Ohio, 13 November 2018 -- Hurricane Michael resulted in the devastation of a large number of homes in the country. The aftermath of the hurricane, however, resulted in a problem that affected almost all the homes in the area, even those that managed to escape the wrath of the storm – mold.

Mold – A Problem Too Persistent to Be Ignored

One of the problems caused by the hurricane was the destruction of the power lines. As a result, people in several areas had to spend days without power, which resulted in an increase in humidity levels.

Due to intermittent rains, the houses in hurricane-affected areas were already drenched. So, the combination of wetness and humidity naturally made it possible for mold to grow rapidly. One mold spore can turn into twelve million in twelve hours, and each of them into twelve million more, that means exponential growth!

Once you spot mold growth in your house, the recommended measure is to remove anything and everything that is porous and infected and dry the structure as soon as possible. This is precisely what the people in hurricane-affected areas are doing now.

Why Mold Must Be Removed At Once

Molds and mildew are not just unsightly, but they can also cause your health problems which can manifest immediately or worse slowly over time making the diagnosis very difficult. Mold reproduce by the release of microscopic spores into the air, which can trigger allergic reactions and exacerbate the symptoms associated with asthma.

In fact fungal infections of the lungs are frequently mis-diagnosed as asthma.

It can be particularly problematic for small children, elderly people, people who have breathing problems, people who have lung infections, and people who have a compromised immune system. Mold affect people with the least mass most, and it is an opportunistic pathogen striking when the immune system is under stress or attack from other pathogens.

Moreover, excessive mold growth, if left unchecked for a long time, can damage the furnishings and even affect the structural integrity of the building. This is why timely removal of mold is pivotal.

Why Chemical Based Remedies Often Do More Harm and Fail to Eradicate Mold

Many people consider toxic chemical based remedies to be the go-to solution for mold remediation, or mold removal. Harsh chemicals can kill mold on the surfaces but most fail to destroy the spores and leave behind toxic residues that can make occupants sick. These chemicals often fail to remove the musty odors, called MVOC’s which tend to linger in the air even after expensive chemical approaches.

Using chemicals for mold clean up often results in bursting or sporulation where tiny particles of mold and mold spores are dispersed into the air during the process, and since the majority of mold killer are not sporicidal they are still alive. The MVOC’s also remain unaffected and the odor still remains even after the mold removal is over.

These invisible spores that are released during the cleanup process, however, do not remain suspended in the air forever. They do land after a while and when they do, await a new water source resulting in mold and mildew all over the place again.

Mold Remediation Using Ozone

One of the safest and most effective ways to get rid of mold spores and MVOC’s is by using ozone. We have a wide array of ozone generating machines for mold remediation as well as MVOC removal and sanitizing.

Our ozone generators are capable of producing shock levels of ozone that can completely kill off mold and mildew without leaving any odor or living microscopic spores behind.

All you need to do is turn on the machine set the timer and leave. The large volume of ozone generated kills the mold and mildew throughout the even in the darkest of crevices and hidden spaces where even atomized chemicals can never penetrate. In fact scientists at Los Alamos proved that using chemical methods alone leaves behind a contaminated structure.

Our ozone generators are durable and built to last a long time. They are very easy to use, require very little maintenance, and can be used to get rid of a wide range of infestations.
