'How to remove mold from an attic' "Well first bring out your $4000 dry ice reclamation machine with $2500 negative pressure system..." So helpful lol 😆
They cut out some of the most important parts of the original video. This is from season 10. They talk about how the gable vents are a detriment to a ridge vent system. They also talk about how venting a bath fan into a soffit is the worst thing u can do for your house. Better off not having a fan at all
I remember being in 8th grade when my friend and I went into his grandmas attic that literally hadn't been touched in twenty years. You could hardly tell what anything was because of all the mold. As soon as I got a whif of that smell I went back to get a mask, but my friend didn't care and he ended up getting extremely sick since we spent about 2 hours exploring up there.
I work for Master Tech, we have a 12 step process that we do to get rid of mold. For one, instead of using dry ice (which I never heard of using) we hepa vacuum the wood and brush off any remaining mold spores, spray the wood with Serum which is basically hydrogen peroxide to the tenth power. It burns your skin if it comes into contact with your skin and will literally bleach your skin, it burns your eyes, and it burns to inhale it. However we wear our PPE so we don't have to worry about that. After we spray it with Serum, we hepa vacuum the wood again, and then we encapsulate the wood.
mold only needs to be wiped with an antimicrobial and dried + source of moisture removed. encapsulate (paint) with primer once its dry and fixed and that's all that needs to be done. agents like IAQ advanced peroxide cleaner or Rm-86 bleach cleaner can be used instead of dry ice/ sand blasting / wire brushing but absolutely dont mix them because it turns into mustard gas. gl
Attics get a lot hotter than 115 assuming the insulation is on the attic floor. The mold happens in the winter, as is mentioned in the video. If you are down south, I guess maybe it doesn't get cold enough to be a problem.
hi, I just saw this video and it's a good thing because I gave that mold in Mt attic, but it's anyway I can do it myself (my husband) or I need a specialist for it and how to seal it so it won't come back.
My attic does not have obvious signs of mold and it's relatively dry and all that. But the is covered in some kind of green stuff. Very fine and dry. As if the wood is covered in a thin layer of copper oxide... You fine people have any idea what this could be?
Could is possibly be some form of spray foam insulation? I assume you are not the original home owner. I would think foam insulation would be more obvious.Unless it is some sort of wood treatment? Did you try google images to see if you can find something like it?
The only 500 sq. ft. attic would be a shed. Get real. At those prices, it makes more sense to remove the entire underlayment on the roof and replace it.
Well if you have insurance probably not alot at all lmao pay your 1000 dollar deductible and the insurance will take care of the rest assuming there's not any coverage concerns.
@@Tinyteacher1111 not true....bleach will kill mold spores and allergens on esentially every non porous surface. For wood and drywall you should use shockwave antimicrobial or RMR. RMR is pretty terrible when spraying though its like walking into an onion chopping factory.
Do dehumifers and air purfier both kill mold spores and mold I have mold in my bedroom and I use dehumifers and I have plug in air purfier also do they both work and are they worth using
They do not.They are using an air scrubber machine once the mold is free’ed from the surface. You need to probably cut some walls and apply an antimicrobial solution on the problem areas.Call a professional ASAP.Being cheap now will cost you a lot in hospital bills later.
likely that house is highly contaminated with mold spores probably uninhabitable for those that are mold sensitive after this type of treatment. The best thing is to re-roof and take away the moldy roof deck board and start over with new materials.
Serious risk of asphyxiation with this technique in confined spaces - that's a LOT of solid to be turning into dense gas. Small filtered extraction fan may not be enough. Personal oxygen monitor should always be worn if you are doing this work.
@@daddybear7062 yea well fyi the "professionals" are very often just as clueless about such things. The person in this very video has no alternate outside air source, has no oxygen monitor on and is sitting on the floor....WHERE THE COLD DENSE GAS is clearly rapidly accumulating.
So dangerous mold is yet its ok for homeowner can do it with really no restrictions either. But if you call someone you will pay thousands not worth $$$$ get a few zep bottles and spray and scrub use brush for grouts and a sponge or rag to wipe. It would be good to layout plastic tarp too for easy clean up.
