where the builder did a lot of things wrong. Bathroom exhaust venting straight to attic, Improper basement finishing, ... I'm making corrections and your videos are very helpful. We do run humidifiers in the bedrooms over the winter but we also have humidity monitors in each room. Levels are around 35-40% with the humidifiers on. Any issues with this? If the humidifiers are off it drops below 30% which is pretty dry.
I’d say the key consideration is how much of a temperature change you are getting in the attic. The lower the temp is in the attic from your living space, the more moisture from humidity can condense out on the surface of the wood sheeting of the roof. If you go up there and things are dry and no mold then you should be okay. If you’re getting mold growth you’ll need to work toward not providing the added moisture to the air so that it’s not available for the mold etc. sometimes, though, you’ll be okay and not have mold growth, so just go up there and take a peak at how things look. Look for fuzzy whit mold growth on older types of wood and green or black growth on plywood or participle board. If you have mold, consider using the cleaning products mentioned in the description and then lower the moister and monitor it over time to see if it comes back. Hope that helps.
Wow thanks so much! Cancelled my peroxide/brush order and got this instead. You really got my hopes up so this is better work :). I DIY'd foil insulation onto my top rafters and a year later discovered that the the sun-less side turned into a white mold farm :S
This stuff is amazing! If you have plywood or osb board it works wonders. God bless you.
Got Mold! BIG help.
Great. Be careful and stay hydrated if working on it in a warm time of year.

@@seansoutdoors Thank you for the kind words.
I wanted to ask if you ever used or had experience with using the "corona discharge type of ozone generators"
for assistance with the mold removal process .
I have a 40,000 mg per hour Corona discharge unit , and and 20,000 mg per hour unit left from my auto recon detail shop. I am also purchasing a gal of the "MMR" liquid from Amazon to treat a 10 foot long section of black mold growing on the ceiling between one of the rafters in my basement .
Im sure it would be deadly to use both the MMR & OZONE at the same time , So i was considering aiming the "03 ozone gas" at the area for 2 hours either before or after using the MMR.
FYI- I noticed a similar product sold on Amazon called RMRI briefly looked at it out of curiosity, but I purchased the MMR that you recommended. THANX AGAIN.
Joe
@@thegeneraljoe67 I have not used one of those before. I would recommend just waiting until the MMR is totally dry before implementing the Ozone machine. God bless you.
Thank you is very informative yes please make a nother video on mold in the basement again thank you
Yes I will do that. I did do a video on finished the basement and avoid mold but not on mold yet. I'll probably do that this winter when I have more time
ua-cam.com/video/94avMaUlLEs/v-deo.html
Thanks for the information Sean, much appreciated. It sounds like this product is excellent, especially on osb/plywood, but not as well on old planks. Do you have experience on how to increase the effectiveness on old planks? Thanks in advance.
It should still work on old planks I would think.
Seriously good stuff
Thanks. God bless you
Great video. Ironically i tried this once with a regular household chlorox product and it returned. Our gable vents got caked up from having both gable vents and the attic fan. I will try this again now that the vents are cleared and with this product which i assume is better than regular chlorox type sprays? Is it a better concentration? What helps it penetrate the wood? Also, do you think it is ok to spray insulation foam after this is cleaned with the hypochlorite spray or will mold grow beneath the spray foam insulation? I subscribed. God bless...
I do think it is stronger and better than regular Clorox spray. I think this stuff works very well
My attack ventilation is so compromised by my air handler and my crappy attack drop down door.
That is unfortunate, God bless you
I am trying to obtain more information on this MMR Product. According to the label and other sources online" Officially- MMR does not "Kill" mold, it removes the physical stain left by the mold.
To properly remove mold is a 2-step process that requires the use of the Onslaught EPA Registered Mold Killer after the mold stain has been removed with MMR. For residential cleaning, most folks are satisfied with the MMR and use it on a regular basis. "
I have read that the mold spores need to be killed and removed via Hepa vacuuming in order to stop cross-contamination, health issues, regrowth, etc.? Can you please advise regarding this? Blessings to you.
Mold spores are in the air everywhere. Even if you set up a negative air containment system and got all the spores out of the air, the moment you take it down new spores will float in. The key is to not give them what they need to grow. They need moisture and organic substance. The easiest to remove is the moisture needed to support mold growth. If moisture is there with enough abundance mold will begin to grow again even if you killed what was there before. Even if you did not kill the mold that was there before, if you remove the moisture it will not be able to grow.
@@seansoutdoors Thank you
What do you think of concrobium? Better, worse? Seems like it requires less ppe. Curious.
I’m not familiar with it so I have no idea what it even is.
Thank you! Do you have any specific tips for mold in trusses that were installed that way when the home was built? No mold on the roofing or sheaths just the trusses. I’m also mold sensitive and am seeking the healthiest way for me to fix this and still be able to live here or I’ll have to move. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
If you were a relative of mine asking me this is say just spray it with the solution I talked about in the video and I'd urge you to make sure to wear all of the necessary personal protective gear..
thank you your awesome God bless

