MOLD
MOLD REMOVAL
INFORMATION by Cleanfax Magazine:
By use of a mold redemption plan, and an
ozone generator, mold growth can be inhibited. In all cases the moisture and
humidity in the walls, mold impregnated materials, floors, etc., must first be removed for
effective elimination of the problem mold and odor. Once moisture is removed, all
visible mold and mildew should be removed, then a shock treatment procedure can be
preformed lasting for 24-72 hrs. Removing the visible mold, disinfecting of surfaces
with ozone, and the reduction of moisture are just about the only way to remediate a mold
problem.
-
Ozone curbs the ability for exposed mold,
mildew or fungus to reproduce.
-
Ozone purifies the air and can reduce
respiratory distress!
-
Ozone works 3187 times
quicker than chlorine as a germicide; superior to chlorine!
-
Ozone is the most
powerful oxidant available for commercial air, & water treatment.
-
Ozone controls odors by killing the mold
and fungus.
Many believe that if the mold is dried and
removed the danger is over. Mold usually harbors in crevices and in materials that are
porous where they can re-grow. Dried mold particles become airborne and can be breathed in
from basements through ventilation systems and inside walls. Breathing in these spores can
cause respiratory damage that may be permanent. Ozone, at shock treatment levels will kill
mold spores and obstruct future growth. If you can smell mold, usually there is mold, or
air-borne mold spores. Negative Ion generators are not capable of killing or eliminate
mold spores or germs.
MOLD TREATMENT:
Moisture and humidity in the walls, floors,
etc., must first be removed to permanently and effectively eliminate the problem mold and
odor. It is often necessary to remove materials such as wallboard or other
mold-impregnated materials that are permanently damaged by mold. These
"mold-impregnated" materials can not be salvaged because mold spores can be
trapped in these materials and will grow quickly in the presence of high
humidity or moisture. Once moisture is
removed, all visible mold and mildew should be removed, then an ozone shock treatment procedure
can be preformed to kill all residual mold and mold spores; eliminating their
possibility of reproduction by oxidization. Professionals in the
remediation industry will use ozone shock treatments lasting 24-72 hrs.
Ozone is very effective at killing the residual unseen mold. With periodic ozone
shock treatments, severe mold problems can be stopped. For re-occurring moisture problems,
periodic shock treatments will control and eliminate the growth and spread of molds.
|
Using just an ozone generator to
remediate mold can work in some situations, or at least control the growth and make an
area habitable with periodic shock treatments, but for permanent results, moisture and
humidity in the walls, mold impregnated materials, floors, etc., must first be removed
for most situations.
Keep in mind that ozone can only
kill mold that it can get to - so mold trapped behind sealed walls can not be killed
without opening or replacing the wallboard or materials that are sealing the problem. |
The recommendations we give are very conservative and designed for professionals in the
mold redemption, fire & flood restoration, and odor removal businesses. When charging for
a service in these professions, companies cannot afford to have to come back to retreat,
or re-initiate the application. This is the reason for our conservative recommendations.
It is fairly common for some companies to advertise and recommend the size an ozone
generator with only square footage ratings for general air purification results in mind,
rather than actual levels needed for germ killing with
shock treatments. There appears to be some
misleading representation of ratings (usually square footage ratings) and how much ozone
will be needed for a particular application in this industry. Since sizing an ozone
generator is dependant on several factors, we try to avoid giving unqualified square
footage ratings. Square footage ratings must also disclose whether they are for
air purification,
or for
shock treatments, as the mghr. output
recommendations will be vastly different.
Why
are UV ozone generators a better choice than corona discharge ozone generators?
(For all air or surface sterilization
Shock treatment applications such as
MOLD, Smoke, Fire odors, musty smells, flood odor,
protein decomposition odor, germ and virus remediation, etc.)
The Biggest difference between corona discharge and UV ozone generation methods
is that UV ozone generators have stable ozone output levels throughout humidity
ranges, while the output of corona discharge ozone generators is
significantly reduced by just moderate humidity levels such as 40–70% (ozone
output is reduced by approx. 40-70% with 40-70% humidity). In addition, with UV
ozone generators, the cleaning
requirement is almost eliminated compared to corona discharge ozone generators.
Also, the ozone produced from a UV ozone generator is cleaner (no nitric acids)
and smells better than ozone produced from corona discharge machines, and is
just as powerful and often more powerful as ozone produced by corona discharge
ozone generators.
UV models include
UV PRO 550,
UV PRO 550AT, UV PRO 1100AT,
UV PRO 2800,
UV PRO 4000,
and
UV PRO 6800
| If you need an ozone generator with adjustable
ozone output, two new models, the UV PRO 550AT or UV
PRO 1100AT are ideal. The "AT" stands for Adjustable with 48 hour
Timer. These models produce the cleanest and sweetest ozone ever
possible - adjustable down to very low levels or high levels for shock
treatments and are much more dependable than corona models on the
market! Please call 866-225-3858 for information or to purchase. |

Mold Treatment
EXAMPLE:
After removing or replacing wet or moldy
materials, and when the other steps have been properly taken as referred to above, it is
time to use ozone. The
UV PRO 2800 has plenty of power for a 1,200 sq. ft. basement
with heavy mold odors. For mold, we recommend the treatment time to be no less than
14-16 hours even though results may sometimes be accomplished in 8 - 12 hours. More time
is usually better, even 1 to 3 full days of treatment is certainly not too much and
is recommended for severe problems. (Keep in mind that professional mold remediation
companies will usually treat for 2 - 3 full days after proper mold remediation steps are
taken.)
The
UV PRO 2800 will also do an effective job in this sized area if the preliminary mold
removal steps are taken, and more time is given for ozone to do its job, or if your
intention is to control the mold growth with periodic treatments. We have customers
treating this sized area with
the UV PRO 1100 or
UV PRO 2800
with excellent results, Recommend products include the PRO 5000,
PRO
9,000,
UV PRO 2800,
UV PRO 4000,
or
UV PRO
6800 for ensured results or professional application or
where time is a factor.
Advanced, Dependable High Volume Component Systems For Fire & Mold Restoration
Companies:
An ideal high volume
mobile setup for mold and odor applications will run on an oxygen concentrator,
usually sized to put out 80,000mghr - 120,000mghr This type of setup allows a smoke or mold
redemption company to treat a 5,000 sq. ft. home in approx. 40 minutes very effectively.
A new alternative to this heavy equipment is to purchase several of the
UV PRO 4000
and now also the
NEW!
High powered
UV PRO 6800 model Ozone Generators as there are several advantages.
Ozone really works when the equipment
meets or exceeds the application. Remediation companies commonly make
capital equipment investments by purchasing Ozone Generators.
|
Advantages of
the new UV PRO 4000 and
UV PRO 6800 include:
-The industry's best warranty and service with 6 full years
-size output to your needs -
purchase several
UV PRO 4000
or
UV PRO 6800 units to get the desired output and treatment times.
-Expandability - you are not limited to a particular output.
Several units can be used to achieve
outputs required for small or large treatment areas.
-Transported much more easily that large
100-400+ pound ozone systems
-If a service or maintenance issue were
to arise, with multiple units, you are not "out of business for repair", instead, only the
capacity may temporarily be reduced for a maintenance issue.
-Space saving and installation
versatility is maximized with individual units
