Proposed fungicide to use on home/ Shockwave

[Guest guest]

I've gotten a bid to clean up my attic. Not much mold up there but

some found, the length of one beam and some other wood here and

there. Also attic air getting down into house so this is most

likely why I feel sick at home during the summer months. Actually

not doing too well anywhere now as mold count is up outside.

Anyway....proposal to clean attic, throwing out old insulation and

hepa cleaning attic, then using two products on any mold there. Bid

is okay, not cheap but okay. I don't mind them using fungusicide to

clean up mold on wood because I can stay out of house for awhile.

However proposed to spray entire attic with post

remediation 'encapsulating' product which has fungusicide in it.

Since attic gets very hot I figure it will offgas for a long time,

and even if areas that are allowing attic air to come down can be

tightened, one will never keep all attic air out of an old house, so

think spraying the whole attic with a fungusicde doesn't sound good

to me. Anyone have any comments about this?

I'm thinking I could ask him to use post remediation product he

calls an 'encapsulant' with fungusicide on only that wood that

needed to be cleaned of mold.

That's one idea but wonder if I should have something like that

sprayed in attic at all.

He is proposing to use a product called Shockwave to clean mold

areas and Aftershock to encapsulate wood in attic:
