Thank you learned a lot
Thank you! Your support is appreciated!
Most functional medicine doctors are requiring the Ermi and at very minimum the Hertsmi2 which shows the 5 toxic molds. Hard to get around it when they are using that to equate whether you are in a "safe" environment for treatment of CIRS, MCAS, or Lyme.
Thank you for sharing.
Michael, I have both White and brown mold in my crawl space in upstate NY. I took your advice and bought a AA070 dehumidifier. it is drying the hell out of the crawl. the RH is hovering in the 46% range Its cost prohibitive for me to get outside help, so I need to DIY. can you recommend a product to kill/clean(without scraping} the mold? I'm older and its not as easy to crawl in that space anymore.
Thank you

have a 2x6 pressure treated crawl space wall. Want to insulate with rock wool. Shoud I add a vapor barrier or will that trap moisture where you don't want it? Or would it be better to put up rigid foam or will will that creat a reverse vapor barrier trapping on the wrong side? Tahnks
I don't think there is a perfect scenario for insulating wood walls in a crawl space but I do like the rockwool option with no vapor barrier best. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
QUESTION: Crawl space: If mold(s) are soda blasted off wood,; would the removed molds reestablish if left on the ground / on the vapor barrier or wherever the mold falls / lands? How are molds; that are removed from surfaces, completely removed from the crawl space?
Mold can grow anywhere there is moisture and food source. Sodium bicarbonate is alkaline and according to what I've read mold cannot grow in high ph environment but it still needs to stay dry. Mold grows in soil under plastic no matter what. Soil is filled with mold food and damp. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Can I install a drywall wall separating the crawl space from the laundry room? The crawl space is clean and dry and also have a HVAC vent in the space.
As long as drywall stays dry and humidity is under 60% we see that all the time.
@CrawlSpaceNinja perfect thank you!
@@user-sc6cr2fm8m You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. Yes!
Hate having a ferret running around my home. Dang ol critters
Me too. Mine bit my feet.
The ERMI does not lie. I have CIRS and traditional allergies. ERMI has always been dead on. Results are always proportional to the severity of my symptoms.
Air sampling is always suggested by professionals, and is a joke. It is meaningless on its own.
Thanks for sharing
Crawl space homes that are insulated. Have mold and fungus problems in the crawlspace vapor barrier down vents no mold no fungus no rodents eating it and living in it.
Thank you for sharing and watching.
