Help! DIY Mold Removal in Basement?

Hi All!

I've got a mold problem in my basement and am looking for some advice on DIY removal. I already had a mold report done and the types of mold were identified as Cladosporium and Non-sporulating fungi.

From the research I've done neither of these seem dangerous, but I'm still not sure whether it's time to call in some professionals or if I can take care of the issue on my own.

So far I've been attacking the issue by removing the effected paint and spackle and getting to what appears to be un-effected concrete.

Here's a picure of the mold around the sump pump (I have not removed the paint and spackle there yet):


Here's the wall where the offending moldy paint and spackle has been removed, but i'm worried that I may need to knock down the drywall to see if there's more mold lurking behind it:


I'm also wondering if this wooden door frame needs to be replaced:


Any advice is GREATLY appreciated

You have 2 issues. First there must be a moisture problem in the basement. You'll have to tackle that eventually or there will be many more serious problems (the rotting door frame is an indication).

But to get rid of the mold, you can try these:
1. Tea tree oil (2 tsp to 2 cups water) in a spray bottle.
2. Sprinkle baking soda on the mold, spray undiluted white vinegar onto the baking soda. It will fizz up, wait 2 hours and rinse or wipe off with damp cloth.

These will kill the mold but it will come back. For a more permanent solution try concrobium which is an eco-friendly mold killer. Check out their site http://www.concrobium.com/ to see if it meets your needs.
