Our standards for Mold Remediation
Dry Ice Blasting
Dry ice blasting on wooden studs removes mold without damaging the wood or the surface and is a clean process.
Run HEPA Air Scrubbers
HEPA stands for "High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter." This means the filter in the air scrubber is able to remove at least 99.97% of air borne paricles. HEPA filters down to two to three microns in size. Mold spores range from two to twenty microns. HEPA air scrubbers impove the air quality in your home by aliminating air borne paticulates. HEPA air scrubbers are run during and thirty hours after the remediation process. This removes airborne mold spores that can put out toxins throughout the house. The air is turned over approximately 500 times per hour.
Dehumidifiers
Decreases the amount of moisture in the air. Mold spores are able to begin colonization when humidity is present above fifty percent. By placing dehumidifers in the containment area we are able to dry out the property quicker and reduce the production of mold spores.
Treat studs with a Biocide
After wood is exposed, a biocide is applied to treat the wood and prevent future mold growth.
Coat exposed wood with Foster 40/20.
The exposed contaminated wood, which was cleaned, would be coated with a fungicidal protective coating. Foster provides a 10 year warranty.
Ozone
Ozone removes the airborne mold spores out of the air. The property needs to be Ozone for approximately 30 hours.
