Alliance Environmental Group Saves Nineteen Country Club Homes in Riverside County

Nineteen homes located in a Country Club were threatened with rebuilding and excessive remediation costs.

Alliance used the ThermaPureHeat™ treatment which was recently awarded the “Best New Product” honor by the National Society of Professional Engineers. The ThermaPureHeat™ process eliminated the mold from these homes, a result that was verified by a third-party testing company.

When Alliance received the green light to start the project, we removed heat sensitive items and set up the equipment and containment. The equipment used for this ThermaPureHeat™ project consists of a trailer-mounted heater, portable propane heaters, air blowers, Mylar ducting, and digital thermometers.

Alliance thoroughly cleaned each house before testing, and then through the heating process and careful thermal monitoring, we achieved a successful first-time clearance on the first five homes completed of the nineteen eventually to be cleared. The state-of-the-art equipment and computer monitoring systems enabled Alliance to exceed the builder’s timelines and expectations.

Why use ThermaPureHeat™?

The two biggest reasons are safety and cost savings. Heat eradication kills mold spores at approximately 150° Fahrenheit and eliminates the use of toxic chemicals in the homes. Unlike traditional mold remediation methods, our ThermaPureHeat™ treatment process leaves no lingering residues and does not threaten the health of pets, plants, or people.

With safety and health as most owners’ priorities, Alliance offers a safe and effective alternative to mold and mildew removal. In addition, ThermaPureHeat™ is non-invasive and is less destructive than other traditional mold remediation methods. Alliance saved the owners of this development millions of dollars in removal, rebuilding and remediation costs.

Remember a time when we never used the word MOLD it was always

MILDEW.  In a previous blog we have written about the reasons of the rise in Mold over the past decades could be from the new building codes that the EPA mandated for energy efficiency. These codes not only make your contractor to   structurally bring new housing into compliance, it  also encouraged homeowners to insulate, put in high efficiency windows, and other energy efficiency building materials into the construction of their homes.  Doing this in effect now doesn’t allow the house to “breath”  or ventilate. And in turn traps moisture and invites the perfect environment for mold.  So why do we now use the word MOLD over MILDEW?

Lets first explain the if there is a difference.  Mildew is a word used before mold was really understood as being toxic and non toxic.  Back in the time when our home “breathed” and we were not concerned with mold as a potential health issue.

We have said before that there are many different species of  mold, which is from the fungi family.  These one-cell organisms are naturally occurring in the environment to help with composting of vegetation  MILDEW is often the least toxic type of mold, whitish to bluish in color and easily removed. It is a common mold that a commercial mildew remover can be used in routine cleaning.  There are also “home remedies” such as using, diluted bleach, or water and borax, even Tea oil and water, to name a few. This is only for small area’s of mildew found.

We see this type of mold  in the bathroom.  Also ”musty” smelling area’s, such as basements will also give you a clue there is some type of mold in your home.  Some molds can unfortunately be toxic.  Depending on the amount of infestation of the mold and the type of mold.  Usually mildew or non toxic mold we see in the bathroom can easily be removed.

This type of mold or  mildew spore can find a home on material, fabric, upholstery, rugs and Carpets. Once a food source is found and moisture or water is available, mold will grow.  As we have written before, if a large area is discovered, a certified Mold contractor should be contacted.  But here are a few ways that you may prevent mildew from occurring.

1.  Get the moisture out of the air.  The first step to control mildew is to try and control the humidity or moisture in the air.  Not just a leaky pipes or roofs are always the culprits.  Moisture in the air can add gallons of water in the house’s environment from bathing, washing clothes and even cooking. Emittin water vapor in the air.

2.  Cool air holds less moisture than hot.  Air conditioning if  working and ventilating properly while cooling the air will remove the moisture in the  air. Then circulate the newly cooled and dry air back into the house.  If needed you can also warm the house to get rid of any dampness.  Always use an exhaust fan while cooking or showering.  A simple thing as a light bulb in a small area will get rid of dampness in a small space such as a closet housing your water heater.

3.  You can also use commercial products the absorb moisture using a silica gel or activated alumna, as these will absorb moisture in the air.  Remember to keep the air circulating.  As stated before, our homes are much less able to “breathe” as we try to conserve energy and keep the cool inside and the hot outside. We as always are concerned about the not only the health of your family but the health of your home.

With that in mind let Moldremoval.com help you find a contractor in your area that can help you to make sure you do not have toxic Mildew or Black mold in your home.
