Containment (poly barriers) and Protection for Yourself are THE most Important parts of your project. Seal mold in the room and away from you!

Individual rooms are easy to contain once the preparation is done. Make sure to seal off the doorway to minimize cross contamination.


Once you have determined where to cut into walls, use a chalk line and straight edge. Square openings are easier to repair.

Longer walls require a little more time and effort, but make sure that you attempt as straight a cut as possible, making Build Back easier.

Exposed areas should be cleaned and vacuumed before beginning clean up. This area is ready to be scraped, sanded and sprayed.

Tear out can seem never ending once you begin to open up walls and expose the infestation you can't see with-out exposing it.

This floor plate was barely salvageable after exposure and sanding. Always try to save any structural components when-ever possible.

You may be able to expose infested areas w/out removing tubs and large appliances etc., but be prepared to do what it takes.
