You need to finish back up RMR-141 after the 86 as it kills and prevents future mold build up by putting a protective barrier and it penetrates the wood better.

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

yeah a bunch have people have told me this. I didn't know at the time. I haven't been up in my attic to see if it's grown back but if it has I'll just repeat the process with both chemicals next time

[@jasebenson21]

This is an awesome video. Any update if any of the mold came back?

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

@@jasebenson21 it did come back a little bit. As the comment above states there's another product that you're supposed to use after this one that I was unaware of. I don't understand why the 2 products aren't combined. Why would anyone want to get rid of the mold stains but not want to prevent it from coming back and have to repeat the whole process???

[@medmark77]

​@@BorsellinoHomeServicesfrom what the manufacturer says, these chemicals can't be mixed. The bleach in RMR 86 would deactivate the germicidal enzymes in RMR 141.

[@kathyern861]

good stuff that RMR-86.

[@billysonlinesurveychannel8247]

great video and lots of good comments in the comment section. Dont take the video down..just maybe add to the title

[@lindamadden6876]

rmr-86 works well but you should be applying antimicrobial afterwards and finding whatever the ventilation issue is or it will just grow back. Also when stapling of baffles do not shove them all the way down into bird block pull back approximately 3 in. Then staple also make sure you can see daylight coming in through bird block or insulation is too tight against Eve.

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

Thanks for the tip. When I installed the baffles they are just over the exterior wall into the soffit. My house has 20" overhangs so there's lots of space between them and the facia so I know they aren't blocked.

[@robertjosip1923]

Wow worked perfectly!

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

[@chriscarson7764]

[@hyrsk1552]

Did you take a swab after to make sure the mold was gone

[@webcompanion]

BTW as my late great Master Handyman Glen Haege used to always say on the radio, "you can't add insulation without ventilation". In other words, if you're going to put in even more R-factor, you need to add more air intakes and vents to help keep the attic cool

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

yeah the house has soffit and ridge vents but i think that they under-engineer them both in the factory. I have considered adding gable vents but then you run into issues where they can negate the existing vents

[@HulaShack1]

Professionals will say you can't do it DIY but that is because it hurts their business. One of my neighbors just paid 30K for mold remediation. That is just robbery.

awesome product....i didnt notice any roof vents, do you think this may have been part of the cause?

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

There's soffit and ridge vents. If you have those, you're not supposed to have any other vents. But obviously the ventilation isn't enough. I've thought about putting in a gable vent with a fan. My dad has one that is hooked to a thermostat in his house. Gets the heat and humidity out of the attic in the summer, which I am thinking is a big part of the problem

[@svenkat2006]

I want to buy this kit, that includes the spray, face mask and the RMR-86 PRO. Need this urgently, they removed the attic insulation for 1500 dollars and demanded 1500 dollars for mold removal. I declined as it is very expensive to pay 1500 dollars, I want to do it myself which is definitely cheaper.

[@walterjoncas12]

Well done Nick! That is an amazing product! It would seem moisture is being trapped in the attic space. I think I saw a ridge vent. Is that enough? Also, are there vents in the soffits? I was surprised when you said the product you sprayed was still wet a few days after application. What do you think?

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

yes there is ridge and soffit vents but I'm planning to add some gable vents which I would never recommend but the ridge vent doesn't seem to be doing it's job. Yeah I think it was wet because it has been so cold and I put A LOT of the stuff on LOL

[@whitetrashandhellbound6905]

The problem is the ridge vent install. Sooo many "Roofers" will Squash the Fiber Product risge vent and then it is virtually useless. You need to use 2.5-3" nails through your Ridge Cap to no Squash the Fiber Vent. Or, if they used the Harder Plastic ridge vent the it could be clogged with Leaves, Dirt, Bug Nests, etc. Also, continuing the attic vents ALL THE WAY to your ridge vent in each cavity can help with adequate air flow. Are you ridge vents installed without obstruction at the soffit end. I see Insulators that "Blow" the attics blow the fiberglass right down the vents (Baffles) and not care about it, clogging the vent (Baffle) itself. Alot of contractors have the "It's not my house" attitude, not all contractors. But one bad apple... anyway, hope it all works put for you.

