Mold fogging does not work. They can provide "clean room" samples after a fogging of the home, but the mold is still there. Find out how these companies are tricking you and why your home still has mold.

I got a 1 gallon sample from a supplier and fogged visibly stained mold. Tested before and it was live. Did a swab test 48 hrs later and no CFU were found. It did not remove the stain, but the mold was dead. A tape lift sample from my test showed no mold structures. The enzyme had dissolved them. I traditionally do a standard mold remediation job THEN I fog the areas out side of the containment area. In a video I just watched on NZMOLD, I noticed they gutted their job, looks like they did not do a good cleanup. Bulk clean up was good, but not great. They were using at the time an Air scrubber, but obviously can't tell if they did neg. air during the gutting and bulk tear out and cleanup. Perhaps not all mold remediation companies that fog enzyme are thieves or use trickery. I am proceeding slowly with the use of the enzyme mold killers. I will be retesting every year for a while to see how long tape lifts come back with no growth from known areas that had mold before treatment.
My brother is trying to rent a mold fogger machine from Home Depot the problem is their machine only says mold fogger but when I ask them if it is a cold fogger they were Clueless... I had to call and find out and somebody said that ALL MOLD Foggers happen to be COLD Foggers... by any chance would you know if this is absolutely true ?
Does your enzyme fogging eat the mycotoxins too that cause mold sickness??? What brand do you use?
I am very allergic to mold spores & their mycotoxins. I had a mold remediation co. owned by a friend of a family friend come in and he air sampled posituve light mold spore counts (100p m3) in the house we are renting. There was no visible mold or water anywhere. I was getting very itchy and mold sick from direct air blown from the heating ducts as the weather got colder & began to get very sick.
The mold guys thought the problem was very dirty ducts with mold starting to be a problem blowing through the house when the heat is on. They had their approved duct cleaner/microbe sanitizer guy come in then thet did 4 days of major air scrubbing up & downstairs.. followed by pretty industry standard Benefect fogging (both ducts & house). I find now after that thyme-based Benefect biocide is a non-enzyme only mold killer leaving dead spores & mycotoxins after use.
After they scrubbed & Benefect fogged the spores count has gone down greatly & I am not getty itchy. Unfortunately, I am still feeling quite sick (blood feels like its burning, terribly sore joints, extreme fatigue, etc. Most mold sickness medical experts attribute these symptoms to the mold mycotoxin chemical/gas given off from the mold spores... & that these gas particle are to small for Hepa scrubbers to catch.. leaving the mycotoxins still in the indoor invironment.
Additionally, if you previously lived in a toxic mold environment but are out now, regular fogging can prevent your current living space from becoming cross contaminated with mold spores from your old environment.
Wished I knew that before I brought mold to my new apartment now my symptoms are worse and I feel horrible with no where to go
Great info! Now I know why the air smells so clean after a rain.
By the time that you see mold what you're seeing is the bloom, that is to say the molds roots have already grown throughout the material and if it is beginning to spread through a reproductive cycle. It is true that many herbicides will kill mold but it will not remove the contaminant. In order to remove the contaminant that which causes health issues and illness you have to remove the material contains the contaminant. In order to identify whether a material needs to be removed due to mold embedding material or not you should contact a mold remediation expert or take some classes with a company such as normi ( National Organization of remediators and mold inspectors ) or another qualified source.
I agree if the ducts are not vacuumed out, but if you have done that..plus fogged, all the mold in the AHU and Duct system would be cleaned and and can be proven by retatakeing sample test wich can add into the overall cost. Would you agree with that?
I only bought one type of mold fogger and it never stated that it removed it. Its supposed to kill fungi, viruses and bacteria. Obviously there will need to be cleaning of the dead mold. Why anyone would think it would just magically make the mold disappear sounds more like a customer not fully understanding the product. Not necessarily being mislead. But I can see how you would say something considering you apparently run a mold remediation company that probably charges thousands of dollars more than a $30 fogger
Regardless of his delivery, which is flat, this guy is absolutely correct. There is nothing that can be sprayed or fogged that can destroy matter. What happened to the mold spores? Perhaps nothing, or perhaps they simply became smaller fragments, but they are still allergens. IICRC S-520 simply states that mold is to be removed, not covered, encapsulated, sprayed, etc. It's like spraying/fogging the dust in your home instead of simply vacuuming/damp wiping it away. Mold is actually very simple. Control the moisture and remove the spores and non-salvageable materials it's growing on. You won't find an industrial hygienist that will sign off on this. It's your money though, it's just intellectually dishonest, IMO.
