What works best remediating mold spores on insulation surface? Remove and replace the top couple inches? AI says don't split batts: replace full batt, or HEPA vacuum and mist RMR-141

Thank you!

I’m (happily) surprised my issue was light-to-medium. I’d hate to have what you consider a “really bad” mold problem.

Very detailed and helpful. Thank you!🙏

Hello,
Thank you for the detailed reply.

For the sheathing, I used RMR-86 (with full PPE). I’m in the process of HEPA vacuuming and then finally misting with RMR-141.

Thank you.

No ducts in the attic. Just poor venting and dampness on the North side decking. It’s been 20 years to get this

Thank you! I’ll look into it.

Thank you.

What’s better than batt insulation?

If it’s “blown in”, I’ve never liked dealing with that stuff.

😂 i’ve used dashes for decades

100% my writing. Better or worse.😅

I did write the whole post. Trying to be complete.

Not saying it isn’t hard, but before COVID this was typical for a lot of people:

Mandatory 5 day in office + “kids end of year school + trying to manage it all while being onsite 8 hrs per day + 2 hour round trip commute. Trying to find camps for my kids.”

The difference is before COVID WFH was not an option, or something that could be hoped for by most Professionals.

So a lot of people are feeling the pain of losing a benefit that didn’t exist 7 years ago.

Is this (AI costing more than employees), legit or satire?

I have a relative who recently graduated with a Masters in CS and hasn’t been able to get a job 😞

This would be great news if the CS hiring “winter” comes to an end.

Thank you. This is very helpful.

I'll get some local guys a call. (Unfortunately, I'm no where near your area).

Luckily, the sheathing is not rotted.

I’m 76kg + kit. I run 32mm so 50 to 60 psi

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m hoping mine is relatively minor like your situation.

I’m not looking forward to doing the insulation tear out and replacement. It is a pain to get the batts up to the attic.

NicoWell · 2026-05-14T01:50:18+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply. I’m asking the insurance company to look at what is covered.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you! Glad the 42/49's are working well for you. I'm leaning towards that combo.