You can purchase MMR at local box stores and don't have to use Amazon for this.
Great
What product do you use I didn't see it anywhere. Thank you for the video
Read the description section of the video below. It is all listed there
Should i put plastic sheeting down before spraying the mold to cover the insulation and to help with clean up? As in does this product run down the walls pool?
You don't need to in my experience
I thought I’d accidentally opened up The Exorcist
Lol!
Back in 2014 i had a company put insulation in my attic. My attic has fiberglass insulation in the roof rafters and what they did was put cellulose insulation on the attic floor but left the fiberglass insulation in the roof rafters. Today I had another company take a look at my house because there's water damage in the drywall in one of the rooms. They said they found mold and condensation because of bad insulation. They said the company that did the insulation should have removed the fiberglass insulation in the roof rafters and failed to install any baffles completely sealing the attic... What are ways to fix this? They want to kill the mold and redo the attic insulation.
I do have humidifier installed on my furnace so i guess i should be turning that off.
Sounds like you've already stated the things you need to do.
Great video.What is the best way to insulated a hip roof?Since you can only do so in the center ridge section
That's a question for a contractor, I don't want to give you the wrong data but I'd suggest spray foam if it's possible because it helps eliminate the temperature gradient on the sheeting surface
@@seansoutdoors Thank you.Your video was quite helpful...have you seen mold on spray foam insulation?I am considering it cause I do have a hip roof.
@@edwintorres2568 No, I have not.
Do you need to rent an air scrubber when using the MMR chemical to make sure the attic air is filtered and cleaned.
If there is a bad mold problem you probably have elevated levels of mold spores in the Air from that which an air scrubbers would help to remove the floating mold spores in the air.
The act of spraying the MMR wouldn't require it though because it actually dissolved the mold on contact, it doesn't put it airborne like scrubbing or sanding it would. So if you are just spraying it on you would probably be okay without an air scrubber as long as you are wearing all of the recommended personal protection gear. But if you want to lower existing levels of mold spores in the air then an air scrubber would help if it is set up and vented properly.
What about using an attic vent? Will that help?
@@rootesmusic7347 Will that help in the cleaning process or to simply help prevent mold from happening? In both cases, it really depends on where and how it is installed and all the other components of the roofing system, such as ridge vents or things like that.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures just during the cleaning process
@@rootesmusic7347 If you are doing physical removal by scrubbing of any type, then you will be putting a LOT of mold spores in the air and will definitely want an air scrubber. If you are not doing any physical scrubbing and are just spraying the mold stain remover on it, you may have less of a need for an air scrubber. The vent may help in the sense of having a place for the chlorine smell to go if you are using the MMR, but it isn't going to provide a significant difference otherwise, in most instances.
When you have sprayfoam applied to the roof sheathing do you seal up the attic completely, making it a conditioned space. Or do you still allow airflow from the outside into the attic.
Great video thanks for letting us know about the ways of dealing with mold in the attic.
Spray foam will help prevent the temperature gradient on the surface of the woods and therefore will help prevent mold growth from taking place on the wood. Ventilation is still a good idea in that space.
Thank you for this video! I have mold in my attic. The soffit vents were blocked. Do you think that was the reason of the mold? I have a ridge vent and enough soffit vents. Thank you.
It's hard to say without seeing it but possibly.
@@seansoutdoors thank you 🙏
@@seansoutdoors One more question, is baffle vents or rafter vents are required to avoid moisture on Sheathing?
@@konuralpkarakecili3040 You will need to check with local code requirements for that question.
So what's your take on radiant barriers. I've seen some on a roofing plywood but what would be the positives and negative to properly use effectively
They may be useful in various applications but there are some limitations in the basement foundation wall location. If there is no painted sealant on the wall I’d say it could be used but if there is any form of paint on the wall already you are basically guaranteeing mold growth on it when you apply the barrier on top of it. In an attic situation, it could certainly help keep condensation from occurring directly on the wood as long as you ensure that you do not have any air gap between the barrier and the wood. You could also run into some issues if the nails that hold down the shingles pierce the barrier all over and cause air gaps and other temperature gradient issues at that compromised location where the nail is.
Shouldn't I kill the mold in addition to removing the stain with the RMR-86? (The RMR-86 doesn't kill mold.) If so, what should I use to kill the mold, and should I apply it before or after the RMR-86?
This stuff completely dissolves it, it is gone! Nothing else is needed
You dont use RMR 141 after RMR 86?
We have mold in are trailer it's on the walls!! What couses it and will them mold removal spray ur tolking about work to clean are walls and cabinets
The mold cleaning spray I was talking about is way too corrosive for living space. You would not want to use it. In your situation I would use more of a standard indoor cleaning agent like Lysol 401 spray and wipe the walls down really good. The reason you are getting mold on the wall is probably because insulation in trailers is very poor and you’re getting a temperature gradient on the walls in the winter time. Propane heating can also be a contribution to it. The heat on the inside, with the poor insulation in the walls, and the cold outside creates a significant temperature gradient. And that temperature gradient is allowing condensation whether you notice it or not. Even a slight amount of humidity provides mold the opportunity to grow.
Ok thanks so much brother!! We use propane heater that's probably the problem!! Hope u have a blessed night
What is the name of the mold remover?
Links for it in the description section
Hello Sean, does this product work for white mold? We had it tested and it is called penicillium. Thank you
Yes.
Hi,. I have attic mold. It's been there for years and I now had someone to come clean it up. But there is still mold there. A bs it's still black. What is the name of the the product u used
There is a link for it in the description section of the video. Mold stain remover
What do you use to remove mold stains?
It's linked in the description
I have attic mold, the light green fuzzy kind. The guy I had to come look at the project said that if we only sprayed it, it would spread the spores..and that's why the HEPA vac was necessary. Can you help me understand how this can be avoided? thanks! (PS: the source of mold has been fixed).
If you were scrubbing the mold with a wire brush or sand paper like they used to do, then you would need an air scrubber with HEPA filter and containment barrier with negative air, etc. However, when you spray this bleach based solution on it that I talked about in this video it desolves the mold so it's not making the mold spores to go airborne like scrubbing it does.
@@seansoutdoors Alright, I appreciate your quick response. I'm trying to decide which route to go but I want to be safe and avoid the spores from moving in to the living area. I also have been encouraged to remove all the insulation. You cannot see any mold on it. Do you feel it's necessary to do that? Thank you!
@@kimtyler9684 It really depends. You're probably fine leaving it. There are mold spores in the air everywhere. Even after this is totally cleaned there will be naturally occurring mold spores in the air. The key is removing the moisture problem that is allowing the mold to grow. For you, you are probably having a temperature gradient on the surface of the sheeting that is causing condensation and then mold growth. To minimize or remove this situation, you need to reduce the humidity level in the house. Sometimes this is done by not running a humidifier in the heating season, and running a dehumidifier in the basement.
@@seansoutdoors Okay, many thanks. The problem was actually from the attic fan being covered for a month (and finding out that the bathroom vent was dumping into the attic!) Once we uncovered the fan the mold stopped growing. Now we just need to remove it and clean up. And redirect the bathroom fan. Thanks for all of your help. You are superb :)
hi there! great video! Wondering If I can use the solution you recommended in a mold fogger? thank you!

