Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 They are probably talking about a fungicide like sporicidin. You can have then give MSDS sheets on all before they begin. If you are chemical intolerate you really need to find out what they are doing. How they are doing things.    God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: <k23la@...> Sent: Thu, September 9, 2010 8:17:05 PM Subject: [] mold remediation / water damage  We just found that there was a big water damage bathroom and drywalls. I had one of the big companies come in and they started immediately. Dehumidifier ... No panic, I am not in the house at the moment. In the contract they say they want to use chemicals if necessary. Does anybody know which chemicals would be eventually ok, if necessary? Which chemicals have to be avoided? Are chemicals necessary if the drywalls anyhow have to be replaced. Thanks for any input.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hello , I'm not sure chemicals would help. Removal of damaged materials is most important. I would ask what kind of chemicals they had in mind, and what their goal is in using them.--AN On Sep 9, 2010, at 7:17 PM, " " <k23la@...> wrote: We just found that there was a big water damage bathroom and drywalls.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Generally chemicals are needed for infectious organisms like some bacteria and for virus. Usually associated with sewage. Almost never needed for mold because killing mold doesn't stop the predominant health effects. The bacteria isn't infectious. Even if needed there should be full disclosure and written permission by the responsible party before use. ACGIH, EPA, AIHA, and ANSI-IICRC S500 and S520 all discourage general and routine use.