Bert Cochran I guess there might be some range of pressure that will do. But not your default 8 bar workshop compressor. It shouldn't be too high to prevent cutting the wood, and not too low to achieve nothing. But adding something solid like dry ice will help a bunch.
Using dry ice looks expensive. And I wouldn`t count on it not coming back. I have grown mushrooms before and the spores are microscopic. Just because you get rid of what you see means nothing. I also worked in the asbestos abatement services and I can tell you that one of those negative air filters cost $50,000 in the late 80`s. Granted it`s nothing more than a fan with some HEPA filters but that`s what they cost when I was using them. That reflects how much the services will cost you. Abatement services are for rich people or a government money wasting grant. You could tear your roof off and replace it cheaper.
That is what insurance is for. Everything you mentioned is a fraction of the price now. You can buy an industrial, professional quality air scrubber (pretty much giant fan with HEPA filter) for around ~$2,500. Or you can rent something similar for maybe a couple hundred bucks. As far abatement of mold, a strong (high concentrate) peroxide will kill most.
Or get good homeowners insurance and pay your 1000 dollar deductible....they'll send in a cat team to stabilize probably drop a dehu and set up containment then get appovals from the insurance to remove affected materials ie drywall and insulation then shockwave the piss out of the materials and wipe studs. Really not expensive at all. I know what I'm doing tho so if my house had grey/black water or microbial growth I'm not calling a cat team I'm documenting and demoing affected materials right away I dont care if they drop the claim.
@@HoomerbirdG2 Same here. I currently work for a water and fire restoration company. If I had something like that going on in my house, then I'd get a couple estimates for the insurance company, then do everything myself and take whatever check insurance wants to cut. Hell, probably borrow some work equipment. One of the benefits of working in the trades.
@@aaronmfarland Back in the late 80`s during the asbestos scare when the government first began to regulate things no insurance company was going to cover any of that. Those were all new rules and regulations. Wanta know the funny part? We replaced all old asbestos products with new fire retardent materials that clearly said they were cancer causing agents as well. I know because I used to sit on fork lift loads of the stuff and read the labels while I was having lunch while removing the old stuff. As far as finding a giant fan with HEPA filters I guess you could`nt give them away today but 40 years ago they were indeed $50,000 each. The whole thing was a scam just like changing Air Conditioning coolants from R12 to R134 in the name of the ozone. The rules are regulated by which ever company lobbys congress with the most money to change the rules so they can use their products. That`s how it works. Period! Lobby congress, line their pockets, create a scare and change the rules then use YOUR products. That`s how it works. Anybody that don`t understand that are willingly blind to how government regulations work.
How doe this clean the mold that is between the top truss plate and the roof decking. The best thing to do when you have mold on your roof decking is to replace the roof and decking and clean the truss when the roof is off.
It’s just a fancy name these mold removal scam companies use for their big expensive equipment that is nothing more then a fan with a hepa filter in it
Luba Luba I totally agreed with your comment. I’m a certified mold remediation and been on Restoration business for over 20 years. I don’t like the ice blaster method. I will use white vinegar or peroxide Water and done deal.
Did you put ice shield over the ENTIRE roof before sheeting it? Sheet metal holds 0% moisture and condesates because of difference in temps, creating droplets under the sheets, that drip down into the wood and into your roof
I just bought a house with new metal roof, same problem. I’m hoping that it was like that before the metal roof. So hopefully we can fo up there clean it and done. Did you figure out the problem?
Wouldn't it be safer and more practical to simply dry out the attic for a few days, then spraying an anti-mold paint primer and then painting the sheathing with waterproof coat and making sure the vents are clear? This looks awfully unsafe and cumbersome.
That's a great way to spread mold. The HEPA filter is getting only a small part of the mold. Nasty process! A chemical process is required to KILL the mold, not spread it.
