Mold remediation with RMR-86 Pro mold remover

This homeowner called me out for a crawl space assessment. There was surface mold covering all the joists under the house. I gave him an honest opinion on buying the house and made a video for his reference. Since the mold was dry and dormant, I told him we would have good results with remediation, but I never thought the results would be this good!

Great video. I am glad you were able to fix their home for them. Have a great day.

[@GCFD]

Thanks Brent! Their indoor air quality is much better and I'm very happy about that.

Hey Shawn keep doing what you're doing, you seem like a decent guy I like your honesty, god bless you and your team.

Thank you, Thanks for watching! - Shawn

Just discovered your channel and love it. I’m in Transylvania county NC where we get 80 to 100” if rain annually so what I am learning is very valuable. Thanks for the videos!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! - Shawn

Shawn, love how you have expanded the type of work you do.

[@GCFD]

Thank you! We are doing another one of these today!

[@ncironhorse8367]

@@GCFD Awesome to hear. Wish we could get you up near Elkin to do some work for us.

@@ncironhorse8367 I’m going to do a ‘crawlspace safety’ themed video on this job so maybe you can get some ideas.

[@jamesshaw3850]

Extremely useful information. I now know that I am on the right track with your video shawn. 3/18/24. Thank you for posting

[@thomasmorrison3279]

If you don't control humidity in that crawlspace, the mold is just going to come back. Should seal the vents and encapsulate the crawlspace and install a dehumidifier.

[@GCFD]

This crawl was dry and this was old mold. If there was persistent moisture I would agree with you!

[@CygnusX-pt1ms]

My crawl space does have some dry dusty mold like in the beginning of video. Is that an issue for me?

[@thomast8553]

Good video, looks like there could be lots of mold spores. Probably should be hepa vacuumed or fogged with concrobium

[@GCFD]

Great idea!

[@TheRedeyerecords]

Really appreciate your video. Thanks

[@miketyler7616]

I hope you followed it up with RMR141 to kill the mold. RMR 86 removes the stains, but that's it. RMR141 is an EPA approved fungicide and mildewside and must be sprayed liberally on all surfaces that RMR 86 was used on.

[@charltonheston969]

The rmr86 is the stain remover, the rmr141 is the disinfectant

[@Cristian-hu9bx]

Why do I always see people use rmr86 first. Shouldn’t RMR141 be used first to kill the mold and then RMR86 to remove the stains ?

[@charltonheston969]

@user-tw2uo7kr6y yes the directions say 141 first then 86 , I always did 2-3 coats of each switching back & forth

[@beammeupscottsp7952]

@@Cristian-hu9bxyeah man I just asked this and no one knows! I thought the 141 is the mold killer, i figured you follow up with end 86?!

[@justinmize4316]

Have you ever looked at doing a dry ice blasting method on mold?

[@GCFD]

I've never heard of that...

[@robertparker5666]

Hi! I love your videos. You obviously have high standards. That's difficult to find. I wish you operated out of Northern Virginia. I tried concrobium in my crawl space and attic, but it didn't get rid of the smell or the stains. Everyone says to not use bleach-based products, but the RMR products seem to speak for themselves. I was wondering if when you applied it if the runoff corroded the plastic vapor barrier. I have a new vapor barrier and I don't want it to get ruined.

[@GCFD]

No the vapor barrier was fine. Make sure you have several air movers (fans) set up for ventilation. This is a rough job with the RMR. But it works extremely well.

[@mikecooper3061]

need a vapor barrier on the dirt floor.plastic sheeting and fine rock to hold plastic down.

[@kelvinlyons3401]

clean, paint and add more vents so air can get in

[@TheFiremonkeyman]

what was the application method? spray or brush?

[@GCFD]

Spray with a garden sprayer. Make sure wear a full respirator.

[@fgfcshorttimes]

Hey can I get fired for failing a clearance

[@GCFD]

👍

[@johnsn10]

It’s a stain remover NOT a mold remover

[@miketyler7616]

Exactly. I sprayed RMR 86 and once dry, coated it with RMR 141 and dried everything. That combo works awesome. People don't understand bleach won't penetrate the wood, but RMR141 will and kill the mold roots.

[@gsftom]

Funny how people fear mold, but are ok with someone spraying “a chemical” that kills mold…. Not picking at this guy at all. Just seems odd to me.

[@jojiran]

So true ! and the guy shows the stain remover as the mold remover . I give props for his analysis but the RMR product clearly says mold stain remover
