Our patented dry fog reaches every surface the air touches inside the sealed, treated room - getting into spaces ordinary cleaning misses. Our antimicrobial film is applied to surfaces, helping to prevent it from coming back. It comes with our 1-year warranty. Most current mould remediation companies employ the use of wet foggers (ULV fogging). This administers the sterilant in a droplet size which causes it to condense on surfaces, meaning airborne mould spores and dangerous mycotoxins are left largely unaffected. Our patented dry fog technology condenses the sterilant to roughly a 7.5-micron droplet. Killing the living mould stops it producing more mycotoxins; airing the room out afterwards clears the airborne load. This means three things: First, it is unable to condense on surfaces and dwells in the air; reducing the abundance of mould spores and harmful mycotoxins traditional methods can't deal with. Second, our dry fog machine creates positive air pressure, meaning the dry fog is forced to fill the entire volume of a room or house, forcing the sterilant to dwell on every surface and object. Third, it reaches every surface the air touches within the sealed, treated space, meaning we are able to comprehensively treat every accessible area of mould contamination.
Unless you've had a leak or suffered flood damage, the'res a good chance the mould in your home is a result of dampness and humidity caused by basic daily tasks like showering, cooking and drying clothes combined with poor ventilation. These human activites cause water vapour and condensation, which when combined with poor ventilation, generates sufficient moisture in the home for mould to grow.
80-85% of household mould is caused by condensation, which is man-made damp. Condensation causes mould to grow and once mould is visible in your home, it needs to be removed as it can be both harmful to health and destructive to property.Mould is caused by dampness and humidity. However, there is one type of damp which is the main culprit when it comes to household mould. 80-85% of mould problems are attributed to condensation, or in other words, man-made dampness. Only 15-20% of mould problems arise from the other two categories of damp; penetrating damp and rising damp. Condensation occurs when hot air comes into contact with cold air. There are many things we do in a daily basis which causes this. Condensation occurs when moist air comes into contact with a colder surface like a wall, window, mirror etc. The air can’t hold the moisture and droplets of water are formed. It also occurs in places the air is still, like the corners of rooms, behind furniture or inside wardrobes. This moist environment is a furtile breeding ground for mould.
Typically, if you wipe mould down, it will aggressively spore into your airspace as a defence mechanism. Wiping mould down, even with bleach, will actually make the problem worse by increasing the volume of mould spores in your airspace.
Mould is a living organism. When it is wiped down with a cloth and a household cleaner, it simply aggravates the mould colony. As a defence mechanism, it aggressively sends spores into your airspace. This has the unfortunate effect of worsening your mould problem as the mould spores will land on other surfaces and get into soft furnishings and clothes. In addition, it increases the level of harmful mycotoxins in your airspace. A common misconception is that bleach removes mould. However, bleaching mould simply depigments it, creating the impression that it's gone when, in fact, it is alive and aggressively sporulating into the airspace.
Serious damp and mould can be assessed as a Category 1 hazard according to the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) - its most serious banding, which places a legal duty on landlords to act. It is known to cause a wide range of health problems including respiratory problems, the exasperation of autoimmune diseases, a weakened immune system and brain fog or insomnia.
The health risks associated with household mould are arguably understated and misunderstood by the general public in the UK. The risk to health is typically contingent upon the time you’ve been exposed, the mould strains present and the density of airborne spores and mycotoxins.
Our treatment process is designed to improve the air quality of the home. The active component of our sterilant breaks down very quickly after the fogging application into acetic acid (the same acid found in 5% vinegar), molecular oxygen and water. We air the room out fully, and you go back to your home once your technician confirms it's clear - usually the same day.
Inside the sealed, treated room the fog reaches every surface the air touches. Mould inside a wall cavity is a different question - we won't pretend fog travels through a sealed void; we trace the moisture source and open up to treat or remove the growth directly.
We offer a 1 year warranty against the reappearance of visible mould. If it comes back within 12 months, so do we. However, if all moisture and water issues are resolved, this is a long-term solution when moisture sources are addressed. Where the moisture's been sorted, the result lasts - which is why we back the job with a 12-month re-treatment warranty. EverPURE adds a durable antimicrobial later that helps resist regrowth. Where there's an active leak, we diagnose it and refer the repair; what makes the result last is getting the moisture under control.
Your technician will take three air samples upon completing the treatment; a pre-treatment sample, a post-treatment sample and an outdoor air test as a control. The air samples are then sent to an independent third-party lab. We use an accredited mould laboratory that has no affiliation with any mould testing or mould remediation companies. Once your results are in, we relay them to you in the form of an easy to understand dashboard.
Our patented dry fogger condenses our sterilant to a smaller molecular size than is possible with traditional fogging technology. This means our sterilant is unable to condense on surfaces and dwells in the air. This allows it to significantly reduce the abundance of mould spores and harmful mycotoxins that traditional fogging methods (like ULV) can't deal with. We systematically and comprehensively treat surface, embedded (in textiles and porous materials) and airborne mould contamination.
