DIY "Mold Removal"
on a BUDGET!!!

Part ONE

Hot Topic of the Week – How To Remove Mold Safely on a Budget

              Making improvements in one’s home is a natural desire for many people. It symbolizes pride of property, progress and success; however in a weakened economy it can be difficult to keep moving forward in these endeavors. Fortunately as many homeowners - who have already dabbled in remodeling projects - will tell you, one of the best ways to save money on a new project is to do as much as possible yourself! You may be wondering if it’s even possible for a homeowner  to take up any part of a Mold Remediation into their own hands and remove the mold or water damaged materials safely. If you would like to find out how to get rid of those unsightly mold spots on the walls, soggy ceilings or dry rot wood under the kitchen sink etc. without breaking the bank, then you’re in luck: In this article we will discuss some of the tips of the trade to keep in mind in order to get the most for your buck. The following will cover: having the proper equipment and protection, how to avoid cross contamination and even a special bonus tip from Project Manager Alp who has over a decade of experience in the field.

To get started here is the main list of equipment and accessories you’ll need regardless of your project’s size:

  • HEPA Air Scrubber
  • Primary and Secondary Filters (also called Stage I and Stage II)
  • Flexible Duct (sometimes referred to as Flex Hose)
  • Plastic/Poly sheeting
  • Strong Duct tape and Masking Tape (you may also want Zipper Pulls for entryway)
  • Wire brush
  • Cleaning Agent
  • Air Brush/Paint Sprayer with Generator

You will also need Personal Protection Equipment (often simply referred to as “PPE”):

  • Full body suit with hoodie
  • Protective Gloves
  • Eye Protection
  • Respirator

In addition to the above, certain projects may require other equipment as follows:

  • Carbon Filter (for Air Scrubber used with primary/secondary filters, when working with chemical odors)
  • Dehumidifier
  • Air Blower
In next week’s article (part two) we will continue this topic and introduce you to a scenario in which we will cover how to conduct a small scale mold remediation. See you then!**
