Liquid Mold Remediation General Protocol

Note: These protocols should be done in addition to your normal protocol.  You may adjust steps as you gain more experience.  We always recommend that restorers follow the IICRC S520 Standards.


Things to think about:

      ALWAYS WEAR PPE!  Quality of life matters.

                The dryer the materials the more product it will absorb.

                The warmer the product the faster the reaction rate and vise versa.

                The dryer the air the better the Liquid Air Scrubber Solution will work.

                Make sure all open plumbing is plugged to keep sewer gas blocked.

                Make sure all “source” growth is gone.

                There is no such thing as a “Magic Wand” for remediation.  The number one reason restorers fail post remediation tests is LAZYNESS.

Crawlspace:

  1.  Make sure moisture content of wood is 12% or less. You can use dehumidifier, indirect fired heater, etc.

  2. Set up negative airflow using ventilation fan(s) to exhaust as much VOC’s as possible during application of product.

  3. Apply Mold Stain Remover to all wooden structure in the crawlspace. (heavy growth may need agitation.)

  4. Allow Negative airflow to continue overnight or use indirect fired heater to quickly dry the crawlspace and speed off gassing of product.

  5. After drying, do a final inspection and reapply product to any suspect areas.

  6. Install vapor barrier over ground and up concrete block wall and glue seams together.

  7. Fog Hydro8 solution before and after spraying to help control elevated mold spores and neutralize any remaining VOC’s.

  8. Close off air vents and place dehumidifier to mechanically control RH to 50% or less.

  9. Thermo Fog Spore Eliminator to help control elevated mold spores.

Attic:

  1. Make sure moisture content of wood is 12% or less.

  2. Set up negative airflow using ventilation fan to exhaust as much VOC’s as possible during application of product.

  3. Apply Mold Stain Remover to all contaminated wooden structure in the attic. (heavy growth may need agitation)

  4. Allow to dry, do a final inspection and reapply product to any suspect areas.

  5. Fog Hydro8 Solution before and after spraying to help control elevated mold spores and neutralize any remaining VOC’s.

  6. Thermo Fog Spore Eliminator to attic to help control elevated mold spores.

  7. Insure that any airflow issues that allowed moisture in attic be corrected to prevent future growth.

​

​

Living Spaces:

  1. Insure that no textiles are susceptible to coming into contact with Mold Stain Remover product.  

  2. Dry structure to 12% MC or less and 50% RH or less.

  3. Remove non-salvageable building materials and / or contents.

  4. Set up negative airflow using ventilation fan to exhaust as much VOC’s as possible while spraying

  5. Apply Mold Stain Remover to all contaminated building materials.  (Will not hurt painted surfaces.  May discolor stained wood.)

  6. Allow negative airflow for couple of hours to reduce VOC’s.

  7. Set up drying equipment to dry structure back down to 12% MC or less and 50% RH or less.

  8. Fog Hydro8 Solution before & after spraying to help control elevated mold spores and neutralize any remaining VOC’s and mycotoxins.

  9. Thermo Fog Spore Eliminator to entire home including through HVAC ductwork to help control elevated mold spores.
