I hate the vastly differing methods to get rid of mould,I’ve heard white vinegar works great from mould experts that have been doing their job for 40 plus years,yet others say it doesn’t,it’s crazy
There are over 100,000 different species of mold. Apparently, white vinegar has the ability to kill 82% of those species. If you have mold that falls into the remaining 8% species that vinegar can't eliminate, then....
Mold
@@plandl1 The correct English spelling is 'mould.'
That’s the British way of spelling
Don’t listen to this dude, he’s full of it
This man is a professional. He’s been trained to remove mold.
IICRC states that you remove 12 to 24 inches of building material past the area of water damage. It's the only sure fire way to be sure that all of the mold is gone.
But some random guy on youtube said to just spray it and that is cheaper, so Imma do that, mkay? Also, why am I having trouble breathing now.
@@MAGAMAN It depends on what it is. IICRC S500 and S520 provide advice on what materials can be sprayed or cleaned. Porous items generally have to be removed. Non-porous and semi-porous materials can be saved if they're not soft and rotted out. You should seek a professional's advice on your specific situation.
Hey can I get fired if I failed clearance
@@fgfcshorttimes What is your clearance level and who will perform the clearance? Does it involve visual clearance or air sampling clearance or both?
@@audiophileman7047 safeguard is doing the testing but that’s the problem they don’t let me know where I failed or why they won’t tell me if it was air sample swab or tape lift or visual they just throw me in there it’s a new company and I think they don’t know what they are doing and I feel like they are setting me up to fail
I was hoping you would mention the specific product you were using for your anti-microbial treatment?
How would he get all your money from paying him for exclusive access to it?
Middle men bloodsuckers.
use RMR 86 (stain remover) and RMR 141 (microbial)
Sodium Hypochlorite
Or BLEACH ya goonba
@@Mr.SuperDuper-idk never bleach !! why the insult ?
@@KevinKenna-wv6qx ok explain then.
use vinegar, its cheap and easy, no gloves needed, no chemicals and it will kill molds and mildue the old fashion way, safe and easy.
If you check the 0:52 mark he actually talks about why he doesn't believe vinegar works for this.
@carrotman That because he works for the company that makes the expensive specialist spray
Go to Home Depot and ask for an antimicrobial
I did, they sold me vinegar.
😂 I don't know if you're serious but this reply is awesome! Lol @@sharksport01
Good to have a critical barrier to prevent mold spores from traveling to other parts of the house, but I'd sure as hell wouldn't have dishes and other object including a mold infested towel on the counter.
What I've learned is the best way to get rid of mold is to cut it out. Solutions will help with surface mold, but more than likely it has penetrated deep into the material and will need to be removed.
What if it's a aluminum built travel trailer? The walls seems not like the ordinary materials.
@@joeslacker1020 someone put up polywall under the sink which is waterproof and glues on the drywall so the mold probably didn't even go into the dry wall as long as they caulked the edges properly
@@joeslacker1020 If mold is present mold hold© will fix it and trap it but it does not get rid of airborne mold which has to be treated
Yeah mold is a virus and will spread quick
Lady yelling in the background. Working in customers homes when they a present is the best.
Working while the customer is still present in the area is: TIYTE!
Your grammar sucks
I already knew what demographic lived there, which is based on the constant fire alarm that kept beeping.
This is the first solution I've seen that didn't take a 15-minute video to explain!
I remediate mold for a living. There’s no way I’d let myself or any of my crew touch the mold without a respirator. Maybe an n-95 for inspection. But as soon as we know there’s mold it’s time to put on the gear. I’ve never seen mold just under a sink. And most of the time we tear it down to the studs. You want to be sure. Your missing a few other steps that mold experts use as precaution. Like basic steps. I do agree that if the problem that caused the mold isn’t taken care of the mold will come back. All homes have some degree of mold. I’m unfamiliar with your product. But the product we use you don’t want to breath at all. And that goes for the mold as well. Get a full face respirator. They don’t cost that much. Tape your wrists. And put the dishes away. Like every inch of that room that is exposed needs to be cleaned. Unless you were to tent off just the sink and squeeze your Air-scrubber in with you. But how are you gonna get out without contaminating something. It could probably be done but it’s gonna be a pain.
so true
Can you share more info? Need assistance with some mold under a sink. What would you suggest? Not all mold removal companies are legit… and i know it’s better to replace materials than try to clean it.
