As a painting contractor I wouldn't recommend priming using Zinzer 123 for water stains. Its a water based product and doesn't block stains all that well. I like to use Zinzer coverstain or oil based killz. It blocks stains a lot better and if you need to sand it it sands really nice.
We had some walls in our fire station that got damp and grew mold due to some leaks in the exterior block wall. Because fire stations are public buildings and as firefighters we are already exposed to a ton of toxic materials from the nature of our job, a significant amount of research was done on how best to mitigate the problem. One thing that was found out early on was that bleach wasn't good enough because it doesn't penetrate well enough to kill the roots of the mold. They had to use something else to kill it. Then they had to measure how dry things were and then it had to be sealed. Some of the worst spots were removed. If you Google to see if bleach works on sheetrock, several articles explain that it is not, specifically because it doesn't work good on porous surfaces... I appreciate your videos, thanks for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge with us...
I have actually found that white vinegar does an excellent job of killing mold roots and all, and all of the places I have treated have never shown back thru the paint. Just my 2 cents.
Love your videos, you've continued to help me grow in this business over the years and you've been a great resource. I do wish you'd wear a mask though when you were up close with those mold spores. I have a friend who inhaled a few too many mold spores and he's had issues ever since. A stroke, some heart complications, and now he's in a nursing home. Just want you to be careful and take care of yourself man. Thanks again for the awesome videos.
Thanks for the video. That Fiberfuse tape is great. Used it for tons of repair jobs. I've never had any luck in matching ceiling paint, always have to redo the whole shebang...
Just created my llc…. In California lol you have great tips and I’m very excited to expand my knowledge. Always looking for new tips and better tricks to get a job done thanks!
I remember those lights from a video from years ago. I bought some after seeing you use them. I never leave home without them. Those bulbs are insane but nice and bright.
Your videos are so informative and helpful to do it yourself handyman or to be a knowledgeable homeowner thanks for your expertise and advice! Awesome work!
This amazing content literally was scrolling desperately trying to find something to watch and you have inspired me and almost feel like your mentoring me into becoming a handyman thank you🙏🏻
I have done the same thing you did and no mold growth has ever come back. Bleach kills surface mold but does not kill the mold spores. As you know, the type of mold you were working on is on the paper only and stops growing once the moister is gone. When the mold is lumpy, furry, and seems to be morphing into an animal, then I remove the drywall, spray everything with Concrobium then rebuild.
Will the 1-2-3 really block water staining? It is still a water based primer, I would think you want an oil based primer (strangely, the 1-2-3 in a spray can is oil based, but not the gallons and quarts) to really block any water staining.
I was wondering if you could make a video on how someone would mange there business while still working part time? My situation doesn’t apply to most but I work on a boat as an engineer for 2 weeks at a time. I live on there for those 2 weeks and have the other 2 weeks off. Do you have any advice on how to keep customers with a schedule like that or similar to that until I can make the full time handyman transition?
Will there be a video showing how to take apart the furnace and clean it? When I pull out the filter on mine and look at the blower fan I don't see the motor like I could see yours. I did a bunch of woodworking in my basement and now I am in the process of cleaning the duct work. I want to make sure the furnace is clean too.
Hello, thanks for all the great content, the best handyman Chanel in the world. I wanted to ask you a question, do you charge a down payment before you commence any work? If so what is that percentage look like?? My second question is do you charge labor and materials or do you just charge for your labor? Thank you
I never thought about using the scotch-brite blue sponges for wet sanding. How long do you wait before hitting the 20m hot mud with wet sanding- just as soon as it’s hard “enough” to the touch?
Handyman, do you buy a new mud tray and knifes every time you have to do drywall work? Also a good tip is when you need to spray some bleach on mold add some dawn dish soap just enough to give the water a light blue tint. This will hold the bleach on the mold longer and it will completely kill it.
@@TheHandyman1 gotcha. They always look so clean and new. I have had mine for many years and they have a patina on them now is why I asked about yours. Also wanted to thankyou. When I found your channel a long time ago, I was doing what you do for other people. After watching a lot of your videos on this channel and your other buisness channel you inspired me to start my own buisness. It has been 11 months now and I am very glad I did.
For a gas furnace the basics are improving efficiency and making sure carbon monoxide doesn’t leak out. Efficiency- - Replace your furnace filter and verify that the slot for the filter is not allowing air to get around it. - clean floor vents - look at all circuit boards and look for arcing black marks. If you see any your electricity from your power company has to many high voltage spikes. Contact an hvac contractor if you found any marks. - adjust burner and test efficiency (this should be done by a professional) - look at the tubes the flame goes through and check for carbon buildup. Clean with wire brush and a vacuum. Carbon Monoxide- - verify the flue pipe is drafting correctly. You don’t want any gasses getting out of the flue pipe. A smoke generator can help verify this. - open the area where the burner is. The burner has a heat exchanger right above it. Make sure that is not cracked. If cracked Co can get into the house. - verify any other covers are not cracked. - inspection flue pipe for corrosion and holes.
Why? Go take a look at real research on 'toxic mold' - there's zero hard, scientific evidence it causes any issue with humans. That's assuming it's even the very rare S. chartarum mold, which most of the time it's just some random, harmless stain. Even if it was harmful, mold is like asbestos; only when it's disturbed and the spores get airborne is there any possibility of issue.
@@TheOrgCaptainHowdy Black mould is toxic to humans. That's a fact. Pretending it isn't just makes you fucking dumb. Are Californians 'snowflakes' for acknowledging moulds dangers?
Is there a way to get unedited versions of your videos? I’d like to know what you’re saying when fast forwarding. Keep up the great work and miss the beard.
16:50 I know you said Kilz was not your choice, but Kilz worked REALLY well for me on some very old water stains. I don’t think I had any mold like that but the water stains were very pronounced.
Next time someone tells me I think buying and renting a house is easy money I’ll just send them the clip from the beginning of this video!! The amount of disgusting things I see in rental homes use to amaze me more than anything. Maybe I should be worried that it doesn’t anymore. 🤷♂️
In my brand new house we didn’t use the guest bathtub for the first year. When we did use it we found out the overflow was not connected. So the water just dumped onto the office ceiling. This ended up being a blessing because I got to fix 1 problem I knew about and one I didn’t. The main drain for the tub didn’t have a trap. So that got fixed. The other problem was the bathtub in the other bathroom. So I just cut the repair hole bigger to access that. A jacuzzi tub is shipped on a piece of plywood. That plywood should be screwed to the floor. Ours wasn’t done properly and the plywood was warped and lifted off the floor 1/2 inch in the middle. So when you filled the tub that got pressed down and you ended up with a 1/2 inch gap between the tub and the first row of tile. So I drilled 16 holes in the floor from underneath. Then filled that 1/2 inch gap with spray foam. It actually worked. The tub no longer dropped when filled with water.
Ah the California comment! I know a few of those. They see mold they will break the bank to get rid of it then go outside every day where there is mold and pollen and any number of microscopic flora and fauna.
im in California haha and that is so true when i did apartment maintenance every bathroom call for mold i went with a bottle of spray bleach soaked it and stood there with the tenant watched it disappear and told them there you go keep up with your mildew
Bleach doesnt kill mold bud. Covering that mold with more setting mud doesnt stop it from spreading or growing. Should have cut out the drywall and replaced the affected area after treating the area underneath with concrobium based solution.

