- In this video I spray the attic side of the roof plywood that was afflicted with patches of black mold with this Concrobium Mold Control solution. You may be asking, "Does Concrobium work?". The solution will not penetrate a solid barrier. How long does Concrobium Mold Control take to dry? Drying time depends on humidity levels and temperature in the area as well as the surface to which the solution was applied. Generally, it will dry in less than 2 hours.
Is Concrobium toxic?
Concrobium Mold Control is non-toxic and is made up of water and food-grade, inorganic salts making it safe for septic systems. Concrobium Mold Control effectively eliminates and prevents mold with no bleach, ammonia or VOCs. Concrobium works as it dries by crushing the mold spores at the source, leaving behind an invisible antimicrobial barrier to prevent future mold growth. Concrobium Mold Control is an innovative, market-leading product that effectively eliminates existing mold, prevents mold re-growth and eliminates musty odors with no harmful chemicals. The unique technology is used by homeowners, professional remodelers, contractors and remediators.
Today, I'm going to be spraying for some mold up in this attic. I'm going to use this Concrobium Mold Control product here. Got this from Home Depot, and it's quite spendy, so go ahead and use this, trying to cover all the surface up there. I'll show you some video of what we're going to be doing. A Well, here's kind of some of the reason we're doing this in the first place. This area is not too bad, but you can see that mold starts to grow in there all along there as well. So what's going to happen is that stuff will just keep spreading and spreading. But before we get the insulation back in here, this has to be done. And it's all along here as well. Show you some areas that are a little bit worse too. See, this looks pretty good in this area here. But see those dark spots there and the growth there. So you can see we got the start of some here along the trusses as well.
Here's my approach to this. I got some boards laid out across here. Here's the very far one, and then I'll be laying in this one. And then I can cover one, two, three all at once just by laying in here. And I've got it as far down as I can, you know, without smacking my head on the nails above. But I can get all the way down there, here and here with the sprayer. Then I'll move over to the middle one of the next three. Okay, I'm getting my area kind of staged up here. And then I'll go down and get my suit on and my respirator head and get this charged up. So that way, when I crawl back up here, all I got to do is grab the nozzle and get to work. There's some more areas all along there, some more here all along this truss here is starting to grow. There's some real bad areas up in this Dormer up here.
Here it is the next day. Went through and took a look at what the results of that Concrobium were, and it looks the same to me. So if you want to really get rid of the stains from the mold in your wood here, get some dry ice. Have a contractor come in and blast it with some dry ice, and then that'll make it look new. That's what these companies use. Otherwise, you're going to be looking at this unless you scrub it off by hand. You can do that too. That Concrobium, what they do is they'll say, "All right, you know what? What they recommend is that you spray it on, and it seals it and it keeps it from growing. It kills it. It keeps it from growing more. But you'll still have the staining from the existing mold on there. You can scrub it off by hand with some more Concrobium, like on a rag or a brush, and clean it up to make it look kind of, you know, kind of like that. But I've sprayed all of this 100%, every square inch. And that's what the result is. And I'm having to take their word that it works because it looks the same. So if you're looking to resell your house or anything like that, your building inspector is going to come up here and go, "Whoa, you got black mold." And unless they know how to test it that it's living or, you know, not spreading, how would you know otherwise? Visually, it looks like it's existing. So that's what you get when you buy this stuff. And it's not cheap. So I recommend you have somebody come in and blast it with a chemical agent or dry ice. And a lot of these guys, though, they use dry ice because that way it's not leaving your house with some kind of chemical agent that you're exposed to or you have to leave the house for any period of time. But anyway, that's what we're left with here. All right, you guys. Thanks a lot.Ideal for

I did same for my attic today. I used Concrobium, it smells a lot when I sprayed on black mold till next day morning even in my bedroom in the night. But after going there after a week I see lot of improvement in the smell but stains remain, Concrobium kills and keeps mold from growing back but RMR-86 simply removes stains and mold will grow back. First use Concrobium then use RMR-86 for more effective cleaning. Concrobium is much cheaper than RMR-86.
Thanks for your input. Great comment.
If you were getting sick from the the air quality and breathing in the spores and micotoxins it puts in the air than you would really notice how good this product actually works. My sinusss clog up and my chest tightens and my muscles Get sore when im around
Toxic mold and when i lived in a apartment that had mold behind the walls i couldnt tear
The wall out so everytime i felt the symptoms coming i clean
The area Then hit everything with concrobium and go back in
There and i can breath again and my body aches dont come
Back i dont feel so ran down and irritable. So i mean if your looking to remove the stain comcobium isnt the best option and it says that right On the bottle i think. But if your looking to treat mold and keep it from spreading for air quality or health reasons and tearing out a wall or ceiling that has mold isnt an option than concrobium is the is the best stuff on the shelves and its non toxic and unscented so healthier than bleach and more affective. But for long standing stains youd wanna go with a “mold stain remover” product first then go over
It with a good antimicrobial like concrobium. Or tea tree oil is fantastic just need alot of it and its not the cheapest stuff. Concrobium is just a mixture of litrisodium phosphate, caustic soda, and baking soda i believe. Its safe to use
On any materials to and fabrics which not alot of bleach based mold products arent safe on porous materials which spores will latch into forever if you let them. GREAT product its the first one id recommend off the shelf to anyone struggling with a mold allergy or mold toxicity in their living spaces because its helped improve me quality of life alot which means more to me than removing the stain. For an attic or ceiling space like that i would spray a strong food grade hydrogen peroxide all over than and thatd probably kill the mold and take The stain right with it
Wow great input. Thanks!
