Unlock the Mystery

We visit so many homes and always ask the question, “IS ANYONE IN THE HOUSEHOLD EXPERIENCING HEALTH ISSUES?”  We get two (2) commons responses. Either “how did you know?” or we get the answer “NO” but later, after having some time to think about it, they then start to associate some nagging cough or allergy symptom with possible mold contamination in their home.

Air sampling is the key to unlocking the mystery. Our air sampling starts at just $250 so give us a call today at 317-837-6665 or toll free at 1-877-877-9744 with any questions you may have.

Household Spray Cause an Increase in Asthma

Article we feel is worth sharing:
Tuesday, June 8, 2010
http://living.oneindia.in/health/wellbeing/2010/household-cleaning-sprays-cause-asthma-080610.html


A leading health expert Jan Paul Zock, from Centre of Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona said, the use of household cleaning sprays could spread to a rise in cases of asthma.

Chemicals like chlorine bleach, disinfectants and other cleaning agents can increase asthma and worsen the existing symptoms.  He particularly warned that the professional cleaners and health workers who use products in hospitals are particularly vulnerable.

Zock said that through experiments and studies higher rates of asthma had found among caretakers, cleaners, housekeepers and nurses .The expert said, people inhaling bleach, ammonia, decalcifiers, acids, solvents and stain removers more than a week are linked to a 20 per cent rise in asthma or wheezing. Frequent usage of these cleaning agents will be at more risk than those who use them for longer durations. The strength of a product, in addition to room ventilation, also affect the risk.

The expert said that further studies should be done on people's exposure at home, which can be difficult to track.

He said many people at home could be at risk. Thus he quotes saying, "The number of people at risk is very large, We need to consider the ubiquitous use of cleaning products at home.”

More reasons to never use bleach for mold clean-up.  See our Bleach article on our website for more information.

Did you know Mold can cause a lung infection?

Aspergillosis is an acute pulmonary infection caused by the aspergillus fungus.

Here are a few questions that we hear often when visit a client:

What is your mold disintegrating Enzyme & Why is it better?
Our special formula is called MTR94. It isn't a chemical at all, but a naturally occurring enzyme formula which breaks down and cleans mold. This hungry little enzyme does all the work for you and doesn't use any harmful chemicals or toxins to do its job. It is an environmentally-friendly, green solution, to mold removal.

Additionally our process is NON-Destructive Remediation , no hazardous chemicals released in your home, 100% Money-Back Guarantee, One-Year Guarantee, save over 50% as compared to traditional methods, quick Process (most jobs take only 1 day) and non-toxic and biodegradable cleaning process (guaranteed safe).

Our researcher describes the enzyme effectiveness as quite natural.  In fact is derived from plants.  For thousands of years plants in the woods have had to live in the same space as mold.  Mold function in the wild is to help biodegrade materials to recycle.  Yet plants had to survive and live right next to the mold and built up it's own natural defense to survive against mold.  So it make sense that the same biological process that keep the mold from destroying healthy plants is now the same material we use to cleanse your home.

Are there any after effects from the cleaning?

What we typically see is our clients telling us how much better they feel after the treatment. Many times we hear of symptoms that have cleared that they never associated with the mold exposure. One gal reported that her 3 year old daughter no longer had her sleep disturbed by a chronic cough she once had.

Further MTR94 leaves behind an invisible, organic-based "barrier" on a surface area. This microbial coating helps to retard future mold growth. If the area experiences reoccurring moisture exposures, the coating may need to be reapplied. Also, paint adheres to the barrier so you won't have any difficulty if you choose to repaint later.

And remember, we offer a Money Back Guarantee

Myth & Reality Concerning Mold

“I see mold but my mold test came back at low levels, so it must not be mold and I don’t have a problem.”

Two things we typically find in this circumstance.  One is because the mold colony has not been disturbed, in other words no one has tried to clean it.  This occurs in attics and crawl spaces and sometimes even in basements.  The colony just continued to grow silently feeding off the wood or drywall.  Mold when disturbed by cleaning or someone touching triggers the colony to send out thousands of spores into the air in an effort to survive.  This Mother Nature response is similar to when a child or dog runs through the field of flowers and disperses the pollen from a flower into the air.

Secondly, mold actually has a cycle similar to other plants’ pollination cycle.  So as mold matures it will send off more spores to continue and spread the colony but that does not occur daily and has a maturation process.  If testing occurs during a dormant cycle then the counts may read low.  That is why we often use a swab to capture what looks like a mold colony and send to the lab to verify.

The moral of the story... if you suspect mold you may need to call in an expert .

Community Involvement

It is important to give back to the community when you can so we participated in a Habitat for Humanity Build for the Greater Indianapolis chapter.  Although it was brutally hot that day teamwork was in full swing as you can see and everyone stayed hydrated.  We all felt good leaving the work site at the end of the day.


We have added the photos to our photo gallery, take a look!
