Houston Mold Remediation

Individual mold spores are flowing throughout the open air at all times. When we breathe in a small amount of spores outdoors, they are combined with such a large portion of fresh air that they rarely have a strong effect. However, oftentimes in the spring, outdoor mold counts increase and do create outdoor allergies. Indoors, when moisture is allowed to dwell on a porous surface inside a building, these mold spores attach themselves and begin to grow at a rapid pace. Once these spores have attached, it takes much more than household cleaners to break their stronghold.

NO! This is a common misconception. Bleach will cause the mold spores to lose their color and appear to be gone, however; the spores will not die. They will continue to grow without color and using a liquid bleach can even increase the speed at which they grow because of the added moisture and humidity.

YES! While deadly to mold, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens, the EPA-registered products we use in our process are non-toxic and pet-safe. Mold is not only dangerous to you, but also for your pets. Read our articles about mold poisoning in dogs and symptoms of mold exposure.

The short answer is yes. The genius behind dry fogging for mold removal is that we aerosolize our sterilant into a vapor that prevents spores from escaping. This vapor is made of tiny particles that bounce around the room until they come in contact with a mold spore or pathogen.

Dry Fogging for mold removal is used primarily because these tiny particles don’t wet any surface they come in contact with. This means that you’re not introducing additional moisture into an already damp, mold-infested area. It also means that nothing in your home or office is damaged in the process. The dry fog is able to penetrate behind walls and areas where cleaning equipment can’t reach.

Good news!  The average dry fog project is typically 30-50% less expensive than traditional mold remediation.

If all moisture and water issues are resolved, this is a very long-term solution. With minor water issues like humidity or condensation on windows, we’ve done tests over five years after treatment that indicate no mold growth.

Our dry fog process treats the entire indoor living space. The HVAC ductwork is also treated for mold removal. If there are concerns about mold in wall cavities, we just insert a small hole and inject fog into the wall cavity.

The Pure Maintenance patent-protected technology has been used to treat thousands of homes around the country. We knew we had to bring this service to the Fort Bend county area after the process finally gave us back our home more than three years after Hurricane Harvey.

The home will need to be vacant during the dry fog process, so plan a place for you and your pets to be during the services. You will receive a message a few days prior to your service that will confirm your appointment and give basic instructions on how to prepare your home. They are simple things like open all closets, close all windows, etc.
