Bleach Wont Remove Mold

Bleach Won't Remove Mold

When it comes to protecting your investments and family from the damaging effects of mold, you need someone that you can trust. Someone who has been in business for nearly 30 years. A contractor that won’t mislead you, but just be honest and professional. You need someone who will take the time to do it right the first time. We’re committed to excellence and nothing less. When you call us to help you with a mold problem, we’ll give you the answers you need and put your mind at ease.

Here’s what you can expect when you give us a call.

a) Speak with a knowledgeable representative who will listen to your concerns and offer sincere suggestions.

b) We will come and inspect the home or property in question. A knowledgeable representative will meet with you and conduct a thorough investigation of the contaminated areas. He will then explain what options you may have in appropriately resolving the problem.

Here’s what to expect when you hire us to conduct a mold mitigation.

1. On the scheduled day of mitigation, you will meet with a knowledgeable, experienced, and courteous crew that will safely complete the removal and disposal of contaminated materials.

2. A complete detail-clean will then be conducted to assure the best possible results.

3. Once the cleanup process is complete, an air sample will be taken in the contained cleanup area.

4. The sample is analyzed by a third-party lab and a detailed report of the results is built.

5. We receive the report, call you to discuss the results, and then provide you with a copy of the report as proof of a successful completion of the work.

After the air sample reports a clean and safe environment, restoration can begin. Here’s what to expect.

Step 1 – We will replace building materials (framing, insulation, drywall & texture), first.

Step 2 – Finish materials such as cabinetry items, flooring, trim and paint will be done next.

Step 3 – After a final walk through with us,  enjoy your newly restored property.

Give us a call. We take the time to do it right the first time, every time!

why Bleach won’t Work

1. Short Kill Time – Chlorine will flash and not have a long contact time. A longer contact time is needed when it comes to the stronger strains of bacteria and fungi found in buildings. Some bacteria and fungi need a minimum of thirty minutes of contact time to be eliminated.

2.Evaporation – Chlorine bleach will evaporate within a short period of time. If the area is not dry when the bleach evaporates, or moisture is still in the contaminated area (humidity, outside air dampness), you could start the contamination process immediately and to a greater degree.

3.Corrosion – Chlorine will accelerate the deterioration of the material and wear down the fibers. Replacement of the effected material will be premature.

4.Off-Gassing – Chlorine bleach off gasses for a period of time. Chlorine off gassing can be harmful to some people. It has been known to cause pulmonary embolisms in low resistance and susceptible people.

5.Bleach is 99% water – Water is one of the main contributors to the growth of harmful bacteria and mold. Using bleach will cause mold and bacteria to re-grow and regenerate with twice the colony forming unit counts than were originally found. Not only does bleach promote further mold growth, the stronger strains of mold now associated within the Indoor Air Quality issue are resistant to bleach.

6. Bleach has no wetting ability on porous surfaces – Porous surfaces are where the majority of the stronger strains of contamination are found. Bleach does not have the capability to penetrate the fibers or the pores of building materials to remove the contamination.
