Dry Fog Mold Remediation:

  • How do I know for sure I have mold in my home?

    Mold grows on damp surfaces like bathroom walls and trim around

    windows, or on surfaces that has or had water saturation, like in

    areas of a burst water pipe, leaking roof, or flooded basement.

    Molds may look like furry growth, black stains, or specks of black,

    white, orange, green or brown.



    If you don't see obvious visual signs of mold on the surfaces of a

    structure in your home, but have an area or areas of your home

    that had a sustained level of water intrusion or dampness,

    especially if that area has a "musty" smell or water staining, you

    likely have a mold issue.



    The one sure way to know you have mold is to have a certified

    mold inspector visit your hold and take air quality mold spore

    tests.

  • How do I know when mold needs to be removed from my home?

    Whenever you see mold in your home.



    Whenever you smell musty odors in your home.



    Whenever you feel better away from your home than when you're

    in your home.



    When air quality tests taken by a mold inspector result in the spore

    counts being higher in your home than outside your home.

  • Is the Dry Fog process safe?

    The chemicals used to create the dry fog are very strong,

    and can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and lungs if you are

    present while they are being used without proper personal

    protective equipment. By the time you're permitted to return

    to your home or business after remediation, there is no danger

    to you or your pets. In fact, doctors refer their patients to us

    because the active ingredients of the chemical in our InstaPURE

    process (hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid) are on the EPA's

    Safer Choice listings. Rest assured that all our staff are trained

    on safety and required to don the appropriate personal

    protective equipment when handling the chemicals used in our

    processes.

  • Will it get behind my walls and ceilings?

    Our patented technology creates a 7.5 micron-sized particle.

    A mold spore is between 4 and 30 microns. Thus, any place

    your average spore can fit, and the fog particle will also fit. In

    special situations where there is a known issue behind a wall

    or in a ceiling and the drywall can be salvaged, we can poke a

    few 1/8 inch holes between the studs to treat inside the wall

    or ceiling cavity.



    Button
  • Do I need to cover up everything in my home?

    No, in fact, you want to keep as many of your belongings in

    the home exposed to the dry fog process. Mold spores get

    trapped inside fabrics, furniture, clothing, mattresses, etc.

    and all of those things should be treated as well.



    When it comes to expensive paintings and wall art, many

    people feel more comfortable taking them down or covering

    them with a blanket. Brass and real silver might oxidize and

    tarnish. You can buff this out afterward, or you may wish to

    cover or remove those items.



    Fruits and other foods can be left out. The chemical used in

    InstaPURE has been FDA-approved for food contact and food

    contact surfaces, but to retain the fresh taste of your produce

    you may want to place it in a zip-lock bag or refrigerator.



    Button
  • Will I need to clean everything after the treatment?

    Not at all. Our process leaves no visible or tangible residue,

    so your home and all items in it will be clean. Normal weekly

    cleaning to maintain a healthy, dust- and debris-free

    environment should continue as usual.



    Button
  • What does the mold look like after the treatment?

    Even though the mold is dead, the stains that the mold has

    created will not go away with the dry fog alone. Its darker

    colors will fade over time, but, we will include the removal

    of visible remains of the mold in our remediation estimate.



    Button
  • How will I know the treatment worked?

    Your technician will take an air sample and other applicable

    sampling methods upon completing the treatment and

    send it to an independent third-party laboratory. We use an

    accredited mold lab that has no affiliation with any mold

    testing or mold remediation companies. About 3-4 business

    days after the treatment, you will receive the lab results via

    email.



    Button
  • How long does the Two Step Process last?

    The products used in the EverPURE process provide a

    verified protection for up to 90 days (3 months). However,

    if all moisture and water issues are resolved and the 

    building remains clean, this is possibly a very permanent

    solution. If necessary, the products may be reapplied

    every three months for continued protection (we

    recommend for high traffic areas) or if odors, mold,

    mildew, or staining appears again.