@@blueskies773 First thing you’ve gotta do is get the leak stopped. Most mold is caused because of a leak. Our latest remediation was caused because the drain in the wall was broken. Every time the dishwasher drained or the sink was running water was leaking into the wall. It could’ve been like that for years. We simply don’t know. There’s a lot of factors. Any materials that are porous get cut out. Insulation Sheetrock particle board etc. Usually we’re taking things down to the studs. If there’s mold on 1 side of the Sheetrock the chances of mold being on the back side is very high. You could clean it and it would come right back. Like the drain in the wall the problem hasn’t been dealt with. Few things to consider. If you start to disturb the mold is gonna spread if it hasn’t spread already. Before we even touch it we put up containment and create a negative air pressure. Full face respirator should be used as well as a full body n95 suit. Notice not to breath through. Breathing through an N95 is pointless when it comes to mold or certain diseases that can pass right through it. I’m not saying that guys don’t do it without safety precautions. There’s probably guys that jump down into sewers to clean them without PPE. But it’s stupid and they’re taking there lives in there hands. Honestly the best thing to do is call professionals. If they tell you with a straight face that bleach works don’t hire them. Also try to call a number directly. Ads on Google can charge the business a lot of money. Which is fine as long as you hire them. But for us we’ve lost jobs that cost us 300 just for the call. So regardless of what happens we tend to want are money back to at least break even. So if you call a number directly you much more likely to get a guy to come look at it for free to give you an idea of what it’s gonna cost. Bleach bleaches mold. It looks good but doesn’t kill the mold. A lot of mold killing chemicals include bleach but it’s not just bleach. I’m a little weary to give you chemical names. Because if these chemicals touch your skin they burn you. You breath them in they’ll mess you up. If you spray them without proper ventilation or negative pressure it could be a big problem. You spray them with an n95 mask your gonna get sick. The chemicals are sold directly to mold remediation companies and not to the general public for a reason. We’ve come out of crawl spaces and because we caught our suits on a nail ended up burning holes in our clothes. The last big one we did I had a few drops somehow make there way from my elbow length sealed gloves down to the end of my suite and under my suite down to the elbow where it pooled up. We’re talking drops and at the time there was no way I could get to my elbow because I was so bundled up. I could feel the burning but because we were up in an attic all day you wonder if it’s a cramp or your imagining it. Took the suite off afterwards and saw the burn. It was visible for a couple months. Take it from someone that knows what they’re doing. Even though we know and we take every precaution possible we can still get hurt. Thankfully because we do it every day we know what to look for and are always improving our process. Personally I would strongly recommend getting a professional to take a look. You can tell him straight up that it’s not very big and that a mold remediation company said bleach doesn’t work. Ask him what he would recommend. He may have a chemical to recommend. But again all the supplies to deal with it yourself it’s probably gonna be easier to have him do it. He may be able to seal off just the cabinet depending on the materials. We’ve considered doing that before and just sticking our upper body in to spray. Good luck on getting it dealt with but call a professional at the very least for advice.
Also if the leak is under the sink go below the sink and check. If you have a crawl space check below. Personally I’d wear a full face and suit but if your careful you should be fine. If there’s a basement check below the sink for a stain. If there’s a stain more than likely you’d have mold in the basement as well.
Hello, Can you help and let us know what is the product that you use? Thanks.
If you spray the mold first you increase the chances of making the mold spores plume into the air thus causing the mold to Aerosolize and making the moldy situation worse. Hepa vacuum first then possibly use anti microbial spray.
for crying out loud...listening ti you and the operator of this video...you'd think you were dealing with freakin MONKEY EBOLA...we have been living with MOLD since God created this place. Get the EFF over it. My word...
correct it has been, so has a-lot of things that are very harmful asbestos lead and several drugs are a few that come to mind quickly. Just because things are created doesn’t mean they are safe. I’m pretty sure the comment was to inform this guy if he’s gonna post a video that the video should be done right. T flap on the wrong side, no negative pressure, simply spraying an anti microbial and wiping in this specific situation is stealing money from people and giving them a false sense that something was done. The homeowner could of used dish soap and had the same out come as this bozo.
