Assessment of Mold Growing on Wood in New Construction Home
Maybe you’re building your dream home, or maybe you’ve decided to buy a new construction home with a new neighborhood. Whatever path you’ve chosen, finding mold within the property during the construction phase is never fun to deal with.
In this video, we take a look at some mold developments and all the moisture that comes with it at a property I visited earlier today. After some thorough reporting and subsequent mold remediation work by a restoration contractor, these findings should be a mere thing of the past.

Determining If This Fresh Air Intake Is Abandoned
Просмотров 216Год назад
When it comes to bringing outside, fresh air into a property, it’s always best to look for existing ducting that is located in optimal areas. In this case, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a 4 inch abandoned duct located within this attic. And while this 4 inch duct may or may not be used for bringing in fresh air to the new ventilating dehumidifier, this duct will need to be capped off at th...

Mitsubishi or LG is my go to in ductless systems. Mini Split are like guns, if you've never heard of the brand, don't buy it!

    So what if you are aware of water damage is there guaranteed mold? My roof has leaked throughout a few widely spaced storms and in those 3 or 4 occasions I had water leaking into the house along a couple parts of the walls where there are exposed beams. Each time it dried the landlord came and recaulked and puttied the inside leak stains. After the most recent leak they tarped the roof and I haven’t seen any sign of water coming in since. However this time there was the most amount of water for a longer period of time and there is still a discolored stain where the biggest leak was. I bought a moisture meter to test these areas and most of the readings along these two walls were around 8-10% and in two small areas the highest was about 17%. Does this indicate a mold problem?

    Bro, lemme send you pictures of what I just discovered in the closet of my master bathroom 😱. MOLD!!! It looks like black mold, and I think the cause is an improperly installed and sealed shower. 🙄 (it was a flipped house when we bought it, thinking everything was done properly, or at least up to code. 🤬) Our house is concrete block, so I'm hoping that means the mold will be easier to remedy, as it hopefully has less wood and drywall to penetrate. (At least, that's my uneducated theory) God knows we can't afford to NOT do it ourselves, and with that said, it's not even something we can afford to do ourselves at the moment. 😢 Idk what to do, because we have to have the shower and tile completely gutted in order to correct the issue, and who tf has that kinda cash laying around? No, I'm seriously asking, anyone got $20k burning a hole in their pocket??? 😂 I'll totally help you out and take those bands off your hands. 😂

    Very well put together video. However, Just out of curiosity… are decontamination chambers a thing over in Florida? Along with wearing a suit? I ask because you went to the extent of building a nice containment on the door with make up air, utilizing an air scrubber. A very expensive mask, but then don’t use a suit nor build a decontamination chamber to change in and out of your suit to prevent cross contamination into other areas of the home.

    • @IAQJosh
      @IAQJosh 29 дней назад

      Excellent professional observations! To your question of decon chambers being a thing in Florida, they most certainly are. They are definitely more prevalent within the asbestos abatement sector, but companies like mine and others will utilize them to better manage the process. As to your comments about a suit and such, I specifically lined up a small scale project for a DIY video - as anything larger would be professional level scale. A suit is definitely a “best hygienic practice” move, so excellent job bringing that to light for viewers. Thanks for watching and for your comments!

      Sure, it’s making you struggle so you just have to breathe harder. But the particles you are avoiding are smaller than the fibers of that mask can filter. You obviously know this because otherwise you wouldn’t use proper respirators, 6 mil plastic and Hepa filters that are all chosen due to this exact phenomena.

    I am wondering why you created the air inlet with the filter for neg air vs running without?

    • @IAQJosh
      @IAQJosh 2 месяца назад

      Great question! I used a filter in this application for a couple of reasons: 1. I am able to maintain a negatively pressurized containment area, with reference to the bedroom, all while maintaining relatively neutral pressure within the bedroom itself. This is important because it ensures that I avoid pushing cooler, indoor air into the interstitial spaces. 2. I am able to bring in cooler air from the bedroom, ultimately promoting more favorable working conditions.

    • @IAQJosh
      @IAQJosh 2 месяца назад

      By utilizing filter, I can minimize potential cross-contamination, in the event that there is a power outage and the negatively pressurized air filtration devices turns off. If the containment area decides to pressurize, the filter will assist with excess particulate trying to make its way out of the work area.

      Thanks for watching! I know that mold can be frustrating - especially with a brand new home. Given that there is mold within the furnace, be sure that a qualified HVAC/Mechanical contractor evaluates your system. Without identifying the cause of the growth, remediation/cleaning is just treating the symptom. Best of luck with your situation!

I know I have a mold problem in my apartment but if construction is necessary I don’t want asbestos released into the air. My apartment was built in 1979

    • @IAQJosh
      @IAQJosh 2 месяца назад

      Excellent question! An IAQ assessment is nothing more than a label for services broader than just mold investigation. In your case, you can certainly request a mold assessment with an asbestos survey In general, there are fewer professionals that perform asbestos (also known as ACM) surveys - due to licensure requirements. Nonetheless, a custom tailored assessment is quite possible in many cases.