@@seansoutdoors thanks again! god bless!
Everyone talks about the mold on sheathing rafters and what not. But what about the mold found on the sheetrock or plaster ceiling under the insulation in the attic? What can be done about getting rid of that without tearing the whole ceiling down?
I ask because I'm helping a friend out with roof and attic insulation repair/replace and once the insulation was pulled up - I found a mold/mildew on the attic side of the ceiling (which is plaster), everywhere there was a roof leak. And there were a lot of roof leaks apparently... I'd like to kill all that mold off before replacing the insulation.
Any spray on remedy for that type issue?
The EPA recommends removal of the compromised components.
@@seansoutdoors - Yeah, I kinda figured they would. That would mean a whole house removal of the ceiling plaster... Which I did bring up to the owner of the house.
The plaster is still sound. I was hoping for an alternative to suggest to them as a remedy.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
cheers...
You are welcome. The only thing you could do is try wiping it clean to see if it can be removed from the plaster but more than likely it has grown roots down into it and will need to be removed. Your comment is the exact reason why mold removal is so expensive. God bless you.
@@seansoutdoors - This is on the back side of the plaster ceiling. The side one would see in the attic. The unfinished paper side.
I just got through spraying the whole attic with Concrobium Mold Control. Both wood and the top side of the plaster. It's supposed to eliminate and prevent mold and mildew etc etc... "for existing and new construction."
But I'll be honest, this claim it "crushes" the mold including black mold fungus etc, as it dries killing it.... to me sounds like total bullshit.
Anyway, it's all been sprayed. I'll know in a couple days once it dries if it works. And that's on the wood and plaster since both were sprayed. And by spraying I mean saturated everything.
The MMR Mold Stain Remover is instant. The visible mold dissolves within a few seconds of being treated by it. I'm not sure about the other stuff you mentioned.
What is the name of product and where do I buy it
It is in the description section of the video.
Hi Sean so running any humidifier in winter is bad here in PA? Our house get so dry in the winter that my skin feels like leather.
I would suggest just keeping an eye on the impact it has. If it’s causing mold growth in the attic and in the home then trim it back. If, in your living environment it’s not causing any problems then you should be okay. A lot will depend on how well your attic is insulated and vented.

