What is
fogging? Fogging is the fastest way to
treat products to a large area. Fogging should only be done with products
that are EPA registered for fogging. Fogging is a way to atomize (minute
mist) the chemical application of the product so that it may be delivered
to every part of the targeted area extremely effectively. Attics, crawl
spaces, large rooms or areas, and new construction are ideal for fogging.
Pump spraying may also be an option depending on the application.

"I
developed a very mold crawl space over a 4 year
period. I had no idea that the crawl space had
such a bad mold problem until I went under
there. Water had been leaking for quite some
time from a broken water pipe. I called a mold
professional to come out. He said that the job
would be approx $7400 to fix the crawl space. I
did not have that kind of money to remediate the
problem so I found your website on the Internet. It was the best thing I could have done. I saved
$6,600 using your products and doing the job myself
over a weekend. Through your
help my crawlspace is the best it has ever
looked and smelled. Thanks so much!"

"We had developed a
extremely moldy basement due to improper
drainage around the foundation of our home. So
much so that when we returned form a week of
vacation our basement had been taken over by
black mold. We immediately
called out a mold
remediator and they wanted $24,000.00 to do this
job. With your assistance and products,
we remediated it for less than $1,500.00
including building materials. Thank you!!"

having health effects from the mold growing up
there, and had to do something about it right

professional company out to bid on the job and
it was over $7,300! We could not

BLEACH MOLD MYTH EXPOSED!
Chlorine Bleach (sodium hypochlorite 6%) does not kill mold. Why?
Mold's hyphae (root structures) actually grow into wood and drywall like roots. The hyphae are not killed by bleach because bleach's ion
 structure prevents chlorine from penetrating into porous materials such as dry wall and wood. It stays on the outside surface, whereas mold has protected enzyme roots growing inside the porous construction materials. When you spray porous surface molds with bleach, the water part of the solution soaks into the wood while the bleach chemical sits atop the surface, gasses off, and thus only partially kills the surface layer of mold while the water penetration of the building materials fosters further mold growth.
Chlorine bleach causes long term breakdown of wood products like studs, sheathing, plywood, OSB, and other building materials over time.
DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR
IT!
READ THIS:
Here is an example of why bleach does
not kill mold
Have you ever used
bleach or products like Tilex® to clean mold or mildew out of grout in a tiled
shower?
If so, you would notice that it
does a great job getting the "mold stains" off the grout, however 1-2 weeks
later, the mold is back again....Why?
The ionic structure of bleach does not allow it to get to the roots and kill the
mold and mildew. The mold is just being "bleached out" and the roots remain
intact. Thereby
allowing the mold to return 1-2 weeks later, stronger than ever.
How do I kill the mold then?
Use an EPA registered
fungicide to kill the mold at the roots.
Chlorine Bleach is NOT a registered EPA mold killing product.
You can verify it yourself when you are unable to find an EPA registration number for killing mold on the label of any brand of chlorine bleach. Why not? Because it is not effective at killing mold as other EPA approved chemicals.
University Study Discovers Bleach is Ineffective at Killing Mold on Wood and Other Porous Surfaces
"While bleach is often recommended for remediation of surface mold on wood and other porous surfaces, our [university research study] study results illustrate that the treatment does not eliminate the surface microflora," is the conclusion of the Oregon State University study of the effects of chlorine bleach on mold growth on Douglas fir wood [an important timber crop in the state of Oregon]. The research study was conducted by Professor Jeffrey Morrell, Dept. of Wood Science, Oregon State University, as assisted by Adam Taylor [graduate research assistant] and Camille Freitag [Senior Research Associate], as published in Forest Products Journal, 54:4, 2004.

