Yes, hand it off to a professional remediation company.

No high pressure! Muratic acid mixed 50/50 with water put on with a brush or a sprayer and lots of elbo!

Wet the wall then apply the mixture and scrub and rinse!

Are you sure it is mold and not moss?I would just do like Larry says and report it as organic growth.

[Carl A. Brown]

And or do what larry said!

[Dennis R. Goudreau]

no its mold the moss was on the roof

[Dennis R. Goudreau]

thanks carl I will pass that along, the son wants to sell the home and was looking for ways to clean it up without calling in a remedation co.

[Carl A. Brown]

Bleach 50/50 with water might also do it!

[Dennis R. Goudreau]

thanks again Carl

[relliott]

That is what I was hoping Carl would say.The acid is extremely caustic and needs to be neutralized with Baking Soda whereas at least you can dilute bleach with plain old water.DIY types need to use a lot of caution with that stuff ,so make sure you tell him to protect his eyes and skin.
I know it sounds dumb,but not everybody can hold a screwdriver or work with caustic chemicals

[Carl A. Brown]

Good pointes Robert!

[Dennis R. Goudreau]

thanks Robert I will pass that on to the guy, they have no interest in pro mold removal at all, I told them this is a issue that should be dealt with hopefully they will try these suggestions and then call someone thanks for your help

If there is black mold visible on the exterior, what does that tell us about moisture problems within the wall? There may be more serious issues here, and an exterior wash may get rid of the surface problem, but my guess is that this is only a temporary fix. Thoughts?

As Jimmy pointed out cleaning the mold does not solve the underlying problem. Moisture problem should be repaired instead of being passed on to the next family.

Is it all over or just on the north and east sides?
