  1. MOLD From MOLD to SOLD

  2. Mold • 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 • Moisture • Temperature • Moving Air • Carbohydrates

  3. Mold in the Wall • 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

  4. The MoldExterm™ System • 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!

  5. Dehumidification • 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 MervFilter—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

  6. Other Methods • 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