We love the way you work. No nonsense. Straight to the point. Job well done. 👏. I wish there was more younger generation coming up like us to hire. Unfortunately he's, she's and theys are too complicated to work with.
So when I buy shirts, sometimes 2X is too small, and sometimes 3X is too big. I'm like a 2.5X lol I want to order that shirt you're wearing but if it's too small, or too big, is there a return policy to exchange?
Scrape the drywall and paint except the drywall was all waterlogged and you could see black mold from this side…sure the other side is way worse and you just scraped, taped, mudded and wiped your hands of it…..to be fixed right all that drywall that had been wet and moldy needed to be ripped out and new drywall put in….
Definitely, but he would have charged a lot more for it and sometimes the owners want just the surface problems fixed. The mold will unlikely pose a problem on the backside unless there's continued moisture and a way for it to circulate like some unsealed ducts nearby.
Hey, was that area with the mold still dampish or had that been mitigated. Also, is this your house (rental that you own?)? Also, I noticed the mold was still there when you mudded over it. Can you get away with that..in California?
Oh, Handyman - that clogged furnace fan... 😦? Unbelievable. Was the motor giving off an electrical burn-out smell? It is amazing that a small fire didn't start. Love animals, having a great pet, but after this a "Limited Pets" clause is not an unreasonable request. Either this or a mandatory 6 month property inspection to catch problems before serious damage occurs. This may slow potential renter traffic a little bit but most reasonable renters should understand & appreciate why such clauses exist.
Should the duct cleaning not have included cleaning of the fan area as well? I'd be calling the company that did half-a$$ work cleaning the system and demand a refund of some of what you paid and/or any repair cost for motor repair.
Take the squirrel cage out and clean the blades !!, also clean and vacuum the blower motor as well !!, the duct cleaner should have cleaned the motor and squirrel cage as part of the service !, but, I guess that was too much like right !!
I dunno. When we had a water leak the insurance came and just ripped out all the sheetrock. Ceiling, walls, everything. I have repaired old water damage and water really damages sheetrock. Makes it really brittle and new mud doesn't stick near as well. The new mud oftentimes doesn't seem to hold well once it drys. I finally gave up on some and just pulled it out and put new sheetrock up.
Yes, this makes sense. On the other hand, you might have to wait a month or more for insurance inspection approval & the contractor work to be completed. Which means several thousand dollars in lost rental income. Then, see your homeowners insurance rate increase a few hundred dollars for filing a claim. Might be more financially sensible to fix it yourself, if you're up to it.
Well generally it depends on the amount of damage from the water sometimes you can drill holes and force air behind the drywall and on the surface of the drywall. But the problem becomes if it is an outside wall or ceiling that has insulation if said wall or ceiling has insulation it must be removed because it will never dry.
The roof was patched 2 years ago. I do need to check it and do a more complete repair. This is the first time I could get in here to do the ceiling repair because it was rented out.
bleach on mold isnt that much better than just wiping it off, all it does it bleach it not kill it. You should spray it with white vinegar, let it sit for a little bit then clean it off. If its outdoors mold go for bleach though much harder to address the cause outside.
bleach on mold works... on hard surfaces. It's just that bleach doesn't penetrate porous surfaces as well. Mold is very delicate and dies easily when the Ph changes... so any basic or acidic compounds will kill it.
It's amazing how my fellow Californians bought this "one look at mold and you gotta tear the house down" Get rid of the moisture, the mold becomes dormant. Like abestos and lead, you don't disturb it, it's not a problem. Of course reasoning with a emotionally triggered Californian, let them tear the house down.