How do u remove the spores from the air then?
Okay well I don't get it then. Bleach is known to kill mold, right? If I can kill mold, why would I need to remove the the materials it was growing on?
@@alexstokowsky6360 Bleach does not penetrate anything porous. Only surface kill. It can make things worse.
this presentation is incomplete - there is no mention of HEPA vacuuming before or after.
What about these cans of fog-u-mold or mold bomb fogger - do they kill mold if you spray them directly on the mold?
How can this companies claim that they fogged an area is outrageous ; when in reality it’s a mist air machine that they use and not an actual fogging machine.
So then what if we vacuum afterwards and dust? Will that prevent it from going back airborne?
This video is 100% wrong. He needs a class in mold asap. Especially if his only argument is you can still see the mold. Yes it should physically be removed. However bleached mold doesn't mean dead mold.
That's ridiculous. Pros wait a reasonable period of time before they retest for spores.
I think they are different ways of Dry Fogging. Cause the Company who gave us an estimate said there will be no moisture at all! So my question is what procedure You're talking about?
This guy😂 buddy you are straight up hating to hate. Don't discourage people from using a professional company that go to school for mold remediation. From using their insurance or paying for the remediation of mold. You might get the small company hat trick, but it's up to the consumer to go with the right company. Any licensed remediater generally uses a third party tester to assure the job has been done correctly. What do you stand to gain by stating that mold and water damage remediaters are scam artists?? You feel as though your white collar job puts you above a trade expert. I dgaf about what you know about mold. Your generalized idea about mold remediaters is complete bogus😂 never worked a trade job in your life I assume and are one of "Those" to work for.
Then all surfaces are wiped, and floors are HEPA vac.
I agree..Paid 8000 for remediation and it didn't work and used fogging and didn't work. They lie lie lie.
Did you try using concrobium and did you use a cold fogger... I'm just asking.... also please don't get and sold it when I asked you but did you stop the source of the mold cause if you don't stop it at its source it will just keep coming back
My dear friend you have been no greased by the con artist
It costs $300 for a fogger and many products under $25/gallon. Incredibly easy to remove and encapsulate with a fogger.
@@StreamingF1ydave can you list the products
@@rebeccajohnson1368 concrobium has a whole list in their site. I haven't fogged outdoor bleach from the big boxes, but I dilute to the strongest on my sprayer and you can't watch it disappear in front of you. Make sure you wear a real full face mask with organic filters. Not a fake COVID/dust mask that doesn't filter anything.
Mold is every where look around you fungi all over its part of the cycle of life keep moisture away keep mold away simple.
How do you do that find the leaks fix -house not Insulated well fix -if you can’t fix either because you have a landlord who don’t care take Measures to keep Moisture down Dehumidifier -moisture buckets -keep temp at level where mold can’t grow clean with bleach don’t over do it with bleach but make it a Habit buy a Ozone machine read the instructions please read can be dangerous but isn’t mold Dangerous everything’s dangerous just don’t be stupid.
You talk like Lenny from the movie Of mice and men.
I dont think you have scientific proof.
Nor do they,
@@andyalder7910 Wrong! The Company who made us an offer for dry cleaning gives a 1 Year warranty! You can get a 3 party to test after also!
Fogging works and this guy is not telling the truth I had three mold inspectors come to my home and they all say fogging works all of them chlorine dioxide fogging Works look it up they use it in the floods in New Orleans and save people's restaurants and everything so this guy is fibbing number 1 number 2 yes you have to have your ducts cleaned after the fogging do you make sure you get everything out of there but that's the last thing you do is a duct cleaning
Why do you do the duct cleaning after they fog and not before?
What You're saying makes no sense to clean the ducts after! You clean first ducts and heater then You Dry fog is what everyone is recommending us.
