Fantastic job! I’m a Restoration Company owner and you did great! The only difference to hiring a pro is the technician has a ton of training and may be able to find additional damage caused by mold. We would set HEPA air scrubbers in the room while the cleaning is underway. The PPE you purchased was perfect and RMR pro (higher strength) is actually what we used to use we recently switched to a pro only chemical.

man in my neck of woods (Connecticut, do NOT retire here). nothing costs less 5K. I'm learning a lot of DYI as a result. $2500 for the job would have made me grateful but I"m even more grateful for this video.

So glad I came across your video. Thank you for this!! Extremely helpful as I'm a visual person. Exactly what I was looking for.

My moms ceiling under roof is covered in black mold...they called it the "silent killer". Its been affecting their health so we are traveling there to clean it. Thank you so much for making this how to video! This is a miracle! God Bless you 🙏🏻

Just to be aware as I've seen a few references here: Bleach does not kill mold. It only bleaches. John Geiger's comment is the best method. Even if you remove the mold there are still "roots" in the wood you can not get out which is what the second chemical is for. An inhibitor so those roots don't come back to life. After remediation it's essential to not let humid air up where it can contact and condense against a cold surface. This means 6-8mil plastic on the ceiling sealed to the wall top plate before the sheet rock goes back up and then of course insulation to make sure that sheet rock is not the new cold condensing surface. This also means can of foam to fill in all the holes in the top plates made from running wires/pipes/etc. in the 4 walls in this room. Warm air holds much more moisture than cold air hence the reason the worst part of this nice gentleman's house is situated closest to the wood stove. Another commenter didn't think they're insulation was affected but it would be a mistake to keep it as it is seeded with spores ready to give back as soon as the environmental conditions are met for new mold growth. It really is mostly about air sealing and then drying or venting the humidity in your home, once you've remediated, otherwise it's a matter of time before it comes back. Good Video.

This is great information. I fixed a moisture problem in my mom's crawlspace and need to get down there and treat the rafters. Her enclosed back porch had mold also because someone blocked the air vent, what a mistake that was.

Great video. Clear, concise, and easy to understand. I’m ready to tackle the job!! Thank You.

Thank you SO much for taking the time to make this video and share this information. God Bless you and your family.

Didn't believe it until I tried it. Works exactly like in the video.

Thank you very much for your demonstration. I just purchased the PMR 86 and RMR 141 from Amazon.

Thanks for the video. You've inspired me to take of the problem myself instead of emptying my bank account.

Thank you so much for this video, I'm going to use this in my garage this weekend. 👍👍💚

This was SOOO helpful. Shout out to this guy. I did this and a lot of it came off in my basement. Aditionally, I used a paint roller as some of the areas the rmr 86 didn't stay using the sprayer and a brush bit for a drill to do more hardcore scrubbing.

Great job with that! I like your video. It’s very informative, descriptive, and to the point. Thank you!

Thank you so much for posting this! I’m going to give this a go as soon as it arrives, I too couldn’t find it in the stores.

Wow. That turned out great. Good job!

This was a very informative video. Remediation of mold is extremely expensive and understandably so. I appreciate a well made video and the links to all the products. Thanks again.

I’ve got black mold under my house in the crawl space. Just placed an order for both of these. Thanks for your video!

This is one of the best video's I have seen. Thank you so much.

I don't know how to say thank you but THANK YOU!! This video was short, precise & professional giving valuable information, hope, courage & encouragement.

Huge difference! Nice. Thanks.👍

Great work, man.

Bought a house a year ago and it didn’t have an attic access. I was suspicious about insulation so I finally opened up the ceiling and found black mold in the entire attic and in the insulation. Thanks to this video I will try it myself. I used the RMR products in my basement and they are amazing.

I also thought RMR-141 first...kill the mold, then come back and bleach out the stain with the RMR-86. We (apparently) have a leaking skylight in our upstairs bathroom, and therefore some black mold has appeared on the ceiling. We know it's got to be much worse inside, under the drywall. It will be thousands of dollars, so, being a good DIYer, I came here to KZfaq. So thankful for this video, and will do this (once the skylight is re-sealed), and rent an air-scrubber hepa filter, open windows, plastic sheeting to block from other rooms, etc. Then re-drywall.

