Licensed Assessor/Remediator in Florida and it is crazy down here what people are doing in terms of assessments and remediation and worse in Georgia and South Carolina where there is no licensing and your informstion was great-good guidleines to follow.
The only one I know down there is Robert Pettyjohn in Wake Forest. Super nice guy. However, I've just met him at conferences but don't know/haven't seen his work
Ha! That’s where we live! Thanks for the info :) maybe we will reach out and ask him to come out. As long as we make sure he follows the guidelines of the S520
Can you explain the difference in a NAM and an air scrubber ducted out. I was planning on using the air scrubber for negative Air but see that you use a NAM.
Good question It's the exact same machine lol. The technical name is an air filtration device (AFD). If you setup an AFD with no ducting, then it's commonly called an air scrubber. Whereas if you setup an AFD with its exhaust ducted out of the containment, then it's a negative air machine. You'll see some manufacturers give another definition of air scrubber versus NAM but my memory is fuzzy. Something about the intake being at a 90 degree right angle compared to the exhaust? As a remediator, I don't really care about the manufacturers definition. To us, the definition is about how the AFD is setup
@@valormold thanks so much for your prompt reply and these videos! I have an x power scrubber on the way and was freaking out thinking I needed a NAM also. My wife is mold sensitive and we are remodeling our house. Since most flippers just cover mold up we actually prefer it this way and are living in a camper for the meantime. Yes campers are mold magnets also. Second question. What if you put a hepa filter in the plastic so that if at any point there was not enough negative air pressure then mold spores would not be able to escape through the entry? Do you offer any scheduled phone calls to further understand?
@@shaquileoatmeal7365 they didn't say HP mixed with soap. Seems like they said detergent for surface mold removal, then maybe HP for roots below the surface, then maybe alcohol mixed with soap for decontamination

Wow! Thank you for sharing this excellent video. It could literally be a life saver.
You are awesome thanks for sharing this info
What is the recommended remediation if mold was found in the HVAC and ventilation system of a small condo?
You're the real deal. Where did you go..?
Great information.
Thanks 🙂
amazing video, thank you. can you please send me a copy of the handout
Nice video!! Do you have any good recommendations for remediation in North Carolina??

Why can't you use hydrogen peroxide mixed with soap for step 3 instead of rubbing alcohol?
Why would you mix it with soap? All that does is limit hydrogen peroxides ability to penetrate the wood
