Hello I found this video very informative. I have been going back and forth with my husband, the insurance company, and a relative who wants to compete the remodeling of the bathroom but believes removing the affected area by rubbing bleach on the area is the answer. I believe an area that was affected by water damage for two years definitely needs a certified person. Bleach may be okay in a different situation, not with two years of consistent water damage,
That's not how mold is professionally abated. It's an how an idiot would do it. Asbestos and Mold need to be done by professionally done. Case and point no containment, let alone an air scrubber. Then there's the more obvious problem such as not proper PPE, let alone a microbial agent to spray it. But the most concerning is the way it was disposed spreading mold throughout the house bc hey why bother do correctly. Informative is a poor choice of words.
Wait - so you scrub it with the wire brush before applying the fungicide? Why not apply the fungicide first, then wire brush, then fungicide again? I feel like I'm just spreading mold around if I just scrub away.
You want to get as much mold off as possible first so that your not pushing all of that mold further into the wood. You could spray it first and then scrub but the disinfection spray has to go through that layer of mold so she get as much of it off as possible first and then spray to get the rest of it out of there, the spray doesn't have nearly as much mold to try to penetrate to get to the bottom layer of it
15% for pressure-treated lumber in contact with cement and 10% for lumber not pressure-treated Framing and joist. any more than that and we will have mold growth later
First off, no this isn't a family affair to do together. Case and point you didn't bother to bring up setting up a containment or even get an air scrubber in there. What was more concerning is how you had them walk through a house with mold infested sheetrock that's not properly disposing it.
