Professional Mold Testing in the Rogue Valley Southern Oregon

Fogging is an effective way to remove mold spores that have spread in the air and landed on a variety surfaces inside your home or office building.  Fogging can prevent mold growth by spraying a non-toxic disinfectant into the air. The microscopic droplets penetrate mold spores and destroy their DNA. Dry Fog can be used to disinfect hard-to-reach areas, such as cracks and crevices, and electronic devices. It's also effective against bacteria, viruses, and allergens. 

Surface Mold Cleaning: We recommend a safe and natural solution that can be sprayed on a clean cloth to safely remove surface mold spores on contact.

Mold Abatement and Remediation is the process of stopping the source of water intrusion, removing mold from the structure and contents and encapsulating it. This may include tearing out parts of the building such as drywall and insulation, spraying a mold killer, sealing the area, and restoring the area like new. 

FOGGING WILL NOT REMOVE the root cause of your mold growth, so mold will keep growing back. Fogging will not remove moisture that is in the fibrous materials, trapped inside drywall, soaked into the insulation, or absorbed into the wood. Dry fog will only work on surface, it cannot penetrate hard surfaces such as the spores growing behind tile. Therefore fogging is ineffective and against standards set by ANSI, IICRC, and the EPA, who state that: "attempts to kill, encapsulate or inhibit mold instead of proper source removal generally are not adequate.” 

STEPS TO REMOVE MOLD

• INVESTIGATE the source of moisture intrusion.
• MOLD TEST to determine if and where toxic mold is present.
• REMOVE water damaged and moldy materials. 
• DRY the area with a Dehumidifier or open windows.
• CLEAN or FOG the surface areas that can be salvaged.
• SEAL the area with a stain-blocking sealant.
• CAULK vents, windows, doors, tubs, toilets, and sink areas.
• HVAC FILTERS should be cleaned or replaced regularly.