What does the EPA have to say about using bleach to kill mold? "The use of chlorine bleach is not recommended as a routine practice during mold cleanup." from the www.epa.gov website |
MOLD CLEANUP 101
Before starting to cut out drywall or treat the affected areas, have all your materials ready to do it right the first time. You and your families health is worth the extra effort and expense.
- When handling or cleaning moldy materials, wear protective gloves, eye goggles, an P-100 or better rated respirator, and dress in long sleeves and pants that can be easily removed in the work area and laundered. You may want to purchase a Tyvek suit to better eliminate mold spores from migration to other areas of the house/building.
- Minimize exposure to mold spores by using a respirator designed for particle removal for protection against inhaling mold spores. Respirators can be purchased from hardware stores.
- Make sure the room is properly ventilated while you are cleaning.
- Make sure you prevent the spores and mold-contaminated dust from going into other parts of your home by hanging plastic sheeting to separate the area. Use polyethylene sheeting ceiling to floor around affected area with a slit entry and covering flap, and maintain the area under negative pressure with HEPA filtered fan unit. Also, block supply and return air vents within the containment area.
- NEVER USE BLEACH TO CLEAN UP MOLD - It is a known fact that bleach does not kill mold. Mold's hyphae (root structures) actually grow into wood and drywall like roots. The hyphae are not killed by bleach because bleach's ion structure prevents chlorine from penetrating into porous materials such as dry wall, concreted, and wood. It stays on the outside surface, whereas mold has protected enzyme roots growing inside the porous construction materials. When you spray porous surface molds with bleach, the water part of the solution soaks into the wood while the bleach chemical sits atop the surface, gasses off, and thus only partially kills the surface layer of mold while the water penetration of the building materials fosters further mold growth.
- Bleach also destroys the very wood that is holding up your home.
- Microscopic mold spores may be present in your environment and you may not know it.
- Remove all affected drywall, ceiling tiles, carpet, rugs, and any other building materials affected with mold into plastic trash bags sealing them completely.
- Allow the areas to completely dry using a dehumidifier. If the areas are not 100% dry, the mold may return.
- USE AN EPA APPROVED FUNGICIDE - Such to kill the mold. Follow the instructions completely.
- Place the moldy items, cleaning rags and anything else that comes in contact with the mold in airtight plastic trash bags. Seal the bags before disposing of them.
- When you finish cleaning, immediately wash the clothing you were wearing.
- After the mold is dead (from 2 treatments) then you can use a fungicidal sealant to seal in the dead mold areas. This will provide long term fungicidal activity and deter growth for 2-5 years depending on the conditions in your crawlspace.

Top Most Common and Deadly Molds
 Stachybotrys chartarum
 Stachybotrys chartarum is cosmopolitan and grows
naturally on straw and other cellulose containing materials in soil. In
the indoor environment, this mold is commonly found together with Stachybotrys chlorohalonata on cellulose containing materials
including paper, canvas and jute which are wetted to a water activity >
0.98. In a study conducted in Denmark, Stachybotrys chartarum was
found to produce a number of mycotoxins inclduding macrocyclic
trichothecenes, satratoxins and roridins when growing on building
materials. 35% of the isolates from buildings produce SUPER TOXIC
cytotoxic mycotoxins, the satratoxins. This led to the conclusion that
idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis in infants is possibly not caused by
satratoxins but by other S. chartarum mycotoxins.The optimum
temperature for growth for Stachybotrys chartarum is 23 oC with a minimum and maximum
temperature of 2 and 37 oC respectively.
Aspergillus flavus
Aspergillus
flavus is widely distributed in soil. It is associated with a wide
range of stored products such as maize and nuts. In indoor environment it is commonly found on damp
walls, wallpaper, floor and carpet dust, tarred wooden flooring,
humidifiers and HVAC fans, bakeries, shoes, leather, and bird droppings.
Strains of this mold may produce aflatoxin, a class 1
carcinogen.The minimum and
maximum temperature for growth are 6 and 45 oC, with an optimum
at 40 oC. The minimum water activity is 0.78 and an optimum at
0.98. Only testing and analysis will allow you to be sure what
strain and type of mold you are dealing with.
