  Properly cleaning HVAC systems requires removing the sources of contamination.
  Source removal begins with the use of one or more agitation devices designed to loosen
  contaminants from the Interior surfaces within the heating and air conditioning system.
  Examples of agitation devices include brushes, air whips and compressed air nozzles or
  “skipper balls”. agitation can also be achieved through hand contact HEPA vacuuming.
  During the cleaning, the entire HVAC system is placed under continuous negative
  pressure with a HEPA filtered device to prevent the spread of contaminants.
  Continuous negative pressure allows very fine particles to be removed from the system
  as they become airborne within the system ensuring that these particles are not
  released into the living space when the system is turned on after cleaning. This negative
  pressure also serves to extract the loosened contaminants, which are collected and
   removed from your home.

HOW IT WORKS

Read More


Many companies claim that they know how to remediate mold. However, what they do is not according to industry standards and actually make things worse by spraying the mold affected areas with chemicals, and then use blowers to spread spores in nearby areas and that's it. But that's not how it works, according to the EPA, even dead mold causes the same health problems that live mold does. Mold cannot be removed solely by cleaning the affected surfaces. For successful mold remediation, the mold contaminated material must be physically removed followed by the proper cleaning steps. In many cases, the mold is hidden within wall cavities or in inaccessible areas where it cannot just be cleaned, fogged, or sprayed. That’s when the removal of the actual contaminated material is crucial.

If you suspect that you have mold in your home, and that you or someone in your family has been exposed to mold, we suggest you first hire an IEP (Indoor Environmental Professional) such as a mold inspector or an industrial hygienist to assess your home. Once you receive their written report with recommendations, we will carefully review it and offer our services to help you take the next steps in implementing the recommended protocols. An experienced member of our team will visit your home or business in a timely fashion to evaluate the mold situation and/or HVAC system(s) cleaning needs, and will provide you with verbal and written information regarding the project and associated costs. Subsequently, Better Breathing Environmental will then work closely with your IEP and will adhere to their report. We will base the project on their recommendations to achieve a thorough and successful mold remediation and HVAC system cleaning following their protocols. To ensure that the remediation plan has been completed effectively, post-remediation testing by your IEP is always recommended.



OBJECTIVE

When it comes to mold and microbial growth, the objective in many cases can vary based on several factors such as the type of structure being remediated, the health conditions of the occupants and cost associated but the most common targets should include:

Helping the customer understand the problems that create moisture or uncontrolled
humidity so they can take the proper action.

Properly and safely remediate the mold and the microbial growth by removal and
not just cleaning, spraying or fogging.

Small particle cleaning to remove contaminants and mycotoxins by methods of air
scrubbing, fogging, HEPA vacuuming and wiping all affected surfaces and items.
