Mold remediation or paint?

[Mike Lamb]

I know very little about mold remediation. Does this look like some kind of mold killer or just paint?

The "mold killer" stuff that I usually see has no pigment. 

Lots of people just spray it with Kilz, which is what that looks like.

RMR is a mold killer that goes on clear, and destroys the nasties, leaving the wood looking clean. At least that's what the video shows. The other treatments we were told about at a HI chapter meeting leaves the wood visible, so its effect on the mold can be seen.

Yeah. Looks like paint, to me, though I don't know why they would use so little as to leave the underlying problem visible.

sure looks like kilz or BIN or other synthetic mold food.  We see it 50-60 times a year.  mostly advertised as a mold killer or mold stop.  Far as I know it does neither.  

 

I do own a restoration company and we only use Concrobium (bakiing soda) and couple of mold color removers, hydrogen peroxide base. 

 

Some kid at big box told them what to do.

Looks like the same thinned out white paint sprayed all over every distressed bank owned POS I've ever been in.

Years ago I inspected a little house that used gas space heaters, those notorious moisture generators, on which a contractor had laid a metal panel roof.  In so doing he eliminated every bit of attic ventilation there was.  The entire attic frame and deck was blackened by something related to moisture accumulation.
