An Earth-friendly Mold Removal Method
April 1, 2009
There are plenty of mold removal companies listed in the phonebook and online. These companies use different methods of mold removal but the most common method used is using chemicals to kill the molds. There are various types of chemicals used in this process. Some of them are not exactly earth-friendly or safe to human health. This is why some chemicals used by some mold removal companies are not allowed in certain states.
One technology used in mold removal that is guaranteed safe for the environment and human health is the use of heat. One company uses the patented technology called Thermapureheat. Thermapureheat raises the temperature in areas of the home affected by molds to kill the molds. The process is clean and odorless and can kill not just molds but also bed bugs, dust mites, bacteria and other microorganisms. The reason this process if earth-friendly is because it does not use chemicals that are harmful to the environment.
Using heat to kill bacteria and other microorganisms is not entirely a new concept. Using heat to kill microorganisms has been around for a long time and is the same concept discovered by Louis Pasteur in the 1860s.
Different types of molds and other microorganisms die at specific temperatures and specific length of exposure to the temperature. There are molds that die at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. There are molds that die between 145 degrees Fahrenheit and 150 Fahrenheit. Wood fungi die at 151 degrees Fahrenheit. Other organisms that can die from heat are viruses like E.Coli, Anthrax, Smallpox and other hazardous bacteria. Thermapureheat can also be used to kill flour beetle, adult German cockroach, dry wood termite nymphs and argentine ants. The technicians will evaluate the types of molds and microorganisms present in your home and apply the necessary heat at the duration by which the specific temperature should be applied.
This mold removal method is not just used during water damage restoration but can also be used to treat whole structures such as hotels, school buildings and other infrastructures where there may be hidden mold and microorganisms.
The process allows the contractor to kill microorganisms without the need to remove furnishings and other items from the room/building. This can definitely save homeowners and building administrators time and money. The method is considered as pasteurization of buildings and is one of the safest methods for mold removal. The best thing about this mold removal technology is how homeowners, tenants, and guests can use the room/building right after the procedure. There is no need to wait for mold removal chemicals to dissipate.