Thank you for this! If really does work this easy!

I have used RMR 86 in the past and it is amazing.. works very well.

Your video is saving me a lot of money. Thank you for posting this video

An update on if it grew back months later would be good.

Only thing as a DIY I would recommend to do differently, would be to use a hepa filter in a shop vac at the beginning and vac the entire surface first. You capture a majority of the spores and are then only having to treat what has grown into the wood. And after treatment, vac and wipe the rest of your walls and exposed material in the house with the inhibitor. Spores got airborne the minute you pulled the ceiling, and again when you kicked on the fans or opened a door. Great work for a diy though! Good vid

Job well done and tips. Dealing with my moms closet that spread all the way around. I am prepping to do hers cutinng away botttom 24.5 inches and replacing sheetrock and insulation as well. thanks again.

God bless you man! I got some up in our attic and gotta get rid of it.

Thank you so much!!! I have been looking for this video. My house has the same exact issue as you describe on the first picture. Can you please also make another video on ventilation in attic. That’d be great!

Brilliant job looks like new😊

You have been extremely helpful! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the video, exactly what I needed! You rock!

Thank you for this excellent video. I learned a great deal. Carry On Sir!

Thank you so Much You did an excellent job I have work to do in my crawlspace 🤗👍

Thank You So Much For This Information. I Really Needed This. Rick

I love your DIY attitude I hope you got the ventilation issue resolved too. For others with mold issues, this could have been done even cheaper using common household ingredients such as vinegar, salt, borax, hydrogen chloride, or bleach. all of these will kill any type of mold. After killing and cleaning the mold spraying a water and borax solution on the substrate will prevent the mold from reappearing. After killing the mold you should use a leaf blower to dislodge the dead mold making it airborne and at the same time use a rental HEPA air scrubber to capture it, obviously, this would take several passes with the blower as well as several hours of run time on the HEPA air scrubber.

Thanks for the great video. Very encouraging !!!!

It's important to make sure the RMR products are fully dry between treatments. There is a mechanical action that crushes the mold spores when the fluid dries out.

Awesome job!

Wow and thanks for all the details. Im gonna try this

Fantastic! Thanks for the Video!

I'm ready to try this tomorrow. So nervous. After countless videos and having the products I am going to attempt this

Wow! you did a great job.

RmR is awesome!

Great video. Thank you for the info

Nice work Sir. I'm going to do the same thing and of course take care of the source of the problem.

Thanks bro… I did how you showed here. Very good job! 👊🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for this video!

Some good info. Thank you!

My crawl space is gonna be going through this procedure soon. I'll DIY.

Cover and filtering is key when eradicating this Evil mold.... I use to paint in the Mobile home industry... I done interior exterior and staining....The dust from the over spray of the laquer paint utilized on the Cabinet and interior doors was entering through my pores... I sprayed around 150gallon of just the laquer a week not counting other products....It messed me up...Be safe... Ventilation is key as well 😎

What a great video. Thanks you...

Great GUIDE...I mean your experience explained 😜. 👍👍

Thank you it was very informative.

Absolutely fascinating and great work! I have to tackle my basement. 😔😊😔

Thanks for sharing ideas

Great video. Very helpful 👌

Thanks for the tip!

I was impressed with the solution that he used plus the sealer to prevent more mold from growing ,however there is a reason why mold gets in there in the first place , for instance a bathroom fan that is not vented properly, poor ventilation, soffit on the exterior of the home does have vent panels in it., gable roof should have vent openings on 2 sides of the home opposite of one another. ( north and south or east to west ) Roof vent can be added ( 120 volt to come on when heat enters the attic to vent out hot air ) If you have a ridge vent you don't need an attic fan. Look for water coming in from a bad flashing job around the chimney where it meets under the shingles ( missing or cracked caulking on chimney brick ) . Dry ice will also kill this mold but can be costly and no fumes. ( look it up ) A mask and googles , white suit and latex gloves are a must. After applying this stuff wash your clothes off good in hot water and put in dryer. Just some things I listed can cause this mold. It will came back on the wood that was treated until you find out what is causing the mold in the first place. For those that are afraid of using chemicals "cleaning vinegar " can also kill mold with no harmful fumes. In closing you should keep your attic as cool as you can with ventilation , heat along with dampness ( humidity ) will cause mold in attics and will return even after this process is done. It will just go after untreated wood that you didn't spray and seal .

