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.

Mold Removal without Destruction!

What is the best way to get rid of mold?
Our treatment uses the MTR94 enzyme to clean and destroy mold within 24 hours.

MTR94 is a breakthrough new technology in mold removal and cleaning which simply makes other methods of mold removal obsolete.  Rather than ripping out and replacing infected areas, or worse, using hazardous chemicals and biocides to dissolve the mold, MTR94 is 100% natural and organic enzyme that simply cleans the mold, safely and effectively.  It is a safer, faster, and less expensive method of mold removal than anything else available today.

Take a walk around your home

Be proactive, walk around your home and look around your foundation for an inadequate grade, look up and make sure that your gutters are cleaned out and if not, get those trees out of there!

Another sign is to make sure that your humidity levels are correct, give us a call for an inspection to make sure you are living in a healthy home.

Don't mess around with Mold, it could be Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is an infection, growth, or allergic response due to the Aspergillus fungus.

Causes

Aspergillosis is caused by a fungus (Aspergillus), which is commonly found growing on dead leaves, stored grain, compost piles, or in other decaying vegetation. It can also be found on marijuana.  Although most people are frequently exposed to aspergillus, infections caused by the fungus rarely occur in people with a normal immune system. The rare infections caused by aspergillus include pneumonia and fungus ball (aspergilloma). There are several forms of aspergillosis:

Pulmonary aspergillosis - allergic bronchopulmonary type -- is an allergic reaction to the fungus that usually develops in people who already have lung problems (such as asthma or cystic fibrosis).

Aspergilloma -- is a growth (fungus ball) that develops in an area of previous lung disease or lung scarring

(such as tuberculosis or lung abscess).

Pulmonary aspergillosis - invasive type -- is a serious infection with pneumonia that can spread to other parts of the body. This infection occurs almost exclusively in people with weakened immune systems due to cancer, AIDS, leukemia, organ transplantation, chemotherapy, or other conditions or medications that lower the number of normal white blood cells or weaken the immune system.

Be sure to ask any Company ~ Do You Perform After Remediation Testing?

WHAT IF MY HOME NEEDS TO PASS A MOLD CLEARANCE TEST?
No problem, we do post testing with every treatment. The national lab will provide you with a full report.

WHAT IS “FOGGING” AND WHY IS IT BETTER?

We combine cleaning with fogging for the most thorough treatment. We utilize commercial grade professional fogging equipment. This equipment allows our unique formulation to disburse in molecules small enough to reach into electrical receptacles, inside walls and penetrate porous surfaces such as carpet, and ceiling tiles. It goes the same places that the mold spores floating in the air contaminating your home. For this reason you get a much more through process versus trying to scrub all surfaces with a chemical fungicide or biocide without missing a spot. Missed treatment areas allow the microscopic mold spores to remain behind to mature on another day when conditions are right.
