From MOLD to SOLD

 Myths  Bleach kills mold  Dead Mold is fine  Not all molds are harmful  Truth  Over 100,000 different Molds  Mold needs four things to grow and populate 1. Moisture 2. Temperature 3. Moving Air 4. Carbohydrates

 Five ways Mold will grow in the wall  Dryer vent vented into a wall void  Cold Air duct running in the wall against a warm wall  Plumbing Leak  Flooding where there is subsequent damage to wallboard  Heavy water intrusion into insulation and drywall

 Part A: Apply anti-microbial product to kill mold and mildew in treated areas. This EPA-registered product can ONLY be applied by certified pest control technicians like ours!  Part B: Apply our unique, proprietary, patented and long- lasting polymer to seal dead mold spores and prevent their return to treated areas. This sealer is only available for application by certified MoldExterm™ companies.  Part C: Lower the relative humidity levels within the structure by installing a specially-designed Stanta Fe dehumidifier.  Renewable service agreement—up to FIVE YEARS!

 Mold grows at 70% relative humidity  Big Box Stores  Most dehumidifiers available in big box stores are not designed for basement/crawlspace use  Santa Fe Dehumidifiers  11 Merv Filter—filters mold spores out of the air  12.5 Gallons in one day  6.7 amps  Runs on fewer amps than other dehumidfiers  Saves on Electric Bills

 Traditional Remediation  Ripping out the mold-infested materials  Expensive  The old way  Caltex System  Will pit metals  Bora Care Mold Care  Can’t be used on non-porous surfaces and does not seal  Bleach  Building materials will absorb large amounts of the active ingredient, causing the gradual loss of chlorine gas into the living space for an extended period of time*  Not labeled for wood treatment*  Do Nothing  Not an option when wanting to rent space, keep tenants, or sell a house. *: According to Mississippi State University