Sean's Outdoor Adventures Thank you Sean. I’ve emailed you!
Got it and responded. God bless you
I heard pool chlorine works wonders on this after solving the humidity issues. Anybody use this fix?
I have not
Hey, my basement humidity is at 35-40%, but upstairs is around 60-65%, if I put my dehumidifier in the basement it does not help up here. What should I do? In the summer is crazy, I get 95%+ humidity downstairs, and 85%+ here, I don't know what to do. My house is 60 years old and does not has an air exchanger.
The temperature has a role to play. Lower temps can't hold as much moisture in the air. So the basement is typically colder than the upstairs throughout the year. The key is whether or not you have condensation occurring in the winter on the windows. If so, then there is too much humidity. If your dehumidifier in the basement is not strong enough it won't reduce it enough for the house. If you have a humidifier in the heating system, then that is why your humidity is so much higher humidity upstairs
@@seansoutdoors, my dehumidifier is 50 pint, when I turn it on it reduces the humidity to 40% or less, but the upstairs will continue at 70%+ in the summertime. During the winter my windows get a lot of condensation, that is why I have mould in the windows. Should I have two dehumidifiers?
@@brunomourasilva6247 Maybe you should just run a second one upstairs since that is the case.
@@seansoutdoors, I see. They are too noisy, thanks.

I would not use it on a shingle. It is too corrosive.

@@seansoutdoors Hello Sean. Do you think a dehumidifier on my second floor bathroom (floor below attic) would help reduce water in the air going into attic or is the heat clashing with cold air in the attic the really issue? In other words, if hot air is making its way into attic regardless of humility level in that air, the temperature difference will case condensation, and therefore mold? Thanks, Mark

what at is the name of the product you use and will it work on mold that has been in an attic for a while.The original owner vented the bathroom fan in the attic but if fixed that and now go out the end of the home and the Duct work is insulated .I hope that helps.I am seriously thinking about replacing all the plywood on the roof when I install new shingles or metal roofing. The house id due for a new roof soon.I have a roof vent as well as a gable ind fentd but I am afraid mold is still growing in the attic.
The details of the product are in the description section of this video. It works impressively well on OSB and plywood but not as nicesly on old planks.
@@seansoutdoors ok thanks
do you see this as a permanent solution once additional exhaust fans or similar were added.Do you know if it works on mold stains that are 10 years old.I sure which I had addressed the issue but I figured the largest gable end vents and a ridge vent would have done it but I never knew about the loss of heat through the ceiling being the culprit.
@@terrymunn1224 It should take out 10 year old stains. If you have corrected the moisture source than this should work for you. This will remove the existing mold and without the moisture it should not be able to grow back. If it grows back that means you have not fully corrected the moisture problem.
@@seansoutdoors ok, thanks you very much.
Great video! Is there a mold test kit that you recommend? I don't have any mold visible, so I'm looking for an airborn test, if one is available.
No store bought ones are worth a thing. The design of them is it for mold spore lands on the dish it will begin to grow. The problem with that is that there are mold spores in the air everywhere even if there’s not a real problem. What you really need is to have it tested by a professional that can draw air through a testing canister, but that is pretty expensive. When I used to do it for a living people were charging anywhere from $350-$650 just to come out and test your air.

Only if you corrected the moisture problem that allow the problem to start in the first place.

