Great explaination. Thank you for the knowledge and tips.

That dehumidifier you started out with is a $2000.00 piece of WATER DAMAGE restoration equipment... used to PREVENT mold.... NOT for mold remediation! You use AIR SCRUBBERS during mold removal. IF you use a dehumidifier in a mold contaminated area, you have to have it fully serviced and cleaned, and the filters replaced before you can use it somewhere else.

You guys are awesome! Thank you!

How do you not know if it's spread throughout the other walls though?

Do they test for all types of mold and spores in the air? Like what about lions mane mushroom I grow? They are not mold but I don’t want to be blamed for mold bc these spores might show up 🤔

When you have structural moisture issues? The first thing is to diagnose where or how the water (MOLD food source) and something to grow on! You can clean, using treatment before and after removal of wood, sheet rock anything else affected by the water damage and drying process. Once completely dry then sealing.

Once the treatment is done what are the chances for mould to come back if it doea

@williammiller6110 Question, is a Vevor hepa scrubber good? Is it better to DIY HEPA scrubber by using (3) 4 inch MERV13 or higher filters with a regular fan for an area as big as the one in the video like 2x2x2 mold drywall inside kitchen that's no bigger than 10x10 x8 sealed area and access to a window?

What is the name of the enzyme chemical? What is the name of the chemical for mold ?

OH... and mold professionals will use any fungicide available... doesn't matter... its all marketing.. even in the industry. Mold is very fragile, and just about any disinfectant will do it. What makes a difference is how well it is removed and what is done to prevent it from re-occurring.

Only use the dehumidifier after all of the mold is killed

Us enzyme product is called MoldStainKlear™ Crawl & Attic Mold “Stain” Remover. This is questionable to me. I don’t want to just remove mold stains- I want to kill mold to the root. Which product on their site are you specifically referring to.

Where do I get the enzyme pump? House is infested need help.

there a product called reset . its a gas that oxidizes everything then the gas goes away after a couple hours . they use it on anthax because it oxidizes

Your fantastic

Nice video but you did forget to mention air scrubber, scrubbing or sanding down the framing, and your guy wasn't wearing gloves. If there was mold there, the chances of that mold absorbing into skin is high. Also, the chemical you used did you use a mold stain removal?

Now you have contaminated your very expensive dehumidifier. Never dry until mold remediation is completed. I see no HEPA air scrubbers, no negative pressure in containment. There is no chemical, spray or fog is going to help. Physically remove the mold by HEPA vacuuming, then scrub with soap and water. BTW...great PPE...EXCEPT for the no gloves taped to suit and on protective goggles! Scrub, scrape or HEPA sand the mold. Complete physical mold removal is key. NO SPRAY OR CHEMICAL will ever take care of mold...especially if the source of moisture is not repaired! Don't risk your health. Consult a professional. BTW. You can't kill mold (spores...they are seeds)

$300 day job would be if someone just stops by and looks at it. Each piece of equipment cost at least $500 dollars. Labor, transportation, cleaning and actual inspection is what cost. That’s why companies can’t make money because cheap owners expect work to be free. If you can’t afford a house apartments might be the thing for you

suits and masks but no gloves - totally laughable
