The HEPA vacuum is a special vacuum used in mold removal. It captures the mold spores do they do not spread into the air. HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air. Vacuums equipped with HEPA filtration trap the dirt you can't see, rather than sending allergens back into the air. A wet-vac or shop-vac will not capture mold spores. they will spread them in the home. Here is some themoldinsider.com/proteam-backpack-vacuum-review/
Vacuum is out of stock. Is there any other Hepa vacs you recommmend for mold removal? We just found mold in our basement rafters and can’t afford remediation so looking to buy an air scrubber and hepa vac to do ourselves. Also, do all scrubbers need to vented outside? Wouldn’t there Hepa filter catch the mold?
