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.

Dry Ice Blasting How does our current cleaning process compare?

Dry ice blasting is the superior alternative to Media Blasting, Solvents, Water, Steam, Hand Cleaning, Chemicals and Abrasives

Dry Ice Blasting is an environmentally friendly alternative to most conventional surface preparation and cleaning methods. Compare dry ice blast cleaning process and see how it can add value to your cleaning of your home or business.

* Upon contact, traditional blasting materials become contaminated when used to clean hazardous substances and objects. These blasting materials are also then classified as toxic waste and require appropriate safe disposal.

 

 

Top 7 Reasons Dry Ice Blasting is superior:

1. No secondary waste clean up: this not only saves additional cleanup labor and expense, but also means temporary containment areas can possibly be reused - an additional cost savings

 

2 Can get into tight spaces that many other methods can not

 

3 Environmentally friendly: meets USDA, FDA and EPA guidelines

 

4. Operator safety: no exposure to chemicals or grit media

 

5. Operator efficiency: not as labor intensive as traditional cleaning methods

 

6. Clean enough for the food industry, strong enough for everything else

 

7. It's important to remember that dry ice blasting doesn't use abrasion to clean.
