Mold/Microbial Remediation |
|
Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been an increasing concern as the public becomes aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health affects and symptoms, including allergic reactions. Mold grows on walls, ceilings and ductwork – often times hiding inside walls. We encourage immediate emergency service for water damage surfaces to inhibit mold growth. But if the damage has already begun, our team of experts can eradicate the problem and minimize further structural damage. Through remediation and the proper testing – we strive to remove and return the structure to normal fungal ecology. Testing is always completed by an Industrial Hygienist and removed by IICRC technicians. Please go to www.iicrc.com for more information and details.

| Infrared Thermography Moisture Detection |
Infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive way to effectively inspect, detect and evaluate moisture intrusion in all types of buildings. Moisture intrusion in a building can cause havoc to the building structure and individuals who live or work in the building. Thermal imaging cameras use sensors to pick up infrared waves and formulate images based upon those waves. The resulting images, properly interpreted can be used to assess areas of potential moisture by evaluating differences in temperature.
Temperature difference caused by evaporation, radiation, thermal bridging, infiltration and other sources must be carefully evaluated. We use this tool to spot suspect areas that are not visible to the naked eye. The use of thermal imagery during a moisture intrusion evaluation is an integral tool that can provide immeidate and meaningful documentation. Infrared thermal imaging can quickly identify what building materials are impacted by the water intrusion and visually show us how far the water migrated. By being able to visually see and locate all problem areas within the building, intelligent decisions can be made by everyone involved in the project. This typically reduces the number of days required to dry the structure.

| Soda Blasting |
What is Soda Blasting?
Soda Blasting is an environmentally friendly way to remove mold,
smoke, paint, dirt, coatings, graffiti, stains and other surface
contaminants that will not cause damage to the surfaces being
cleaned. It is a process that cleans the surface (of any kind) and
are stripped from the substrate (the surface beneath the material
you are trying to remove). The soda blasting machine propels a
bicarbonate-of-soda-based media via water or compressed air onto
the surface to be cleaned. This process gently removes the
material without harming the substrate and can be done wet or dry.
Soda Blasting is a non-abrasive action. The action of sodium
bicarbonate will not cause heat build up, sparks or abrasion to the
surface being cleaned and is non-toxic.
Why was Soda Blasting Developed?
Soda Blasting was developed by New York State engineers looking for
ways to clean and restore the Statue of Liberty. They had many concerns
involving the environment, waste disposal, and protection of the Statue of
Liberty. Use of any abrasive material to clean the surface would have
been harmful to the soft copper plates. Used blast media waste in the
surrounding water was also a concern. Soda blasting was created because
it would not only do the job while having a minimal impact on the waterways
and harbor, but it was also non-abrasive.
Why use Soda Blasting for Smoke Damage Restoration, Graffiti or
Mold Remediation?
Soda blasting has a quicker removal rate. It eliminates the need for using
toxic cleaning chemicals and cleans multilayered surfaces to any level
desired. The technician can move very quickly compared to other methods
of blasting or hand sanding. Soda blasting is not destructive to surfaces and
leaves a like-new appearance.