Mold needs moisture to grow.

Qhy u say in california?
I dunno. When we had a water leak the insurance came and just ripped out all the sheetrock. Ceiling, walls, everything. I have repaired old water damage and water really damages sheetrock. Makes it really brittle and new mud doesn't stick near as well. The new mud oftentimes doesn't seem to hold well once it drys. I finally gave up on some and just pulled it out and put new sheetrock up.
I agree I would cut out the entire section of water damaged sheet rock
Yes, this makes sense. On the other hand, you might have to wait a month or more for insurance inspection approval & the contractor work to be completed. Which means several thousand dollars in lost rental income. Then, see your homeowners insurance rate increase a few hundred dollars for filing a claim. Might be more financially sensible to fix it yourself, if you're up to it.
Well generally it depends on the amount of damage from the water sometimes you can drill holes and force air behind the drywall and on the surface of the drywall. But the problem becomes if it is an outside wall or ceiling that has insulation if said wall or ceiling has insulation it must be removed because it will never dry.

The roof was patched 2 years ago. I do need to check it and do a more complete repair. This is the first time I could get in here to do the ceiling repair because it was rented out.
bleach on mold isnt that much better than just wiping it off, all it does it bleach it not kill it. You should spray it with white vinegar, let it sit for a little bit then clean it off. If its outdoors mold go for bleach though much harder to address the cause outside.
bleach on mold works... on hard surfaces. It's just that bleach doesn't penetrate porous surfaces as well. Mold is very delicate and dies easily when the Ph changes... so any basic or acidic compounds will kill it.
Just in time.
I watched this in California and I died.
It's amazing how my fellow Californians bought this "one look at mold and you gotta tear the house down" Get rid of the moisture, the mold becomes dormant. Like abestos and lead, you don't disturb it, it's not a problem. Of course reasoning with a emotionally triggered Californian, let them tear the house down.
I always love the California references! Too many laws and warning labels on products.
It sounds like more of a reference of the pansies (leftists) of California

He shaved at the rental and plugged up the air ducts.
