Yes, you surely contracted pneumonia that way. I was exposed to mould and had pneumonia soon after, it was scary.

How do I check for mold safely?

@@kw9568 look don't touch? lol

"in this economy" = still relevant 9 yes later.

Uh huh. This was my approach. Scrubbed down the area several times after which I deployed a dehumidifier. Remove the moisture and the mold will not return.

So containment with plastic and negative pressure with air scrubbers isn’t necessary really?

Do you have any suggestion on removing mold in caulking? My Mom's caulk is black in some parts. I have asthma so it needs to be gone but she refuses to do it and has procrastinated paying someone to do it. So I've taken it upon myself to do it. I'm planning on wearing the respirator and gloves. Should I also wear the suit when doing my Mom's caulk job?

@@ariannasilva4462 If it's part of the caulk I don't think it's getting into the air. Caulk replacement isn't difficult though so go for it.

Nivea complicated

They will not repair it correctly. Buy a mold killer, then spray mold block primer after it is thouroughly dry.

I agree with you. The gentleman did a nice job showing how he got the mold off that wall. I would think a lot of this is common sense once youve learned what chemicals to use and when to use them. I think I would tackle a job like this if it were contained in one area but when the whole house and possibly the attic and wall insulation, well Im not sure about my doing all that. I may be in this very situation with a home that I want to purchase. It appears that the home is infested with mold. I need to find someone to give me an estimate to see if I can afford to take on all this. It looks as though most of the drywall has got to go and the attic insulation as well. Then Ive got to figure replacing everything back. I really like the home and yard. I just hope I can afford to take this project on and come out on top! Thanks for the video!

The fact is that hes doing it without full protection hes is using a correct filter but he needs a full mask and to tape his joints unless hes is running through a decontamination unit before doffing which i seriously doubt, he is going to be taking in enough spores from just that to cause health issues to himself or whoever he spends time around. Mold should never be done diy if you havent been trained in it. Kinda like oxyfuel welding its really simple but if you dont understand the details it is really easy to hurt yourself or someone else. Edit just finished the video, he did not set up containment he did not bag the affected material. Thats sloppy, he spread all of those mold spores around and as soon as a really humid day occurs mold will take root all over that place. He literally did more harm than good in the long run. If this was Stachybotrys you could be causing anyone you see in the near future serious health effects mainly your family and anyone else that in the future will be occupying that room, you didnt remove mold you spread it.

@@rorye4963 Where is your video, big talk

Yeah anyone can just take stuff out: Huge mistake. Never remove mold before HEPA vacuuming the affected material. Doing what he did will cause a large amount of spores to go airborne and spread more easily around the area. No containment or negative air pressure . Please just contact your local remediation expert for help. 1 bad spread of spores can cause permanent damage to people with developing or compromised immune systems

I would grab a flamethrower

if he has a p90 cotton ones in the front i works too.

Who gives a fuck jerk off I wouldn't wear all that shit anyway

@@josephcarroll7107 Go on.

Mold is a naturally occurring thing. You breath it when you open your door to go outside. When you put mulch down guess whats in there? Point is you are always breathing it. Mold was never a problem until whining pussies started crying about it and wanted money from insurance companies. Now everyone is a mold expert willing to take your money. Love it people are dumb.

Leonard Hoffman That’s not true, mold can kill you. Mold causes liver failure and kidney failure. Mold is dangerous. I saw an episode of Hoarders, and this old woman had renal failure from the mold (so did her husband, he died from it). Her kidneys were only working at 10% due to all the mold in the house.

I live in Arizona.

you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all of the new series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend these days :)

@Ace Royal Definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

Wrong respirator cartridge, you took your mask off to talk, thus inhaling the spores. You have no air scrubbers running to remove the toxins as you work. The area is not quarantined, so the nearby spaces will be contaminated. It is irresponsible to show videos like this to people. That is very likely Stachybotrys on that wall, and it produces deadly mycotoxins. It's not just the spores that you need to be concerned with. Stachbotrys produces tricothocene mycotoxins, which are extremely toxic to humans and animals. Mycotoxin exposure can result in immediate reactions as well as latent illness. You many not have gotten sick immediately, but years down the road, cancer, liver damage, etc., are possible. Stachybotrys is not the only mold that produces mycotoxins. Common allergens such as Aspergillus and Penicillium, among others also produce mycotoxins such as gliotoxins, aflatoxins, sterigmatocystin, mycophenolic acid, chaetoglobosins, etc. Tricothocenes are so toxic they have been used as chemical warfare agents. Mold should be tested before remediation to determine it's type and whether or not it is in an active growth state. Remediation needs to be done by certified professionals, then the site is post tested to ensure the mold is gone. I am certified and field-trained and also certified as Mycotoxin Environmental Specialist. Don't play mold remediator or inspector. Seek out a Certified professional. Most states do NOT require training or certification in this field. Do you homework.

Kinesiology. Some people will laugh at that idea but it works. If they had toxic mokd, arsenic, and formaldehyde in their system like me, they would try anything. It works. Especially crazy is no "Dr." Found anything even with blood tests. Mold is no joke.

Use Mold remover.

Mold on basement walls

Michael Zolnerovich Thank you love his funeral this Saturday...

Luna Tune sue

The dust in a mouldy home is quite thick, it is different than the dust in a normal home. Maybe you should consider taking pictures of your poster ans throw them away. If posters got mouldy, check the relative humidity in your home, heat and ventilate the rooms well if there no sighs of mold. Check the roof and basement for water infiltration.

Yeah just wear proper protective gear and stay out of the workers' way.

Do you know what wet carpet smells like, thats a mold oder right there. You cant cover mold up it will always find its way into the air until its removed.

its ok it was not mold it was my new flooring plastic lino

Gloria Saenz Because of the cost

A dehumidifier does not get rid of mold spores, it prevents mold from growing, an air scrubber or air purifier can get rid of mold spores to an extent, it's the spores that generally make people sick. If you stir up mold, they release mold spores in the air as a defense mechanism. Most, if not all, dehumidifiers do not contain a HEPA filter to capture mold spores.
