Autumn - time favorites of fruits and vegetables, jams and pickles for storage. But what if the intruders have settled in cellars and basements - mold mushrooms? Participants FORUMHOUSE give tips on how to get rid of mold.

Validating kostt faced with the problem of mold in the first year after the reconstruction of the cellar:

- Can you please tell how to kill mold. White, fluffy, mostly on wooden items cellar (manhole cover, shelves, drawers), but there on the concrete. On the floor - screed; wall - timber, roofing, concrete blocks, stucco, tile finish is not yet finished; ceiling - Plates road. In the winter I hood sealed, because the top - unheated house.

Participant forumhouse.ru Pauline He advises:

- To start you will be examined with ventilation and waterproofing.

Most often causes the appearance of mold and mildew are moisture and poor ventilation. In the absence of convection air stagnates, providing favorable conditions for their development. Here and in the cellar at kostt in the cold season does not function hood - clearly forumchanin fears the cold air flow inside. Problems can be avoided if done properly ventilated.

More cellar is possible to learn about the structure of the materialPublished earlier on our website.

For waterproofing of basements and cellars using molten bitumen or asphalt mastic - they coat with pre-dried walls. To protect the basement from moisture and oily clay used. Outdoors it stack up against the wall in the pre-dug trench depth of 0.5-1 m and a width of 20-30 cm, and then pour the concrete blind area.

If water leaks out through the precoat floor, a layer of clay 10-15 cm carefully tamped, roofing felt is laid on top and poured concrete floor.

- Act will have two stages. Step 1 - disinfection basement with sulfuric checkers. Step 2 - whitewash walls and wooden structures lime with the addition of ferrous sulfate.

However, sulfuric bomb can only be used outside the premises, ie forumchanin kostt this method is not suitable, because it is a cellar under the house.

- use his sword in the cellar under the house - will bring together with a mold and households. The best solution - it is proper ventilation. Everything else - temporarily.

It does not recommend the use of sulfuric acid bomb and participant FORUMHOUSE

- Sulfuric checker once tried - I did not like. I have mold all the time appears in the corner, on the boards, and a brick wall. I throw the board at once, and the wall of processed blowtorch. Until next summer mildew appears. This year, when treated with a special impregnation of lumber for construction, at the same time treated by the same means and the walls - yet there is no mold.

Indeed, the choice of chemicals - biocide against mold and mildew - in stores today is huge and can be treated with the surface of ready-made solution.

What if all of these do not help? Sometimes it happens. Validating with the nickname I build for themselves I tried most of the popular methods, but the mold is back:

- Severely grown mold. It began to rise a few years ago, was on wooden shelves and the concrete walls. Tree is thrown, concrete, lime with copper sulfate. Made new shelves, before laying the processed wood preservative... It did not help, after a year again the mold and in large quantities. Periodically turn on a quartz lamp. It helps, but quite a bit. With ventilation all right, right Ventilation and air extraction. Cellar, of course, is not dry, but no condensate or no puddles. The temperature of +14 in summer to winter 3 with open ventilation. It can be more dry and warm, but then lost the meaning of the cellar itself. Actually the question: how to treat?

Member forum PIM56 It suggests that in the cellar forumchanin settled real brownie fungus crying tube worm (Serpula lacrymans) - derevorazrushitel tinder of the family:

- Pay attention to the presence of massive fruiting bodies, branched mycelial walls of bundles and the presence of the red-haired "powder". Fighting tube worm with 100% result is almost impossible, especially if it does not start at the initial stage of development, ie. E. much later than the first signs of the fungus present in the form of white gun.

But still PIM56 He advises to try to overcome the tube worm, a number of steps:

• explore all possible places and look for fruiting body of the fungus (keep in mind that fungal spores can spread on their feet and clothes and be dangerous for the neighboring buildings);
• remove from the cellar and burned all the wood;
• remove and take to the dump floor filling;
• concrete surface to process all of the gas burner and a chemical treatment serious antiseptic.

The fungus can be taken on the mycological examination to pinpoint his views and to seek professional advice to combat it. If you deal with mold and mildew on their own do not have time and energy for the disinfection of affected premises, you can invite a team of sanitary and epidemiological stations.