agreed! It's been three weeks since my work in the attic (which included all the concrobium I could spray) and the insulation replacement, and my whole hypersensitive family noticed a remarkable improvement of the air quality - sniffles are gone, sneezes are gone - overall, it does feel really better. A test in a few months will hopefully validate this "feeling" with hard data.
Please keep us informed. Thanks
@@paolodaniele5693 Can we do this while insulation is on. I ordered RMR-86 from Amazon as that is not available in local stores, UPS is playing games by delaying the delivery. Contractors will come to place new insulation in 1 day. I might have to put RMR-86 after insulation is added. In the meantime I used 3 gallons of Concrobium to spray on mold and see next day the stains are still there but lot of improvement in the mold growth. Want to put RMR-86 after blown-in insulation added by placing plastic sheets on insulation so that the stains will not spoil insulation. Not sure if this works, but no other choice.
Thanks for the informative video! I am planning to do mold removal in my attic by blasting it with baking soda, and then spraying the concrobium. Maybe a bit overkill, but I think the concrobium will cover anything I may have missed with the blasting. That said, you are right, the staining won't go away with concrobium alone, that's why they sell their own stain remover.
Awesome. Glad u liked it. Best of luck to you!
Id hit it with the concrobium first then do your baking soda blast then go back over with the concrobium again a second time. And if ur gunna do the baking soda id go with super washing soda and borax. Both cheap washing soda is just a stronger harsher version of baking soda. And borax is probably more affective on mold but both work great together. Theres no such thing as over kill with mold because its very tricky to remediate once it starts spreading And if you dont find and fix the moisture source of That causes the mold it just keeps coming back again because mold spores stick to everything and are hard to get rid of in porous material so once the humiditys right again the spores find their way to it and all a sudden you have mold again. Weird thing mold is and not alot of people know much about it so when you start to get really sick from it most doctors dont really know what to do besides maybe run a test to check your levels of micotoxins and some places may be able to test for what kind of mold you have in your system but other than that if Your sick Enough you gotta find some specialist that costs alot of money . And some people that get really ill from long term exposure to toxic mold they get to a safer living space and still are trying to recover couple or few years
Down the road its super
Sad. Being sick from toxic mold exposure is really strange and awful and it was hard for me
To pin point because i knew
Nothing about toxic mold sickness so i thought it was everything else but that till i realized their was a company doing construction on my appartment building because of water damage and i saw
Them removing mold on the outside walls of the building.
@@derekmason7507 cheers. After the old/contaminated insulation was all removed, I wiped the entire attic with microfiber towels lightly dipped in dish soapy water, hepa vacuumed everything, then blasted with baking soda, vacuumed again, and finally coated everything in concrobium. Then I replaced all faulty ducts with clean ones, installed them properly, insulated them, then reinsulated the attic. Now I am done and tired. Mad respect for attic/roof workers. High five!
@paolodaniele5693 wow, that's a lot of work (my attic is probably 2000 Sq feet of surfaces) and I have to do the same thing, how much did you spend on insulation? I know it's not cheap...
@@andrewf2630 not cheap indeed - mine is 1010sq ft, and got charged $3,800 for R49 blown-in cellulose and air sealing all wall plates and visible penetrations (I am in Oregon - I imagine prices may vary by location) - that was after some haggling and price-matching/beating other quotes. I got 6 quotes in total, some were absolutely wild with the price as if I was buying platinum insulation, while most were pretty comparable. After I picked the company I wanted, they gave me discounts for providing a lot of the plastic sheeting needed to isolate the attic-front door walkthrough area from the rest of the house (got good price off Amazon for 6mm sheeting), and a discount for paying cash. Finally, I got a rebate from my local utility company so I recouped almost a 1/3 of that expense. I am relatively lucky that my attic is not complicated, so my DIY work was hard, but probably not as hard as other attics I've seen online.
Use a fogger. Probably get 5x the coverage.
Thanks for your expertise
Buy the concrobium stain eraser.
Right on!

If it was me I’d go for it vs facing the alternative. I think protecting insulation with plastic is a good way to go if you can. I havn’t tested whether or not it will spoil the insulation when coming into contact. My feeling is that if it will likely dry especially if you applied a breeze via fan. It probably depends on how much exposure as well. Maybe if lightly exposed less problem then getting saturated. Just speculation as I havn’t proved it out.
