DIY Toxic Black Mold CLEAN UP Pictures
--
BLACK MOLD REMEDIATION / BLACK MOLD CLEAN UP

It may be necessary to remove electrical and
plumbing to sand down an area properly. Do what it
takes to do the job RIGHT! No Short-cuts.

Spraying biocide doesn't require 6 hands :), but
make sure that you spray in, around and behind
everything, including up into the wall cavity.

Some problems may be easier to attack from the
exterior. This is a corner bath requiring the
contractor to replace the rotten corner posts.

A 2nd story tub mold infestation required the floor
to be replaced and reinforced. New wood in the
walls and several new studs was needed.

Once the black mold has been cleaned from the
structure, it's time to address the Indoor Air Quality.
Dehumidifiers control moisture.

If you have a high relative humidity in a room or
area (55% or higher), then you should strongly
consider a dehumidifier.

Negative air machines are turned on and vented
to atmosphere during tear out and mold remediation
to control dust and air-born mold.

Once the job is ready for final clearance, the
negative air machines run continuously to scrub
the air with 2 or 3 stage Hepa / Allergen filters.
