Mold Removal: Clean Up or Tear Out?

[Cvkills_]

As a home inspector and someone that is certified in mold please don’t listen to this guy hire a professional and make sure the areas are tested you don’t just remove it there is a process

I was told by my local housing authority that bleach doesn't kill mold, it only bleaches it. Phosphates kill mold. Those blue crystals in powdered laundry detergent.

Vinegar is a good all natural alternative

I've got a question, my neighbor has mold spores under his toupee, and has Greek Issues. Should I abatement him back to Sicily. Thanking you in advance.

Mold requires moisture and organic material (food source) to grow. If these are not addressed, mold will return. Som molds produce toxins, some are pathogenic, some are allergenic. So the type of mold you have is definitely important. Bleach does kill mold, but there are many much more effective products which are safer to use. The primary problem with bleach is the chlorine evaporates rapidly leaving water—which, as I mentioned previously, is needed for mold to grow. A mold cleaning product available locally for most people is Concrobium. A product used in large scale mold remediation such as flood clean-up is Shockwave (expensive, and typically not available locally).

What about cabinets? If the mold is growing on the laminates where the cut is and on the backing ? Do you consider its too big of risk ?

I have a severe allergic condition called Mast Cell Activation. We went under contract and found out the house has mold due to a leak that has been active in the basement for months. Would you back out or mitigate given the circumstances?

This guy has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. The first 10 seconds of this video I could already tell that he was not a professional. Bleach absolutely. Does not kill mold. It’s unbelievable the amount of miss information. That’s online these days. If you have a mold problem, you need to call a licensed mold assessor immediately. The area that needs to be properly contained and cleaned by a licensed mold remediator. Mold can’t hurt you? I know two people personally that have died from exposure to black mold. This guy has absolutely no idea whatsoever what he is talking about do not listen to this guy.
