Great day back in NorCal to help our clients😄

This new study from Georgia Tech is worth a read!
This affirms our decision to only recommend air purifiers with HEPA filtration.
Please just say no to any form of processes utilizing UV light or any other non-mechanical processes that are marketed to 'kill' things in the air and on surfaces.
A lot more study needs to be done in this area, and I'm looking forward to learning more.

We use an electrostatic sprayer to apply disinfectant as part of the final cleaning process at the end of mold remediation projects. We're looking forward to hear what the EPA has to say about it after their study🤓

Amazing Review from Debbie! 🙏
Don't waste your money on mold inspectors who are overly reliant on traditional air sampling or dust sampling without actually inspecting the home.
We're the only company in California offering whole house mold exposure assessments, providing you with a holistic picture of your mold exposure at home.

One more certification under the belt that gives us knowledge on handling larger commercial water damage at gymnasiums, large department stores, convention centers, etc.

Be careful of companies pushing any UV or ionization technology to 'clean' the air.

We only recommend HEPA air filtration devices. You may add carbon filter, in addition to HEPA, to help with odor. There is no need for any other bells and whistles.

Mold affects everybody differently and not everybody is genetically susceptible to adverse reactions from mold. However, it is a common thread that people who are adversely affected by mold had to go through quite an ordeal of misdiagnosis and treatments before they find out that mold is the culprit😥
