Remediation, eliminating the health effects of mold and its toxins., is the most crucial thing we do. We stand firm in our belief that no other company can rival our effectiveness in accomplishing this. This confidence stems from protocols and proprietary technology unparalleled in the industry.
There are three basic opinions regarding what "mold remediation" means; each varying in terms of the services provided and the associated costs.
The Broadest Interpretation: As per the Oxford Dictionary, remediation involves the action of rectifying something, especially reversing or stopping environmental damage. This wide definition includes mold inspection, testing, removal, and disinfection, extending to even the "rectifying" tasks performed by plumbers, roofers, or other non-remediation professionals. For the broadest definition, all of these would be included as part of the remediation process.
The Middleground Interpretation: The term "mold remediation" commonly encompasses a comprehensive process addressing both visible and health-related effects of mold. It includes all services we provide: inspection, moisture detection, demolition, removal of affected materials and furnishings, air scrubbing, and minor reconstruction. While "mold removal," "mold restoration," and "mold abatement" may often be used interchangeably with "mold remediation," they are components of the remediation process rather than exact synonyms.
Narrowest and Most Prevalent Interpretation: This pertains to all mold-related remediation tasks executed prior to reconstruction and after resolving moisture issues and conducting inspection and testing.
In almost all mold jobs, it's crucial to first engage a plumber, roofer, or HVAC company; whichever is necessary to rectify the moisture issues leading to mold growth at your property. After our services are rendered, customers typically need a remodeling or construction firm to rebuild any building materials that were removed. This can be handled by our sister company "Legacy Renovations" or by any other remodeling company.
We often advocate for our clients to hire an independent mold inspection company. However in many cases this is unnecessary, with a few exceptions.
To evaluate your current situation and assess the quality of our work, we always rely on a third-party lab to analyze any collected air or mold samples.
IN SUMMARY: Mold remediation is rarely the sole responsibility of one entity or expert. The third definition proves to be the most precise as it outlines realistic expectations of the services offered by a remediation company. Although we offer testing, inspection, and reconstruction services, many Florida remediation firms do not include inspections and testing or any reconstruction in their scope of services.
The primary concern when selecting the best mold remediation company should be who does the bost job at eliminating the negative health effects of mold and its mycotoxins? Here are three factors that will help with an evaluation....
The Capacity of the provider to treat the indoor air and reach sufficient surface area.
The efficacy of the disinfectants used by your provider. Are the chemicals or other methods registered by the EPA to eliminate the specific types of mold found in your home, and if so: do they ensure the manufacturer's required dwell times are met?
Does the chosen remediation method not only kill living mold, but neutralize (denature) the effects of dead mold and its toxins?
No perfect solution exists, but ensuring the professional service you select is cognizant of these three items, should assure you that you are making a good choice to achieve the healthiest outcomes for all occupants including pets.
Here are a few of the available methods that you might run into during your research. UV Light and Ozone are rare, which is why the only category we have broken down is "liquid disinfectants."
Ultraviolet is effective at killing mold but is limited in that it can only kill where it shines. Getting under and in-and-around things is what undermines its utility. While effective for those areas it reaches, this factor makes UV disinfection impractical for mold remediation projects.
At just 0.0001272 micrometers, an ozone molecules exhibit remarkable efficiency in mold eradication, reaching even the most inaccessible areas. Moreover, the affordability of an ozone machines is attractive, particularly for the DIY enthusiasts. Ozone would appear to be the clear winner. However, there's a catch...
“Available scientific evidence shows that at concentrations that do not exceed public health standards, ozone has little potential to remove indoor air contaminants.” - EPA.gov
Using ozone would be akin to taking a pill whose side effects are greater than its benefits.
This leaves us with liquid disinfectants. The clear choice, if the right application is used.
In a high humidity region like Orlando, Florida, using sprays or mists for mold remediation might not yield optimal results. The larger droplets these methods produce often fail to reach hard-to-reach areas, rendering them less effective. Additionally, liquid solutions, such as those containing bleach, are mainly water-based and may inadvertently intensify mold problems. As an alternative, consider methods such as wiping surfaces with disinfectant wipes or soaps, which provide extended dwell time, hence, achieving better results against spores in hard-to-reach areas of your home.
