187: Mold Remediation (and more) Q&A: What Works, What Fails, and How to Get It Right

In this episode of #moldfinders: RADIO, I’m diving into your most pressing mold-related questions from a recent Instagram Live.

I break down the remediation process (including why source remediation and fine particle cleaning matter), and tackle common mistakes that cause remediation to fail.

I also cover practical topics like home inspections, fogging techniques (yes, we use fogging—here’s how and why), and the crucial steps for cleaning your home post-remediation. Plus, we’ll talk about setting priorities, cost-effective remediation strategies, and why standard HEPA filters might not be enough to keep your air clean.

If you're navigating mold issues, this episode is packed with insights to help you make informed decisions for a healthier home!