These videos should start out saying " How to get rid of mold?" Step 1- have a lot of money! Lol
Yup
Attic fans will suck conditioned air into your attic - unless your attic is air sealed, the power attic fan will cause mold.
I've never seen it cause mold, probably because it is moving air, but that's not to say it couldn't happen depending on the ventilation.
ps cool logo
Thank you
Sean, what is the difference between the MMR and the RMR-86?
I suspect it's a different company or branding. Probably not much if any different in use or result
There is so much in this video that goes against normal professional advice and also common sense. I’m not at all questioning your knowledge or experience, but I am stating a fact here, so I do think some things require more explanation:
1) Your recommending keeping the humidity as low as possible during the winter? This is a health hazard. Humidity needs to be in the 45-55 range year round, and this is nearly impossible to do in older homes without humidifiers cranking, and especially in the winter when air is cold and therefore more dry. I am baffled by this advice. Please explain.
2) Youre recommending to insulate the roof of the attic? This is quite literally against every roofing professional’s advice I’ve ever talked to. It has always made sense to me from a common sense standpoint, but the theory is it destroys shingles by encouraging more heat on the roof surface and creates even more mold issues unless the attic has active air ducts running to it to regulate temperature. Essentially, isn’t the goal to make the inside attic temperature similar to then outside temp as to avoid the temperature gradient that causes condensation? How would insulating the inside roof not negatively affect this effort?
3) What about mention of natural mold killing alternatives like hydrogen peroxide and/or vinegar? These are supposedly very effective for porous materials like attic wood
4) Your mention of hearing info pertaining to air flow interruption in attic by use of gable vents along side other venting systems isn’t just a myth. There are plenty of research papers and anecdotal experiences of this being true. I don’t fully understand it because I’m not the expert, but it involves short circuiting and interrupting flow that is supposed to be from low to high with horizontal motion. Tons of people have solved their attic issues by simply sealing their gable vent.
Thanks for the video and the info!

Natural humidity in the winter can be 20 or 30 percent indoors. How is that a health hazard? If anything you'll need some lotion for your hands but I'm not aware of risk to health because of natural humidity levels that exist far below 45 to 55 percent. By adding all of that unnatural humidity in the air in the house you are going to have it come back out of the air, and that will typically happen on the sheeting in the attic which often results in mold.
Regarding natural products like hydrogen peroxide, they do not remove the presence or staining of mold. If you want to restore the wood to pre mold appearance, the MMR type of product is the only thing I used that was able to do that.
Regarding the insulation against the sheeting, that should be clarified that it would be good for metal roof applications as opposed to asphalt shingle.
God bless you
@@seansoutdoors Thank you for the response
Not once did I hear you mention air sealing. Sad.
Sorry to make you feel sad.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures sir, I don't feel sad. It is sad that you didn't mention air sealing. Thank you for the reply.
@@alfredhall6132 Sir, air sealing is not necessary for this method of cleaning. When you are disturbing through traditional forms of mold remediation, such as sanding and scrubbing and sending the mold spores airborn that you need to contain the area and set up air scrubbers. This method, however, does not employ any of those methods. This approach involves you spraying on a chemical that dissolves the mold on contact. Nothing is being sent airborn, hence, you do not need to set up air containment while treating.
Agreed. Air containment is not needed for Attic mold. What I meant by air sealing is sealing the pipes and wire air chases. But you probably knew that.
@@alfredhall6132 no
i would just like to hide from people in the attic
It gets pretty hot up there during the day
My wife is for Sale
Sounds odd
No Spray foam on attic ceiling. It kills your shingle. Many insurance companies will not insure the roof. Many roofers will have issues with even doing the job. And spray foam is toxic!!
How exactly does that ruin the shingle?
@@seansoutdoors It traps heat against it. There are roofers who have done UA-cam videos on it.
So you're saying shingles can handle the intense high heat but this causes that to heat up so much higher that it ruins the roof?
In their testing what did they say was the difference in surface temperature between the two types of roof? Also, I imagine that's shingle only not metal roof that are ruined by spray foam insulation is that right, since it doesn't rely on tar like he adhesive to hold it together.
@@seansoutdoors Correct. Metal roofs do not have this problem, only the asphalt. I checked with my roofer and he confirmed. He said the shingle companies might not provide full warranty and he himself would not install the roof. I'm in chicago area.
Sounds like metal roofs are more durable
Sounds like a product plug from beginning to end ..."Honestly...." is always a give away. No real demonstration and several product plugs. Must be a product endorsement. Not helpful to me.
Lol, the stuff works great. I used to run a mold remediation company, sold it because I was tired of getting exposed. This stuff amazed me when it came out. Fast forward, I started a UA-cam channel as a hobby. Later came to learn you can start an Amazon affiliate program. Was thinking of some videos I could do so, yes, I mentioned the product and provide links, but the stuff is amazing. It literally dissolves the mold into nothing. I didn't do any demonstration because I was no longer in that line of work so didn't have a moldy attic to go spray it on but the pictures were from actual jobs I did when in business. Take it or leave it but the stuff is amazing. God bless