Hepa vacuum is all groovy if you have that capability. My alternative to that is to have the shop vac outside many feet away from the house, with a long enough vacuum house of course, have the exhaust pointing away from the house, strong bleach and water solution in the shop vac., and the door closed over the vacuum hose as much as possible. I don't ever expect to eliminate the mold spores, they are ambiguous, and further, I don't want to collect and concentrate them in a hepa filter. Unless you have an industrial size ( and industrial cost) hepa filter, any hepa filter I have seen would become clogged rapidly and become ineffective if you are attempting to overcome a major problem.
Just an alternative that is available to the d.i.y.- ers.
I'm so glad I found this channel! I just bought my first house, and the kitchen sink leaks a bit, and there is already some mold under there. I have a feeling I'll be watching a lot of your videos to help take care of my house!
Fix the leak!! It’s much cheaper than destroying your cabinets!
Congrats on your first house!
Did you fix it? I am in the same process with small mold. I think I can DIY.
I think it was my grandma told me to always keep a large mixing bowl or small bucket (like one ice cream comes in ) under the bend of the kitchen sink pipe incase a leak starts. I've always done that and it's saved me from lots of damage. If I ever come across a commercial size roasting pan I'm putting that under incase the garbage disposal ever drips again.
This is not the answer I was looking for.
You touched the mold w the glove and used the same glove to put on mask. Am i missing something ? 🤢
What products do you use/like/recommend as I need to treat the underside of my roof sheathing. I have both Concrobium as well
As the two RJR products, and was hoping to I could get advice as which to use first. Thanks so much.
Looks like the spray and pray method. Good luck passing an air quality test afterwards. The air quality is the main concern when dealing with mold. So much wrong here; containment is half-assed, air scrubber is setup incorrectly, no HEPA vacuuming, etc. About the price...a professional probably won't touch any mold job for under $2000. A job like that would likely start at $7K.
Make a video mr know it all
@@Crashoverride1234 don't need to. Proper mold remediation follows IICRC S520 and should be performed by someone certified to do such work.
@@DoYouWantTaBeFree So instead of commenting then make a video about it?

@@DoYouWantTaBeFree and commenting
I've had mold in my home for the past 16 years. I think the guy who bought it and some what "repaired" it just painted over it and sold me the house like this.😔
As well as the 1920s electrical through out the house, which je didn't update. He is one horrible human being but I guess it was my fault... I didn't know I needed to hire an inspector nor did I have the money to. I just was desperate to get a place for my kids and I. 🤷♀️
But this video definitely is informational.
Thanks for sharing this. I would hire a hygienist to come perform mold air testing. This will help with identifying type of mold, the elevations and proper protocol to knock it out.
I had the same situation....I was rushed into buying a home in 60 days bc my landlord was getting a divorce and wanted to live in my rental. So I didn't have time to get inspections. So far we had termite remediation that was $1200 and our cesspool/septic line was completely garbage...another 5k. We have some mold in the basement due to our plumbing issue but it makes me wonder what the hell is going to go wrong next!! The guy who sold me the house completely lied and took advantage of my situation. Hopefully karma will come for him lol. Good Luck with everything and just remember...at least ur a homeowner now and not throwing away money to a rental.
You’re not alone sister! I brought place where the former owner was sick and resided with his parents. They didn’t inform me of the reason nor did I ask. I just figured he got sick with something weird and left. I had the home inspection and all was fine. One day I looked up in the corner of my bathroom closet and mold was on the ceiling. Recently my hot water heater got a leak. Mold came QUICK! It’s on the bottom of my closet door. I’m a clean it before having someone come to install a new one. After this, I’m selling it! Fortunately I also stay in another place where I don’t have to stay there. With all the people on this page with mold problems, it must be apart of life. I felt like I was the only one!
@@asmrdestinationsleep7917 Don't feel as bad even with the inspection they could miss it becasue its surface level. I did mine but did not do the other more detailed inspection. things still come up
I'm glad ya'll will be getting inspectors when you sell your houses to be sure everything is absolutely perfect.
Definantly appreciate this breakdown on mold
Dead mold is just as bad as living mold. The key is to stop the moisture problem and physically remove the mold. Don't focus on killing the mold...
By the look of that kitchen, a complete gut job is needed. I guarantee the mold is into those cabinets and possibly the floor & wall.
You should ware eye goggles! When you spray it mold sends out spores.
What about the back side of the drywall and under the wood ?
Bollocks bleach works well ,it kills weed as well as grass and a lot of other things , so it will kill mould .It's just you can pick up bleach cheap from the supermarket as opposed to pay a silly amount for the "special spray" from a company
Question for you, what about the growth behind the wall in the cavity. Also was there a protocol written? So many questions.
