Yes. The first step to fix a mold problem anywhere is to completely STOP all water infiltration. In a basement, yes. Dig trench around foundation of house, broom clean dirt and mud off foundation walls, rinse rest of dirt off, let dry completely, then roll on foundation coating tar all the way around or install some plastic vapor barrier all the way around. Then backfill dirt and slope dirt down, away from house. Then once all the water infiltration has been stopped, then kill all the mold on the inside, prime and add anti-mold additive, and paint. The Drylock shouldn't even be needed if you stopped all the water from coming in. Your sump pumps will barely run when it rains after coating the foundation .
Good video...very useful tips from you and those in the comments! Definitely applaud you for RESPONDIND TO YOUR COMMENTS "AFTER" THE JOB IS DONE. So many people have channels but never follow up with the results down the road! 👍🏾
Thanks. Great video. I actually used kaboom brand mold and mildew with bleach. Let it soak in that stuff for 15 minutes then wiped away wit a sponge and hot water…changing it frequently.
Thanks for sharing this. I have the same issues with my basement "drum cave." I was going to use bleach but the fumes are terrible. Looks like you had good success with "Mold Control." The wire wheel idea is great, that will save time. Thanks again!
A bit of it is coming through, (not much) but just last month I had new drain spouts and gutters put up. Now I am destroying a deck in the back that is letting water seep through because groundhogs made nests underneath and aloud water to go beyond the footing. The whole back wall still looks perfect. Once the outside is fixed, this winter, then I will redo some spots and should be good to go.
Well, after tomorrow we are getting flooding, from 2:00 pm to 2:00 am the next day: Flash flood watch in effect. I will let you know in a couple more days- so far so good though.
There is no need to buy that expensive stuff any of these will kill mold, vinegar with regular salt or borax, hydrochloride even bleach can do the trick on non-porous surfaces.
Actually THIS is BS. if mold is under attack, it actively releases spores. Bleach will whiten the stains but triggers defense mode - which proliferates it.
Right?!?! I guess so- should have used an infrared or black light effect to see if it was throwing it all over the place.... but after these years, only that wall was effected with mold. Everything else still dry and no mold.
I'm going to try Zinsser mold killing primer and then their paint for my basement. First, I will clean the walls with borax and water, let dry and then use the primer and paint. Just make sure the walls are dry before using the Zinsser primer
I just bought that. I have a more serious problem. the people who lived in my house painted the basements walls (cinderblocks) and Im not sure what they used to paint it. But I had to repaint them because Im selling my home. Some paint was all grey at the bottom so I scraped it away and found black mold behind it. I bought a germicide to kill all of it, scraping away as much old paint as I could at first. Used a mask and goggles yo apply it too because it is strong. Then I bought that Zinsser mold preventive paint. Im doing that now and Im hoping it will work.
Thanks...5 months so far. It looks like a bit of efflorescence is appearing on the lower part of the floor where it meets the wall. Like I said in the video, the correct way to permanently fix this is back-hoe the perimeter of the foundation and address it their, but I will let you know after the next flood in 2 days. :-)
Well he cleaned it and painted it but that’s kinda wrong; he should have raped plastic brushed it painted it with a mold killing breathing paint; don’t block moisture in the blocks as they are porous and wick water from the ground and need to dry on the inner side

Nice work i am also a drummer and i start to have a bit of mold allready in the studio
How's it holding up after 4 years?
Thanks for sharing this. I have the same issues with my basement "drum cave." I was going to use bleach but the fumes are terrible. Looks like you had good success with "Mold Control." The wire wheel idea is great, that will save time. Thanks again!
Awesome job and nice music. I need to do this to my Mom's basement but I have asthma too. Glad you're wearing a mask. :)
So, has it held up? Did you get more mold? Has it seeped through the paint?
Great music. Nice presentation
That's gonna come back. It was only a cosmetic fix but is not attacking the roof of the problem.
Gotta get on the roof
What's your suggestion for attacking the source?
So how has it held up
Get some dehumidification down there mate.
Yes sir...I do. I should have mentioned that as well. Thank you.
Can we get a 5-year update?
Great video, Thank you 👍❤
I just stumbled across your video. Now, after two years, how is it holding up?

@@natanpierce495, thanks for the update.
Could you have used a roller to paint?
Yes.
How’s it look now?! Thank you in advance.

well isn't brick porous? or any stone/concrete? i mean if moisture can penetrate it over time then i would think it is.
@@fleamarketmixtape3793 Exactly. SO many people post BS about mold removal.

Did you apply drylok over old paint? I read online that it is not recommended to apply drylok over paint? How did your drylok paint hold up?
Yes and no. I applied Drylok over paint in some areas but scraped the loose paint and efference off down to cinderblock before painting.
Almost seems as though you are putting more mold in the air with the wire brush.
Right?!?! I guess so- should have used an infrared or black light effect to see if it was throwing it all over the place.... but after these years, only that wall was effected with mold. Everything else still dry and no mold.
What kind drum kit do you play ?
Custom Ludwig purple shadow Classic Maple with insulators, RIMS and DW hardware. :-)

what is the orange/yellow stains
Hard water and dirt seeping though slowly over years making stains.
Nice job. Not sure when you put this vid together, but has it been holding up? It’s raining buckets as I write this. :(

He said that if you had watched the whole video.

From "EW" to "Wow"!!!
