| Cedar Siding
Mold Removal It is a common problem that mold grows in exterior cedar siding. It needs to be first killed with two sprayings [with drying in between] of EPA-registered fungicide which is manufacturer-rated to kill mold on both porous and nonporous surfaces. Then the mold growth needs to be physically-removed by power planer, power grinder with wire brush attachment, and power sander. Then the cleaned surface needs to be sprayed at least once or twice more with EPA-registered fungicide, and then the fungicidal coating. Then the cedar siding should be re-stained and then sealed with a plastic coating paint to seal the wood from moisture penetration [e.g., from rain and high humidity]. Besides improving the looks of a home or building, the mold removal will keep the mold from growing inward into the home walls and also prevent [by getting rid of the mold] airborne mold spores from the exterior mold from traveling indoors in air currents through open windows and doors, and the fresh air intake of the heating/cooling system. |