As you can see the back wall sheetrock wasn't spongy or eaten up so that was probably the beginning of the forming of the mold right there. If it spread underneath behind the wall that piece has to be cut out the bottom would have to be cut out cleaned up and replaced
It should be removed. Drywall is porous so it's likely at least 2x as bad behind the drywall on the paperside.
This video is a terrible example of mold remediation. Spray and pray 😵💫
Wow!!! That's amazing. Thanks for posting this. From Oakland California
I wish you could clean my stuff. You seem like you really know what you're doing, I'm absolutely hopeless. Mold all around in my bedroom on the windows because I have an aquarium.
THROW IT OUT THAT,S THE SAFE WAY OF GETTING RID OF MOLD
no he wants you to buy his microbial shit
whats funny is, you still have to cutout that wall behind the sink, not just sprayed with antimicrobial, i work in mold and water mitigation, and i have never seen no one just spray a spot to move the mold, its already in that wall if its penetrated that bottom of the sink that well and is showing that much on the exterior of the wall, its like an ant bed , what you see on the surface is only 1/3 the size of the actual whole mold spore as a collective.
Perhaps you can assist me with my project? In the basement there is mold above the shower. It is from the upstairs tub leaking. I have removed the tub, the drywall in the basement, and the subfloor. However is a mold is in the floor joists (tgi) What product is best for wood. (For the record, this area has been treated like a hazmat Center, completely sealed. All demolition items were bagged before removed from the areas. I actually bought hazmat suits, I used a respirator, and sprayed myself down with straight Clorox before exiting to the safe zone. Here I removed the tie back and the respirator to exit to the home.) I can't find a good recommended product, only advertisements
What are the products you can buy to get rid of mold at Home Depot or Lowe’s or on Amazon
Concrobium
Apple sauce
20 Mule Team Borax
Thanks for the info friend...im about to do a friends house today and your video shed some useful knowledge..wish me luck lol thanks again
AWESOME! Good luck my friend!
I lived this nightmare that mold needs cut out and they need to throw all their fabric stuff out ..and that's just the start of healing after you have been poisoned by mold..
I absolutely agree. People that hasn't been through being sick by mold has no idea what they would do to NEVER come in contact with it again.
@@rrtraining2543 So i think I might have a mold problem. My hair is falling out bunch of neurological issues as well that may be because of it. Any ideas on what to do in an aluminum airstream travel trailer? I ifeel like it could be in my AC, the door seems like it's not all the way sealed either.

Mold is no joke. I've dealt with many people who 'co-existed' with a 'musty odor' coming from their basement/crawlspace - even 10 - 20 years in the past when they lived in a different house in a different state and then Boom! Their health starts getting compromised in a big way and they become MCS/Chemically Sensitive. Then they need to so a serious detox to become healthy again. 😑
Is the family gone while you’re doing that? What measures are taken so they can come back in the house?
Well I found out I have mold under my kitchen sink and floor. The flooring is like warping. So I guess it's that bad but don't have money to call a professional.
Recommend replacing the bottom of the kitchen cabinet,if it's that bad replace the area of the cabinet.
With the floor cut it up so far back,spray the area before adding any of your flooring/ cabinet/or the plywood.
With the funds,God will continue to make a way in your life and home 🙏🏾.
That's the problem most people are having. They can't afford a company to come in. I can't. So I'm masking up. Pulling out any affected surfaces and spraying it down with a hydrogen peroxide mix/solution . I don't care if it looks amazing under the kitchen sink. I just want it spotlessly clean, dry, cleansed of the mould and then it will get 2 coats of KILZ and 2coats of white semi-gloss. Also a dehumidifier is key. The plumbing parts when I moved in were clearly the cause. Can only do my best👍
@@lalani888blue I like your comment. I think people should just go to the EPA website and learn about how straight forward getting rid of mold is. It is horrible that mold has been turned into a get rich quick scheme.

RmR 86 doesn’t kill the mold so much it removes the stains . You can use RMR 86 and get rid of your ugly mold stains . May look clean, but it doesn’t kill it . Bleach will absolutely kill mold , so will white vinegar , just doesn’t remove the stains like RMR 86. So that’s why you use RMR 141 after using 86.
