Heat and Mold

Mold (fungi) spores are present virtually everywhere - indoors and outdoors. The exposure to mold and the bacteria that can live with it has been linked to numerous health problems such as cough, congestion, eye or sinus irritation, rashes, headaches, and the aggravation of asthma, depending upon the amount of exposure and a person's individual vulnerability.

The PureHeat process is a patented new technology that utilizes clean, dry, odorless heat to create an environment that is lethal to the targeted organism. We deploy this process for the disinfection of structures, enclosable areas, and objects, such as mail or household items.

Should you suspect that you have a mold problem, there are 4 things that may need to be removed to restore healthy indoor air quality:

1. Moisture or Water Intrusion. Most mold growth results from abnormally high levels of indoor moisture.
2. Mold Growth. The physical removal of any accessible colonies, and the killing of inaccessible mold and spores are necessary for complete remediation.
3. Bacterial Contamination. Bacteria are often found living on wet building materials along with mold and must be eliminated.
4. Insect Infestations. Certain mold spores can cling to insects as they walk through mold growth. Insects thrive in damp areas and will spread the mold spores within a building.

What To Do First:

Your first call is very important.

1. Have mold testing done by a Qualified Mold Consultant. A professional consultant may save you thousands in unneeded work. Your report should indicate the source of the water intrusion, determine the extent and type of contamination, and describe the remediation work required.
2. Stop the Moisture Intrusion. Follow the recommendations of your consultant to remove the source of moisture. This must be done or the mold may return.
3. Disinfect your building of Mold. Traditional mold clean-up will not kill bacteria and insects. Insist on the most advanced and thorough method of remediation possible…