Didn't protect the vents at the base of the roof so you've blown mold into the walls, mold still inside the wood, all you've done is improve the appearance
@@123456bmxthe can’t do miracles. The last thing you should do is blow mold everywhere. Either completely get it airtight and neg air plus vac or wet all plastic. You still won’t get everything but most. Will need to spray for a while and fix cause
Just shows you the whole 'mold' craze is like everything else in a America- one craze to another. Most reactions to mold is allergic, most people dont even show symptoms and do not know they have mold til they smell or see it. Proof of this is a nice compost pile, every loves mulch, it has been measured and that emits millions of molds spores into the air and everyone loves it! They spread it around, use bare hands and no mask and smile....
@@HoomerbirdG2 Go to a Third World country in the tropics sometime. Mold is everywhere. Allergies, not so much. Is it unsightly? Sure. Is the smell unpleasant? Definitely. But the phobia is just that - a phobia.
Loved the explanation, and it seems pretty easy, but don’t you think attic cleaning could be dangerous for a zero-experienced person? I would go to a company named Pure Eco Inc. every time for attic cleaning services in Simi Valley! Anybody looking for services in California can contact them!

Get up there with a mask, scrup all surfaces with a stiff brush and detergent and wipe clean with water to remove residues. Wipe everything down with a bleach solution to kill everything. vacuum/mop debris and coat with an anti mold coating. Have a dehumidifier running before during and after process. This over complicated extraction process with dry ice is a money grab. 😂
Unfortunately this method does nothing for the rest of the house. Mold is not just where you can see it, mold is an airborn molecule and if you have mold in the attic you have mold spores in the HVAC ducts, the walls, the drains, the carpet, the furniture etc., especially in a house this old. The only way to be sure the mold problem is solved is to have a Pure Maintenance licensee come and use their patented dry vapor non-toxic whole house process to be sure the mold problem is really solved. Unfortunately traditional remediators can only address what they can see which is effectively "spot cleaning" a much bigger problem. I love This Old House, but they really need to invite a Pure Maintenance licensee on their show to solve the mold problem once and for all.
One could buy 50lbs of soda or some organic abrasive media (corn cob, walnut, etc.), a media blaster and a decent air compressor (all of those from from Harbor Freight: 1 time use, cheap tools fine), rent a HEPA air scrubber and a HEPA vac (or just leave a shop vac outside and run a long hose) and do this themselves in a few hours for a under $500 IF you have to buy all the above. If you already own a good air compressor then just a few hundred bucks. OR you could pay someone like this to do it for $5000-10000. This isn't rocket science.
what do you do if the attic roof is so low that only an anorexic person could fit through to crawl on top of the studs???? literally a 2.5 ft triangle to crawl through !
John Smith you cut your triangle out and make a bigger hole but first you build the new brace. Then cut out the old. Then climb on in. My issue is red wasp all in my attic. They crawl in eve's of the house then nest up in my attic. I need a sting proof bee suit lol.

What about insulation foam sprayed over the mold...
I've only ever done MMR chemical spraying to remove the spores. Hmmm I do wonder what the most efficient timely and costly manors are. 😊
Looks like spreading mold around with added moisture from cold ice and vaporate into water and a perfect breeding ground for more mold.
Delboy they’re using dry ice. It goes from a solid to a gas. It’s also far colder than water ice. It’s instantaneously killing the spores.
why I can not see the full video, writes not available
I had attic mold and had it cleaned. Do I need to do anything to prevent in future?
Ensure proper ventilation. You can not grow mold without water.

John Smith you cut your triangle out and make a bigger hole but first you build the new brace. Then cut out the old. Then climb on in. My issue is red wasp all in my attic. They crawl in eve's of the house then nest up in my attic. I need a sting proof bee suit lol.
Thats why we have children...
You "accidentally" burn down the roof and claim insurance. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It must not be dangerous, because they have no mask
They are not using a proper mask .!!
I agree and suited up too. They also need to create a negative press in the attic
and why is the home owner up in the attic during treatment?
So there is mould in the attic and none of them are waring a mask..... ......... ....... ok.
Also dry ice is a very dangerous gas and these guys should be wearing protective gear not just t-shirts and sandals
Mold spores ALL.OVER YOUR HOUSE NOW
Fix the underlying mold problem you just added chemicals and mold will be back
Did you even watch the video?
Looks like an Arab lurking in the attic