Please put a battery in that smoke alarm and use RMR-86(mold stain remover) RMR 141(microbial)!
The air scrubber is not connected to the window. It is not going to act as a negative air machine. The back of the drywall will be as bad as the front and this was not touched. The composite materials of the cabinets also pose a significant issue. Not something I as a professional could clear!
Yes, negative air discharging to the outside air is SUPERIMPORTANT! In respect to mold on the drywall, you can definitely treat the mold if it’s on the surface. Just because there is mold on one side doesn’t ALWAYS mean there is mold growth on the back side.
Some customers are not in a financial position to tear everything out, so we offer fixing the moisture source and dry down immediately with an aggressive treatment to minimize the issue.
Thanks for tuning in and offering your feedback.
the best most effective way to remove mold is something called reset . it water soluable gas that uses oxidation it even kills anthax .
Where do you buy the anti microbial liquid
Good detail and best of all is they give you a ball park price of what it could cost
Vent out your air scrubber for one you might have to cut a hole in dry wall to see if it's compromised
You forgot the eye wear

I'm not the homeowner but we have multiple areas of mold. I told my landlord and she came and scrubbed my high bathroom walls with vinegar and said it wasn't a big deal. Our bathroom window is painted shut there is no ventilation system. Home is 100+ years old. Mold in living room under toilet and near decorative leaded glass window. This wall was annihilated during hurricane Sandy. The entire wall and ceiling needed rebuilt. That wall is soggy again and the mold stains are back right here in my living room. Huge patches in the basement and definitely not great under sink situation. We're not in the position to up and move unfortunately, so how do I get my landlord to not only foot the bill but get this done once and for all? I've used killz products before on my own in rentals, but we've been here 13 years now, this is our home but the mold scares me and I don't know where to start, any ideas would be appreciated, thank you

But that's only taking care of surface growth though, still need to remove everything the mold is on and replace with new.
You missed the eye protective glasses
the air machine puts spores out the window. How does it do that? Is Kitchen sink black mold dangerous?
Improper PPE buddy 😮
A mix of clorox with tea tree oil it's fantastic and faster solution for remove the mod of the kitchens,bathroom,and walls.I use to add a little amount of perfume.
What do I do if I can't afford removal and have no where to go? I'm worried.
A: Dont worry too much unless you know you are allergic.
B: if you have black mold and you were allergic you would know it.
Can you just tear out the items that have the mold?
Wear a mask and gloves if its a solid non porous surface you can clean it. If it is a soft porous surface you should probably tear it out.
And as the video says either take care of the problem or make sure it stays dry. With a bucket or daily drying if possible.

Nothing worse than Male cat piss.
Mold is weird there are some mold job that are out of control and it can get quite costly . Best way to get rid of mold is to cut it out and replace it but sometimes you just spray it. it all depends on the sources of the mold leak broken pipes bathroom fan vented in attic et mold testing only tells you the type of mold it doesn't tell you were it is or how to treat it there are some mold jobs that a home owner can do but the large ones leave for a certified company . Remember if you try to do it yourself wear the proper equipment gloves mask eye wear .
Cut the drywall out buddy please tell me you did at least 12 inches up if not more cause that looks like an 18 inch at very least on the other side
Be aware there is only one way to get rid of mold and that is to completely cut out anything that is near the mold and replace it. I know this from experience I almost died from the fungus!
Agree depending on the leak source. If water migration seeps through the backside, then yes, everything in its path need to be removed, drydown and treatment in place.
I read Grapefruit seed oil is a good antimicrobial
Do you know anything about that?
Mold kills ! I have it in ceilings and air vents but only found it other day, my 41 year old hubby is at end stage copd because mold has caused such
Bad breathing, take it seriously please and if you even wonder a bit if you can smell it check everywhere. I’m gutted it may be too late
For my partner, so upset.
So sorry to hear that. Thanks for posting and hope you get this mold issue resolved.
I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I was very sick from chronic mold exposure. We we brought contaminated items into the new place we moved and so I stayed sick! Lookup survivingtoxicmold if you need more info. I am recovering.
Asbestos, smoking, bacterial growth, infections are all things that cause severe lung issues.. never heard of a death from exposure to mold unless they are allergic to it.. and are around a hell of alot of it for long periods of time.. at that point if they dont work around it than the cause of illness should have been determined which would be obvious if that much mold is present in any kind of clean living environment., why hasent it effected yourself as well? Why didnt things get fixed before health issues got so far into critical stages? Did you mistype and mean covid and not copd? Take care of him and yourself either way and dont dwell on the past.. godbless and good luck to good health and a good life..