Really impressive.

Great video

Hey mate, thanks for making the video! Those ceilings look awesome. Would you consider just leaving them open and making them a feature of the room?

thanks very good

Liked and subscribed 🙌🏽 this video is perfect only thing that would make it better is if there was an update video now that's been a year later.. maybe just trough an access panel that's all.

I'm Sure Glad To Have Watched Your Video. Although I Can't See The Black Mold I Tested For It.I Will Try The Chemicals You Recommended. I've Got Black Mold As A Result Of A Roof Leak That's Been Repaired Professionally. I Will Do My Best --- Thanks Gerry Goldrick "Florida"

Wow! That worked.

thanks great video nd also ur description do u have a follow up?

Thank you

Nice product, i feel like its worth mentiojing that you can set up a fogger with many products which limits your exposure a lot. Set up, start, leave, return 4 hours later.. in a process myself at present . Great video .

Thank you so much. I have renters who destroyed my grandparents house that I just inherited.

Thank you so much for this video, you are a saver!

gr8 vid bud thx!!!

Thank you, I have issues like this and it would cost a lot to fix You have given the confidence to do it my self. Awesome video

THE problem we have is inside the wall, i wish it was in the open like this..looks really good

Hi I had some mold (very little) in the plywood on the floor of a shed, that got sunk in to the ground. The moist/water came in from the bottom. I have removed the shed to a safe spot that is not in contact with any dirt or water any more, and it has been for 2 weeks. I just applied 1st coat of RMR-86. Should I wait it to be dried before I appy RMR 141?

Recommend running a couple of HEPA filter fans in room continuously after you’re done since you disturbed the mold and spores spread all over the living room as well as adjacent spaces. You should also continue to inspect the area on a routine basis as a precaution. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I think I can do the attic myself. If I had to scrub every inch I would hire someone. That RmR 86 is the same solution a pro was gonna use. $2600 seems to be the avg. Cost for a pro in CT.

Thanks so much man. Great video. Not a sales pitch click bait.

Please answer me. Did the mold comeback? Can we use something like this inside ducts?, what about using mold bomb inside duct work and getting duct cleaned to get rid of mold? Please it helps a lot as i want to use it as precaution

Thank you!! Thank you!!!

good video thanks

I would think about adding a soffit vent on the roof in areas where it was bad. It is recommended 1 vent for every 150 sq ft roof.

I didn't here a spot in the video that says how long each product should sit on the surface. Do u apply and let it sit for a few hrs to 24 hrs or is it ok to spray with the mold killer then right after the stain remover? Then set up fans in the room to dry it out for how many days, until u can drywall over it??? Great video ty ty!

incredible

We’re getting ready to do our own remediation and this is very helpful. What was your total cost In material and equipment ?

Can you update if your attic still looks good? We have bold in our basement and I’d like to know if this came back

Is RMR-86 corrosive to steel? Will it corrode the steel connectors, joist hangers and nails?

How long did the bleach smell last on the wood after the treatment? I'm sensitive to smells and am concerned it's going to smell like bleach for a LONG time. Thx. Dawne

havent thought about using a fogger instead?

Great job! hope it does not come back

Hm, interesting. After pulling the ceiling down for a remodel, I think I've got some on my basement I've got to take care of.

Thank you for sharing! I thought rmr 141 should be first?

Hello. I heard rmr is corrosive to metal. How do you handle the nails for the framing?

After spraying....how long to air out. Than just leave it or vacuum/wash with anything else next. Is this the final step🤔 Thanks 💛💛this video

Hi - thanks so much for this video. I have a much smaller space in the ceiling of my basement, but this has been so helpful to watch. The mask you have linked is out of stock. Is there another one you could recommend? The choices are a bit overwhelming. If you link it in the description box, I'll order via that so you get the credit. Again, thanks so much!!!

Also what if it is mixed with oil for long term coat/prevention.

Would it be a good idea to paint a stain or varnish on the timber.
