Kitchen sink mold removal. Let us show you a few steps.
Hey guys, Jim here with the twin home experts today we're doing another
kitchen sink mold removal job. We get questions all the time how do I identify
if there is mold underneath the kitchen sink? Well, in this case, you can see clear
evidence of massive water damage and mold that is actually on the drywall as
well as on the bottom of this cabinet. So one of the things that we get question
all the time is can I use bleach/ Can I use white vinegar, baking soda? None of
those work. They don't get rid of the actual root of the mold. The mold that's
embedded inside the organic materials such as drywall and wood. You want to use
a very aggressive antimicrobial. And when you're using an antimicrobial like this
they have to use protective equipment such as rubber gloves, Tyvek suits, and a
mask. Let me show you what our product does underneath the kitchen cabinet.
So we want to go ahead and let that sit as you can see here it's starting to eat
away the biofilm. So we let this sit here and a good anti microbial will react
this way. So we're gonna go ahead and show you the next shot here. Okay guys so
now we've let that sit for about I don't know forty seconds a minute. Take your
rag here and it should just wipe off here like this.
Okay so you want to do this a couple different times you want to do this a
couple times but you can see just even the first wipe down when a good
antimicrobial will do to get rid of mold on drywall. All right, so what's that
first wipe down is done we're gonna go ahead and spray it again. Now one of the
things to keep in mind when you're identifying mold and treating mold
underneath the kitchen sink is when you have material like this that's
compromised it's gonna have to be cut out bagged and disposed. The other thing
to keep in mind when you're doing kitchen sink mold remediation as you
build a critical barrier like we've done here. What this does is it just creates a
working space so mold spores do not escape and go into the other parts of
the property. The other thing to keep in mind is an air scrubber. This air
scrubber has a HEPA filtration so any mold that's cross contaminating into the
earth our air scrubber is going to pick it up and take it out that window there,
okay. So we're going to go ahead and continue on here. Okay guys so one of the
things when you're identifying mold is you've got to make sure that all leaks,
all water sources have been identified. One of the biggest things here is
faucets and the top of granite. Look for areas around the sink that caused and
have any breaches because water dumps very slowly over a long period of time.
So side sprays, soap dispensers, faucets, come down here, pea traps, water lines.
These are all areas of concern that cause the most destruction to a kitchen
cabinet. So keep in mind when you're treating the
mold that's one thing but taking care of the actual problem that's creating the
mold is your biggest source and that is the water. if you've got to stop all
water sources. One of the key factors of when you're
dealing with this type of kitchen sink mold is you waterproof the bottom and
put a water alarm. So that way in the future if you ever do have a leak you're
gonna be alerted. Alright folks you're probably wondering what does kitchen
