Indoor mold colonies buildup can degrade building materials to the point of collapse, and mold spores widespread is considered a biohazard. All authorities concur, their speedy control is paramount.
Traditional vial or active mold management is laden with technical burdens and limitations that often cause accidental worker’s harmful exposure, which may be disastrous to a vendor’s bottom line, and if a site occupant is also exposed, the vendor is liable for it as well. Some factors include, but are not limited to:
1) Indoor ambient disturbances can blast mold spores throughout the entire site, boosting potential infections elsewhere and exposure health risk factors many times fold,
3) Containment barriers and ambient control equipment minimize rather than resolve an existing mold infection or spore’s spread.
3) Per US EPA definition, regular sanitizers or biocides reduce rather than eliminate biological agents, and disinfectants work only on specific species. US EPA also states that dead and dormant mold spores retain their infectious properties, and any moisture or humidity on site brings them back to life.
The safest approach to eliminating all indoor microbial infections is a medical countermeasure that resolves any critical bio-burden by sterilizing the whole facility beforehand. This allows fast, safe & liability-free access to site workers to begin corrective work at ease, and the US EPA link above categorically defines why the use of sterilants like VHP is the undisputable way to go.
We render All Organic Microbials Inert by flooding the entire indoor environment with medical grade gaseous or vaporized sterilants that are selected or combined based on the situation at hand. We use nitrogen dioxide, Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide, ozone and peracetic acid to name a few, all of which easily penetrate hidden areas, porous materials & crevices crushing microbial’s DNA structure throughout the entire subject site.
Steris, our equipment’s supplier since 1998, May Help You Visualize How VHP Works.
Microbial growth circumstances are unique in many ways, and in many cases the above described task may be all that’s required on your end.
Therefore, and for our client’s convenience, we offer full-site or specific areas custom mold & odors abatement as a stand alone service.
Once the target indoor environment is temporarily rendered sterile, we proceed with damaged materials removal, thorough work area cleanup and dry-out, resolve infection sources as required, make sure that everything is as clean and dry per current guidelines, and finally restore material damage, should the client choose to hire us for it as well.
When compared to risky, labor-intensive & scandalous traditional live or active mold remediation methods as depicted to your left, biosafety makes sense. When an entire indoor environment is temporarily made microbials-free beforehand, sources correction, damage cleanup and repairs become just regular maintenance tasks, which can be up to 40% less expensive. Our approach technique effectively eliminate worker’s exposure health risks or liability and expedite remedial processes, which means restoring pre-occurrence conditions at the outmost safety and cost efficiency.
Our services are EPA, OSHA & AMA compliant, our detoxification technology and product’s credentials are second to none, and simply put, there’s nothing better that anyone could offer in this field. For insurance-covered perils, our indirect billing is accepted by all carriers and best of all, microbial exposure risk factors can be wiped out of the equation in 3 hours or less.
100%. We guarantee that any assigned microbials-laden site and/or area thereof will be:
(1) Brought back to normal or clearance condition as per current Federal guidelines *
(2) Free of gross filth, water-damaged items or substrates, heavy soil, foul or musty odors,
(3) Will successfully pass Third Party Clearance Testing within 10 days of treatment, and
(4) Improved conditions will remain like so as long as the problem source is fixed to code.
Except for small (~3’X3′ or less in size) infections, which should be resolved by traditional guidelines, microbials removal is not a job for the average handyman. Licensed contractors (plumbers, painters, HVAC technicians, etc.) are by law required to stop all work and request clients to contact a licensed professional upon discovering microbial growth indoors. If not, they’re liable for it.
Applied biosafety is the knowledge and skill necessary to identify, isolate and/or manipulate pathogenic microorganisms. Biosafety professionals master the principles of epidemiology, disease transmission patterns, risk management, disinfection and sterilization, aerobiology and environmental control systems engineering to reduce or eliminate the potential for adverse environmental impact from infectious agents or biologically derived materials.
The American Biological Safety Association (ABSA) is a recognized applied biosafety institution that works in alliance with OSHA. ABSA focuses primarily on biological safety in the workplace, emerging biological safety issues, and methods to address those issues. Aalpha Services’ owner is a certified biosafety specialist & senior member of ABSA.
We respect all properly licensed and honest competition, not “the other guys”. Educated consumers screen out seemingly competent vendors by checking out their licensing, seniority on the field & technical capabilities, and not just customer reviews. Mold scammers can look like a Million bucks on the internet, and there are plenty of them lurking in there using ill-tactics such as scary health issues and fake reviews.
What advertising claims are true, and which ones are false?
FACT: It is well-proven that addressing indoor contamination does, in fact, relieve site occupants from further risks from microbials exposure, and property and work site managers from liabilities that may be associated to it.
Also, microbials removal prevents further material loss, restores a subject site’s sound, resilient and desirable status and most importantly, it delivers indoor ambient comfort, which has been clinically shown to induce on site occupant’s a sense of wellbeing, and thus promoting healthier living or soothing lifestyle, and even to enhance productivity & morale in work settings.
SCAM: There is no scientific evidence to date that would remotely suggest that addressing indoor contaminants may improve or reverse any site occupant’s health issue. Do not hire mold remediators that make sweeping claims about the health benefits of odors or mold removal to promote their services. Mold servicemen are not doctors.
Avoid hiring firms that falsely claim to deliver “Mold-Free” homes or buildings, which affirms their lack of respect to you as a customer. It is naturally impossible to deliver microbials-free common use indoor environments for any extended period, and no one can actually live normally therein under such condition.
Per DBPR regulations, only licensed mold assessors or remediators are permitted to conduct on-site mold services, including free inspections. Certified-only technicians have no legal authority whatsoever to manage or evaluate indoor air quality or any type of mold issue, or even being on-site by themselves. Make 100% sure that whomever knocks you door is properly licensed, and not just certified.
* Per current Federal mold/IAQ safety guidelines, a home or building is deemed mold safe when is free of visible mold colonies, debris or filth, there is no evidence of moisture intrusion, substrates are dry (11% or less moisture content), its ventilation system is clean and fully operational, indoor ambient relative humidity is below 50%, and indoor air sampling identified fungi are of similar composition, and fungi spore counts per cubic meter of air are 1/3 or less than those of an outdoor air sample at the time of the assessment.
