Love this channel 👍

[@LongIslandMoldGuy]

always saw a dehumidifier as a way of preventing mold

[@aldoogie824]

Asking the real questions here

[@natesuhl4322]

Just bought the Aprilaire E080 for the crawl space from Crawl Space Ninja diy store. Also got the model 76 for remote control, and a vent fan. I’ll be doing a mold remediation myself with fogger and Anabec advanced cleaning solution plus from your store. Then I’ll be doing a French drain myself with 2 sumps and then doing an encapsulation. Hope the French drain works right and the encapsulation lasts! And Mary Beth C was very helpful and knowledgeable! Wish you guys were in illinois

[@CrawlSpaceNinja]

Thank you for your support! The work will be worth it. Check out this playlist of videos we've done with some of our DIY customers - maybe you can share your process with us when you're done! kzbin.info/aero/PLxsYiAum9ovw0bUGe9sV-t9wZmPsCBFr5

[@Brandon-no3vc]

So you said that it's bad to have two or more vents in your crawlspace but wouldn't that be the same as attic ventilation? Everyone has the soffit and box or ridge vents and that's pretty much the same thing as some houses that have crawlspace vents

[@Rondeaunotrondo]

Brian, what’s going on with the QC at your company? I received a unit with a malfunctioning fan clearly evident when you turn on the unit for 2 seconds??? This shouldn’t be the case for a $1200 dehumidifier. Very frustrating that I have to take apart the unit and change it.

[@CrawlSpaceNinja]

Hi Will, this damage most likely occurred in shipping. Please call Aprilaire's support line 1-800-334-6011 and they will be able to help you get it taken care of.

How do you handle mold on a few pair of leather shoes & on leather purses that were kept in a closet that rarely anyone goes into? This closet is on the main floor of an empty bedroom of a ranch home...... Are all the clothes in this same closet moldy? I don't see anything obvious on the clothes (but I realize microscopic mold could be on the clothes). Should everything go into the garbage? I'm not sure how to handle this situation. There appears to be no mold in the empty bedroom anywhere else. Thank you.

[@CrawlSpaceNinja]

As long as there is no physical damage you can probably wash them and then just make sure they dry all the way and you begin controlling moisture in that area so it doesn't happen again.

I live in a apartment and I just found out I’m allergic to 3 types of mold. I have asthma and I have had breathing problems for 2 years. Just found out that the mold is causing my breathing problems. What can I do? Dr is suggesting allergy shots. I have done everything I can do in my apartment and there is a smell I can’t get rid of. What should I do?

[@CrawlSpaceNinja]

If moving is not an option for you right now and your landlord is not willing to address the problem, you may be interested in learning about one of our air purifiers. Contact our DIY Specialist to learn more: diy.crawlspaceninja.com/contact-us/

[@Interesting_Placebo]

So why not drop in a vapor barrier and install or treat with some sort of lighting that kills mold like UV-C light?

[@CrawlSpaceNinja]

We use vapor barrier but not UV due to efficiency, we apply other mold products.

[@askbob2009]

how about a heat lamp to evaporate the moisture...with a light. Really

[@CrawlSpaceNinja]

We do not have any experience with that method and therefore cannot recommend it as a viable option to control humidity.

[@sp1200M3D]

Always remember, mold is to never be killed. Only removed. #facts