Although fogging machines proficiently moisten visible objects with tiny droplets, their effectiveness is limited due to droplet size when compared to the dry fog alternative we provide to Orlando, Florida residents and businesses.
Dry fog application from Pure Maintenance offers an unparalleled mold remediation solution. It meticulously eliminates mold from every hidden corner and visible surface indoors, without wetting surfaces. Its significantly smaller droplet size ensures it reaches and neutralizes mold wherever it hides, providing extended dwell time on both hidden and visible areas and neutralizing airborne mycotoxins. While ozone may provide superior outcomes in some circumstances, dry fog eliminates the associated toxicity risk, making it the undisputed champion of mold remediation options.
When people find or suspect black mold at their properties, they choose Pure Maintenance because they can't get our patented dry fog process anywhere else.
We offer all the services that aconventional remediation and water damage restoration company might offer.... and more. We are the exclusive licensed mold remediation service provider in our eleven counties in Florida that offers a patented, eco-friendly dry fog system employing a hospital-grade sterilant and an FDA-registered antimicrobial. Available nowhere else.
Our approach is simultaneously more effective, quicker, safer, and cost-efficient. As a result, Pure Maintenance has seen rapid growth, growing to over a hundred locations nationwide with more than 30,000 satisfied customers in less than three years.
We invite you to request an estimate and compare. See for yourself. We have saved our commercial clients tens of thousands, while our residential customers on some large projects have saved thousands too!
Our mold remediation technique is at least 10 times, often 100 times, and in some cases 1000 times more effective than the procedures implemented by other companies in the field. This is possible because the size of our Dry Fog particles is smaller than a mold spore, reaching any space a mold spores can. This includes individual strands of fiber in carpet and curtains. Penetrating into the texture of furniture, and the grain of wood - places that liquids simply can't access without doing more harm than good.
Does this seem too good to be true?
Consider a 2000 square foot home with 20 square feet of black mold. Traditional mold removal quarantines and treats the immediate and surrounding area around the black mold, perhaps totaling 100 square feet. We do the same.
However, what sets us apart is we ensure that our dry fog reaches every surface of every item in your home - not just a ~100 square foot area, but the entire volume of air and every surface within your home or business. This includes treating all your belongings! For a 2,000 foot home, we easily treat more than 10,000 square feet of surface area... and treat it twice! First, with our hospital-grade cold sterilant, followed by a preventative antimicrobial treatment which provides 90 days of ongoing "cleaning" and prevention.
10,000 square feet divided by 100 square feet = 100. Hence our claim that we are 100 times more effective.
Why does this comprehensive approach matter? Florida is very humid, which means mold spores can take hold and grow very easily indoors. Mold spores and their mycotoxins travel by air and spread as rapidly through a home as air does. By using Pure Maintenance, you eliminate the risk of leaving a stone unturned. A total home cleanse brings your home to a level of cleanliness that will surpass any prior level in its history.... when defining cleanliness by mold spore, virus and bacteria count.
Your health will notice the difference. There is simply no comparison anywhere else in the market!
Hiring an independent inspection-only company can on average cost $600 for air samples, lab analysis and a report. While doing this can save you thousands of dollars, and even provide health-affirming information, there are instances where it is simply a waste of $600. During our first visit, we provide you the information you need to make the best decision, with one benefit being, leaving more money in your pocket.
Another, perhaps bigger opportunity for cost savings comes from our patented protocol which can reduce the material costs associated with demolition, reconstruction and all the associated labor. One simple example is an army base where two buildings were slated to be completely demolished because the mold infestation was felt to be beyond repair. Our protocol saved those two buildings, and thereby easily saved tens of thousands of dollars.
Another way to potentially save, is to have your propery insurance pay for some and possibly all of the mold damage. If you want to look into this option, we can connect you with one of our trusted public adjusters, whose job is to maximize the payout you deserve from your insurance company.
The last way we have delivered cost savings, is in instances where professional mold remediation from our company is clearly overkill, we have helped home owners by providing them with a simple protocol they can implement to take care of a small mold issue.
Advocating or our clients by putting ourselves in their shoes is one more we strive to your absolute best option for mold remediation and water damage restoration.
