Services
Mold Remediation
Our oxidative remediation process eliminates mold at its biological root, using EPA-registered solutions that denature fungal proteins without toxic residues. This method penetrates porous surfaces for complete decontamination, reducing allergenic potential by 50% compared to traditional approaches. We combine thermal imaging diagnostics with biostatic coatings to prevent regrowth, ensuring air quality improvements validated by third-party lab testing.
Water Damage Restoration
24/7 emergency response includes water extraction, structural drying with industrial dehumidifiers, and antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold. Our technicians use moisture meters and thermal cameras to identify hidden saturation, restoring properties to pre-loss condition while documenting all work for insurance claims. Preventative measures include sump pump installation and gutter maintenance programs.
Electrostatic Sanitization
EPA-registered electrostatic sprayers apply antimicrobial solutions that bond to surfaces, providing 30-year protection against pathogens. This technology achieves 360-degree coverage on complex surfaces, killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria including SARS-CoV-2. Ideal for schools, healthcare facilities, and commercial spaces requiring sustained hygiene protection without harsh chemical exposure.
Fire Damage Repair
Comprehensive fire restoration includes soot removal, odor elimination with thermal fogging, and structural repairs. Our IICRC-certified team coordinates with insurance providers to document damage scope, employing HEPA filtration systems to purify air quality. We salvage water-damaged materials and rebuild structures using mold-resistant construction practices.
Mold Inspection
Certified inspectors use air sampling, moisture mapping, and microscopy to identify mold species and contamination sources. Detailed reports include photographic documentation and laboratory analysis of spore types. We diagnose hidden moisture issues through infrared thermography, providing remediation plans that address both visible mold and underlying structural vulnerabilities.
