Educational Mold Videos
In 2016, Valor Mold Removal owner David Myrick taught a class on mold at the Women’s Forum in Fredericksburg, VA. Topics included…
- The problems with chemical mold remediation
- Misconceptions about black mold
- The link between mold exposure and upper respiratory sickness
- How mold in the household affects children
- Why your body can’t just “get used” to mold in your home
- And more
Heavy rainfall hit DC, VA, and MD in the summer of 2018. Fox 5 interviewed David for advice on what to do if moisture is creating mold in your home.
A common question clients ask is how long air scrubbers should run in a containment area after remediation. A lot of mold remediators make a big deal about how they run their air scrubbers for 48-72 hours after remediation. But the truth is that, when done right, air scrubbers need to run for only about two hours!
