Replace the moldy insulation! We had a very minor leak and the insulation became moldy AND SPREAD! You will save your family from illness from it if you replace them now! I am a retired nurse and Physician Assistant and would caution against leaving them in place as they are. Like the other response said, ask for a partial refund for them. Or not.

I wouldn’t use it either! You don’t want to contaminate the space with the spores! Replace and spray the panels and area with diluted bleach (1 to 10 water) just to be safe.

[@VidMediumNS]

Definitely replace them. Even drying them out or adding mold killer will never be enough. It will eventually get through and you will be fighting a losing battle. It's way cheaper to replaced the two boards rather than whatever it touches and if it gets you sick another reason to absolutely replace.

[@wizard4121]

I’d replace the moldy insulation. It’ll cause you worry forever if you don’t. It’ll drive you crazy and you’ll end up having to redo it but after everything is finished. That would be a nightmare! And you know you’re a perfectionist 😂

[@Suidloc]

Can just brush it off.

[@AdamofCA.]

immediately after winter and B4 spring (an annual task in central Calif.), i wash the mold off my high gloss painted bathroon walls with 1/2 cup bleach and 1 tablespoon of powder laundry detergeant (Tide) in 1 &1/2 gallons of warm water. Presto! Clean and good as new. Thus, yes, replace the insulation. Then, Bradey, scrub the infected mold clean, and let dry. You can reuse the clean insulation for the floor.

[@lauraquigley6403]

Absolutely replace the moldy insulation!!! You cannot kill mold. Fb has millions of people that are sick from mold in their homes. Mold is now a health crisis in the USA. Kristina Baehr on utube & her husband & her 4 children were very ill from mycotoxins that are produced from mold that cause a variety of issues including neurological. She had a beautiful newly built beautiful home worth millions. She is an attorney that now fights for families that have lost all their belongings & Health to mold & other environmental toxins. Great job on the house guy’s it is going to be beautiful. Hope Heather feels better she is such a beautiful person🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@angelikamessenger1237]

Chlorine kills mould spores but they are in the air constantly and will return. Most people use bleach which bleaches the colour from the mould but does not kill the spores. I live in Cornwall in the UK and mould is a constant problem due to the high atmospheric humidity. A domestic Mould and Mildew spray containing Chlorine will keep on top of the problem. Landlords tend to try and mask the problem with dehumidifiers and opening windows, yes, that is one part of controlling the problem but a spray or solution of Chlorine is another part of it. It is harmful to pets and people and must be used with utmost caution.

[@growinggenerationshomestea516]

​@@angelikamessenger1237 that makes micotoxins explode it does not kill mold. You can only kill mold on stainless steel and glass with hydrogen peroxide or vinager. Everything else that is in mold is ruined even if there isn't mold on it. Micotoxins are in the air. You will track them to your car....tell me how I know. Now a lifetime fight

25:15 Replace them. Use them as gap filler after cleaning/treating them with antifungal, if they're needed. Mold can grow on just about anything, even if only temporarily. Don't risk introducing spores into your ceiling space. Don't forget to wipe the ceiling area down where you have already stuck those panels. I have some experience with this.

[@paddlefar9175]

[@gardengatesopen]

I would completely replace them & NOT use any as gap filler. Not even after treating them. Fungi has a way of morphing to stay alive! Nature always wins! After you cover it up- You will just never know (unless you can visually inspect it) if the mold truly did stop growing. Just don't use it. It's not worth the risk.

[@ritawentworth]

The house is looking good! Have you noticed if the house is slightly cooler with the insulation in now? I know there are no windows yet but was just wondering.

[@albertalakeland]

With the air gap behind the foam board, you will need venting to allow moisture out. The foam board acts as a vapor barrier with the gap trapping moisture and thus will form mold on the roof side.

I'm doing similar insulation in my heated barn. But leaving a ¾" air gap above for air to flow from the eaves through the gap to the ridge vent. IMPORTANT: Apply a sealed moisture barrier between the heated room air and the foam and roof joists. Warm air holds lots of water, cold air doesnt ... warm air will constantly convect across cold surfaces and dump its moisture there as contact with the cold surface cools the air, soaking joists all winter long. Your ceiling is a winter-long room dehumidifier if you let moisture get past your moisture barrier to where the temperature is at the dew point.

[@gustavemoreau151]

hey there guys... been watching for awhile.... Fellow American living in Europe here and ...Interior designer. I have done many many renovations on old buildings.... may I suggest the following: 1. 24" deep stone walls do not insulating... in fact the stone needs to breathe in order not to damage the joints/mortar... so I do realise this comment may come too late but I didn't realise just how much you were drywalling...... make sure there is an air gap so that drying of condensation can occur. If you do choose to leave stone apparent, you can seal the joints and the stone... this will prevent sand deposits over time (adds to cleaning) make the stone look clean and also allows walls to breathe. You can go fo r shiny, mat, wet look... many, many finish options out there ready to respond to your choice of look. 2. You can consider flush mounted fixtures and/or exposed electrical conduits (EG Copper pipes) on old building like this and void a lot of headaches with the cutting of brick and beams. You can look at a company named Creative Cables (Italian) who have some lovely flush mounted and exposed conduit solutions that will save you time and headaches. 3. You have spent a lot of time cutting and hewing and making stone walls look pretty. May I suggest you leave more stone apparent? It is a shame to cover it up especially given the very painstaking labor you have already done. Hope this helps 😊

[@florianreclaire508]

Did you have an engineer plan this for you? Polystyrene is not an ideal material for this type of situation, The roof is made out of wood and thus moves over time due to moisture changes. This causes gaps between the insulation and the wood (in addition to the gaps that occur due to unprecise cutting) as well as maybe nasty screeching sounds. The gaps have zero insulation value and also enable convection, meaning moist, warm air can protrude to the cold wood behind the insulation and cause condensation/mould. These things need to be planned carefully which includes all details such as cable protrusions, transitions to other parts of the building, vapor barriers etc.

[@NancyHowlett]

It makes perfect sense to insulate your roof so your living area will be nice and warm in winter and cool in the summer time.. you will have the same look of your wood beams… so I think you made the right choice.

Never take the chance! More Mold spores are introduced by the minute, the longer it sits there. Corn startch is good for a dry & absorbant cleaning. Bleach does Not kill mold spores. But, Dawn/ Dish soap, does. So does a FULL-Sun kind of day!🌞

[@lynelizabeth-kl9dp]

Saw a home that had exposed beams like yours and they ran LED strip lights along both sides of all beams. Ran them tight up to the ceiling. Gave good light that could be softened at night on a dimmer. Saves cutting so many holes. He used black strips, so they were very inconspicuous. Gave a lovely ambiance at night.

That’s most likely mildew on the insulation. Mildew grows on surfaces and doesn’t penetrate. It can be cleaned off, but better check on how the foam will react with the cleaning agents.
