mold removal. And perhaps it may on the surface. However from what I understand and have been schooled in is that this product only works well on the surface and only after the bulk of the fungi has been removed by other methods. i.e. sanding, vacuuming etc.

The only proper method of removal of mold is to ideally remove and throw the material away, Or sand it down to clean wood then spray with chemicals, then encapsulate with a registered anti-microbial paint designed to prevent future mold re-occurrence.

Peroxide is being used by some mold companies, but with mixed results. I had looked into using this chemical with my company. However I have found that If the material has been deeply effected this is simply not the method of choice. Therefor we only use EPA registered chemicals and products and we follow protocol as much as we can to be sure were not causing any harm to those that remain in the home. Ideally we request all owners to vacate until we know that the mold has been removed and its safe to return. We do use Ozone to help remove the odors and kill the living mold spores. Our bio-blaster unit creates very high levels of Ozone within the home so plants, animals and people must vacate when its in operations.

As far as using a handy may, fine if they follow an outline on how to do the clean up, but It is not wise to simply say a handy person can do this without knowing all the facts about what is present, the amount of what has been effected and with all the law suites the contractor would be crazy to take on this type of repair without proper insurance or at least experience in doing this type of work.

suiting up and down in a special little cubicle they put together in my kitchen. A wall of cupboards (including drawers) had to be removed to reach the mold, and when everything was completed and tested out safe, they "rebuilt" the cupboards. From start to finish cost me around $5,000, but I feel confident that the issue was resolved in the best way possible. If anyone in the San Diego area needs this kind of work done, send me an email and I'll happily recommend this company.

my child in the house or blocking off the house. In any event, had it not been for the old flooring with asbestos underneath it, it could have been done by my family.

As a former engineer in the pharmaceutical industry I would take concrobium's claims with a grain of salt....as salts are its primary ingredients.

In the mold mitigation industry they use stuff a bit stronger than salt water

in the past and they treated me very fairly. They can also do extensive testing which will allow you to pinpoint all of the troublesome areas without having to tear everything out first. Good Luck

our deductible. Well, the biggie was...the guy was looking up at the ceiling along the hallway and said..drum roll....your trusses have failed, you need to call the insurance company! We were floored! Ins inspector came in," no problem", it was from the 96 snowfall , they totally put on a new roof, and gussets on the existing trusses. About 26, 000 dollars for all they did. We had only paid 38000 for this home! We were astounded at the quickness and total assist of State Farm. But I can appreciate presently now maybe they are not so helpful. Anyway, this is a great post!KMS Woodworks BeckySue, Certified Master K&B Designer Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com "The McCampbell Team" Real Living Houston Home Sales I really appreciate the info!