@@Z-Ack toxic mold is NOT something most doctors learn about, straight away that’s a problem. Every time I mentioned the possibility of it I was laughed out the doctors surgery. Only now that I’m developing too many red blood cells , polythycemia ( a form of blood cancer ) and breathing issues is it starting to get noticed. My partner has COPD and mold is often a big part of the picture expecially as smokers are exposed to it in cigarettes , cannabis and the home environment in our case was hiding it. My partner went to 7 years worth of appointments in hospital and it was not picked up apon. When it comes to why we never tried harder to find out what was happening you clearly have not been affected by mold mycotoxins , they cause many health symptoms that will have you more bed bound by the day. I thought I had a clean living environment , sadly the toxic mold was in the air vents , they are in my ceiling and o had no way to know it was there or clean them as they go up into the ceilings out of the way. The hospital failed my partner , even nodules on the lungs were just watched not properly checked , mycobacterium TB was only found by a different hospital many years later so it had done damage, it was also only treated for 3 months instead of 2 years , the hospital won’t fund more treatment now that they have decided it’s a waste of money for a dying man. Sick or what, on top of that my partner caught a hospital superbug which may well have killed his 44 year old brother and now adds to the dire situation we’re all in , it cannot be treated they did try and it remains in the lungs in deep parts .I’ve read about biofilms we have symptoms of them too but In the end 7 years of breathing in mold from filthy infested air vents is what has done most of the damage. I’ve only found out recently my partner is dying , so I’m still getting my head round it as he’s only in very early 40s. It’s quite a shock to be told palliative care is only option at that age. My partner was a gardener , he was very good at it too , he also cared many years for elderly family members pretty much full time only 7 years ago he had strength to throw a lawnmower around , now he’s bed bound unable to breathe. Mold is not something anyone should under estimate , repeated exposure is simply deadly to some people.
Thanks for wishing us well , I wish you and your family a good life too.

just 2 days ago l found black soot all over a picture in the bathroom... when l wiped it , it was greenish and black. I saw that it came directly from the ceiling vent which had a trace of black shadow on the ceiling. My ducts are hidden in the ceiling too. I have to get those ducts scrubbed from the inside. I thank you for your comment and may you both have the best years together.
The only way to remove mold is to completely remove all the drywall and wood it is in. I have lived with black mold which was sanitized then drywall was put on top of it, drywall breathes the mold spores come through it. I get extremely ill around black mold spores. To address it properly all the mold containing materials must be removed sanitizing does not work. You cannot just remove black mold in three minutes that is impossible. The number one key is prevention so it doesn't grow in the first place. Black mold is lethal, I get so, so ill from it. That I now live in a brand new apartment and I use a dehumidifier to prevent moisture from developing and I wipe my windows regularly of any excess condensation so there is zero black mold. I think everyone is sensitive to black mold and it is in most people's homes and apartments but they don't realize the spores which release the mycotoxins are making them tired ect...
Did you mean to write everyone is sensitive or everyone is not sensitive? I could see a scenario where everyone lives with mold as it is all around us. If you take yourself away from it it could be easily imaginable that a person would feel differently. Here is what is on the EPA's webpage " Scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, and dry completely."
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals clean and fix leak use dehumidifiers for a couple of weeks.. maybe some Vinegar, or Baking soda, Hydrogen Peroxide, Mold Killer Primer, Concrobium, RMR run a few air purifiers, Merv 13 air filters and pull out and burn any mold damaged cabinets and drywall, keep humidity down to under 40 percent for six months. I read essential oils kills the mold spores if you use certain oils.
@@Funky4me21 tHanks for the tips. I have an Ozone machine....not sure whether that helps. I consider myself lucky as I work outside as well as inside. I have mold everywhere I go. So far I'm not sensitive to it as others are.
There is so much unusual information on the subject. Years ago, someone wrote that for lethal mold to grow it would need moisture, darkness and temperatures found in places like the fourth level of an underground garage.
The author of the article was casting aside most molds as everyday occurrences. But since then I've never gone into an underground parking garage without being reminded. Happy New Year!
Can this be used on floor joist?