[@ClarkWells7]

Did you need to run a hepa air scrubber at the same time to avoid spreading spores?

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

I didn't use one but probably wouldn't hurt. I wasn't really disturbing the mold by just spraying it. If I was scrubbing I would definitely want some sort of air purification

[@marychen890]

When you spread that product to the roof sheathing, did the liquid drip into the insulation?

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

If you put too much on, yes. It's very fluid like water. But most of it soaked in. Lots of overspray too. I was okay with it getting on the insulation in case there was any mold on it, and then when everything was dry I added another layer of R30 insulation on top

[@dalilacunha5287]

Hey beautiful

[@oregonhomeinspections3692]

Are you sure the staining isn't from a leaking roof? I'm sure the vent was contributing to the staining but I think you have roof leak. Nice video!

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

the only leak was an ice dam one winter but that was taken care of. even still it shouldn't have caused mold in the entire attic

[@vernalee4974]

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

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

apparently yes! this is a quote direct from RMR Solution's website "What type of surfaces is RMR-86 not safe to use on? RMR‐86 can be corrosive if applied to the following materials: ductwork, copper, metal, mechanicals, nail plates, steel, aluminum, or any materials prone to corrosion. If RMR‐86 is accidentally applied to these materials, quickly wash area with soap and water or wipe down with WD‐40."

[@Rodrigo22tierod]

Do u need to check bathroom exhaust line may is leaking and all moisture keep on the attic.

[@BorsellinoHomeServices]

Thanks for the idea. It's definitely connected. I think the ridge and soffit vent just isn't sufficient. Also I didn't have enough insulation in the attic so it got warm and then caused frost on the plywood. And in the summer it is so humid here and hot in the attic that it just exacerbated it. I added more insulation and that helped this winter. I want to add an attic fan next

[@chrisjames5188]

I've started with mould patches on different walls. In my attic which keeps coming back after removing with bleach and water. Should I tackle this myself?

good question, but i don't know the answer!

[@padraics]

Bleach or rmr86 only removes the stains, need to also apply a disinfectant like rmr141 (ammonium chloride)

[@josepeixoto3384]

If it is bleach, the answer is Y E S of course; that product is a bit of a scam; BUT, bleach does not kill the root of mold in porous surfaces,like wood or stucco,it just clears the COLOR of the visible part at the surface; DO NOT blow on the mold with any kind of sprayer that agitates the air, ,it needs to be very softly done, very slowly!! ---- the mold SPORES are so light and loose, they can even travel in SMOKE from a fire, for thousands of miles, it has been found way out in another country( internet has that...); mold will release its spores into the air if you just wave your HAND near it!!! Mold loves that,that is the way it SPREADS, it's its technique, otherwise it will just saty there in the HUMIDITY stain; another GOOD way is to WIPE it off with RAGS and HOT WATER, doing it extremely S L O W ... i wear proper masks and a motorcycle helmet and disposable gown when i do it; A way better than bleach, is to use regular 3% Hydrogen Peroxide; that KILLS MOLD, read up on it,B E F O R E you do anything; they sell spray bottles with it ,in a half-gell form , very convenient for overhead areas,it clings on, fizzes and kills mold; but if the roof leak was not FIXED, it will come back if it is a porous surface, you'd need a BIOCIDE then (pro stuff..); need ventilation too.

I want to chime in as a professional. Do not use this as your process. You need to remove mold first..... RMR is only a stain remover. Removal takes physical abrasion with wire brushes, sanders, meadia blaster and or hepa vacuums. This just bleaches the surface. If you took a lift tape sample of this area as well as an air quality test it would prove that mold is still in the area. Words of wisdom, seek professional help and someone with an AMRT Certification.

I asked a professional and he said that rmr-86(normal version not pro) is a good home solution for mold like this. It's more for staining but it does kill mold as well, as the active ingredient in it, which is the same as bleach, does kill mold. Not as effective as other chemicals but it does. Use proper protection and ventilation as it is a toxic chemical of course. Nothing beats having a professional come in and properly treat it and remove it, but at least based on what I have (which isn't as bad as this attic) rm-86, is an adequate home solution. At least according to the professional I asked about home solutions so idk I think it can still be considered