Why do you not reply to requests for the specific product you use? There are a LOT of people who are not located in your area of the west and we would like so help. Thank you.
$60 For one gallon? What happened to the $10-$40 depending on the interest shown? Yipes! Looks like black mold and I are going to stay roomies until i kick the bucket! Damn....
def a good idea to remove dishes and pot holders and other fabrics while doing this or dispose of it. everything in that kitchen needs to be discarded or sanitized.
Do you guys often get calls for mold removal for R.V.'s and fixing those types of leaks/problems? Im just curious because I know the differences between a home and R.V. are vast but I also know that R.V.'s almost always end up having those types of issues
Great question! we don’t get much RV mold remediation calls. The substrates are definitely different and treating wouid be more complicated.
@@TwinHomeExperts Do you know or do you think that the type of water being used makes a difference in how much mold there is? Like city water vs well water or whether or not it does or doesn't hit a water softener? Here in Vegas for some reason even though its the desert there is actually an INSANE amount of mold here.
@@coleytoonsgood question. Did you find out?
Vinegar according to many is a natural antimicrobial. I prefer natural products.
at 45 sec his left hand tapped on the contaminated area, and at 1 minute 19 sec, he used the left hand to pull up the n95 mask.
I saw that too🤣
At 1:20
Does Listerine work? Its antimicrobial….
Peroxide works good....
If you have a very large area
Call the Pros☝🏼☝🏼
I worked in that field mold will get you very sick 🤢
So answer me this, everybody says to barricade the area to avoid spores transferring to another area within the household and will start growing again.. i only see a health issue with any kind of airborne mold spores. 1) mold needs moisture to grow, even if a mold spore landed anywhere in the house if theres no moisture than it cant grow. 2) all wood contains some amount of mold growth inside the wood unless its been treated, therefore everything just about has some spore activity within its porous structure, if its porous.. so no matter what in almost any environment if you get something wet and leave it in a dark and undisturbed place, it will inevitably grow mold whether it be black, brown or bacterial.. when referred to as spores think of mushrooms. They release spores to reproduce, so does mold. But unless conditions are perfect than the mold or mushrooms cant grow and die out. Now i dunno how long it takes a spore to stop having thr ability to reproduce but im assuming its a very long time seeing on how it lies dormant inside porous surfaces, indefinitely for all i know... so why do so many people say put up a barrier to stop the mold spores for any other reason than health concerns? In a hospital environment i understand as infection risk could rise with presence of spores on surgical equipment as well as immuno effects.. buy still health oriented.
Great information here! When there is present active mold growth, then this environment typically has already contaminated other areas by spores releasing into the air. This is why most people get sick.
When it comes to determining building a critical barrier, this has to happen when you are removing all compromised materials ( drywall,, wood etc) this protects from cross contamination.
When you are not removing and the moisture source is fixed then we can remove the mold and even do a whole house treatment without the need of building a containment.
Do have any recommendations for companies out in the Fresno area to get rid of mold
Mold loves to grow on drywall
Cost is always something I'm curious about. So interesting, always something to learn!
remideation for that small mold spot seems uber overkill. but to each thier own I guess.
Can molds travel from one apartment to another if behind the walls?
yes
i have mold inside the water pipe. is tere a way to clean that?
I’m really appreciate your video on How to remove mold very informative.
I have black mold in my ceiling & my landlord will not fix it.
Check your landlord tenants laws..you may have to open an account and put your rent in it untill mold is remediated

you put your left glove on the mold, then you touched your mask from the inside with same glove then you started touching the faucet ...
If its on the drywall its probley in your wall and all the drywall needs to be removed
what gloves do you recommend for maximum protection
Scratch that...
what PPE do you recommend for maximum protection

That Chirping from the smoke detector OMG, you should have helped them change the battery. I don't know how people live with that chirping sound, like they just tune it out and ignore it. That would bother me in the first 5 minutes. The scum on the front of those cabinet faces, they look like they haven't been cleaned in a long time. I don't know how some people live like that.
What anti microbial are you using?
Right, what anti-microbial? and a pic of the water alarm brand would be nice too.
Uninstall remnants of vinyl flooring Under The sink to prevent that
What about brick)stone? I have a tone of it in my basement. My Landlord does everything herself. This is a new place. There is mold in the basement, the seal for the tub is rotted off and is almost all black, the windows because there is a crack from one side to another. So I bought some mold remover and it didn't work. What should I do.
