Mold Remediation and Property Restoration Begins on the Good Samaritan Health Clinic

Day 1: The property restoration has begun at The Good Samaritan Health Clinic of Pasco!

For those of you who may not know, The Good Samaritan Health Clinic of Pasco was chosen as winner of our Secret Restoration Project. The building exterior is in rough shape. Falling apart in places and completely infested by mold on several walls. Today, we have the awesome team from Don Polson Painting, including owner Don Polson himself, out with us to begin repairing the clinic’s exterior. We have quite a large team out because we have a lot of work to do in just 3 days. Our goal is to have the project completed by Saturday, February 19th.

In the meanwhile, FOX News stopped by today to get some footage of the restoration in action. You can see the segment tonight, Thursday, February 17th, at both the 5pm and 6pm hours.

We will keep you posted throughout the restoration!

Here are some photos that Don took at the site with his cell phone:

Palm Harbor Mold Growth in Attic

Recently, Advanced Restoration was called out to inspect a situation in a Palm Harbor attic: mold damage.

When we arrived on scene and climbed up into the attic of the home, we could clearly see several patches of mold growing. Once up in the attic, we inspected the area and came to two major conclusions. The first conclusion was that there was not nearly enough insulation in the attic. Insulation is extremely important in retaining the temperature in your home. For example, a well insulated attic will help retain warm temperatures in the winter and cool temperatures in the summer. The insulation in this home, however, was inadequate. It was old and probably a low grade. The recommended energy efficient insulation is scored at least at an index insulation value of R-30. R-30 would also mean between 8-14″ of insulation as opposed to the 2″ of insulation we were met with. So, not only was the lack of insulation working against the homeowner’s efforts to keep an ambient temperature in their home, and thus, increasing energy costs, but it was also allowing heat to enter the attic.

Our second conclusion as to what was creating an environment hospitable for black mold was the fact the the attic had very poor ventilation. With heat comes moisture and without adequate ventilation, the heat becomes trapped in the attic and the moisture sets onto the various materials in the attic. And as we all know, standing water can cause mold to grow rather quickly, especially if it is surrounded by mold’s favorite food: organic materials. It was clear what needed to be done. The first step: mold removal followed by complete remediation. The next step: the homeowner’s needed to get their attic updated with increased ventilation. Finally, the homeowner’s would need to get their insulation upgraded.

A quick note to homeowners is to check with your energy company to see if you can get a rebate. For example, Progress Energy offers homeowners incentives to upgrade their insulation. See this link for details: http://progress-energy.com/custservice/flares/energyhome/insulation.asp

Either way, the cost of upgrading your insulation and ensuring proper ventilation in your attic can benefit you in more ways than one. Not only will you be able to control your ambient temperature, but you will also be able to save on your energy bills and know that you have a healthy, happy attic.

Hydroxyl Generators for Mold Removal New Port Richey

Indoor air quality has a greater impact on health than outdoor air quality, as North American adults spend almost 90% of their time indoors. The ODOROX hydroxyl generator is an advanced green technology that offers enormous benefits for improving air quality and decontaminating areas. The benefits that accompany the Generator can be applied to any industry and even for residential use.

ODOROX hydroxyl generators provide a permanent solution to combat poor indoor air quality due to bacteria, viruses, mold, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and offensive odors. Unlike using ozone, foggers and harsh chemicals, the Odorox system is completely safe for people, animals, plants, rubber, plastic, vinyl, electronics and other sensitive materials. This allows the generators to be operated in occupied areas twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Everyone can benefit from the use of an onsite ODOROX Odor Processor.

ODOROX hydroxyl generators are a perfect accompaniment for Disaster Restoration. They can be used for fire and smoke restoration, water and flood restoration, mold removal New Port Richey, sewage backups, eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odor elimination, contents restoration, as well as for Biohazard waste and trauma cleanup. There are numerous benefits associated with using ODOROX hydroxyl generators for damage restoration. The generators use no chemicals and leave no residue making them ideal for the environment of the chemically sensitive or medically compromised persons. They allow companies to decontaminate while structures dry, not afterwards. This allows companies to save time and often reduce or eliminate costly business interruption. The generators also allow for companies to decontaminate previously considered unsalvageable items. With use of the ODOROX hydroxyl generators, restoration companies are able complete their jobs faster and more effectively. In addition, restoration companies are able to effectively eliminate fire & organic vapors, odors, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, chemicals fumes & gasses.

Going Green for Mold Removal Tampa Bay: Meet the Boss XL3

At Advanced Restoration, we are always on the look out for cutting edge technology, especially when it’s green!

We are extremely excited to introduce our newest addition to the Advanced Restoration equipment lineup: a state of the art hydroxyl generating system, the BOSS XL3. Created by ODOROX, the BOSS XL3 is a hydroxyl generating system that is cutting edge, new, green technology and is the most advanced solution for eliminating odors, decontaminating surfaces and purifying the air. In simple terms, when it comes to damage restoration, there isn’t anything like the BOSS!
Hydroxyl Mold Removal New Port Richey Generator

To sum up the extraordinary benefits of Odorox hydroxyl generators, they provide a permanent solution to combat poor indoor air quality. Unlike other methods that use ozone or harsh chemicals, the Odorox system is completely safe for people, animals, plants, rubber, plastic, vinyl, electronics and other sensitive materials. The benefits of the Hyroxyl odor processors are enormous and can be used by any industry, even residential.

The EPA says the three main reasons for poor indoor air quality in office buildings are the presence of indoor air pollution sources; poorly designed, maintained, or operated ventilation systems; and uses of the building that were unanticipated or poorly planned for when the building was designed or renovated. Leaving these issues unaddressed can cause health problems for customers and employees, and ultimately lead to Sick Building Syndrome.

The technology behind the ODOROX generators is based on nature itself. ODOROX uses green technology to provide the most effective and efficient solution to eliminate odors, decontaminate surfaces and purify the air. How? Through the use of patented UV technology, ODOROX replicates the natural production of hydroxyls to completely eliminate biological and chemical contaminants. Hydroxyls, often referred to as nature’s detergent, play a critical role in cleaning the earth’s atmosphere. They are safe, naturally occurring molecules that are created in our atmosphere when the sun’s ultraviolet rays react with water vapor.

Now that we have explained the technology, let’s see how it works. The first part of the air cleanup happens within a processing chamber within the hydroxyl generators. In the chamber, airflow is sanitized and hydroxyls are produced. The hydroxyl molecules exit the chamber to decontaminate surfaces and contents. Contaminated air is directed into the chamber where it is met by an oxidizing formula to produce hydroxyls. Quartz crystal optics in the chamber are finely tuned to deodorize air flow, eradicate bacteria and other microorganisms, and produce hydroxyl molecules. The purified air is recycled back into the environment along with hydroxyls to further decontaminate surfaces & contents.

The second step of the purification happens when the hydroxyls that are created are sent to “seek and destroy” odor molecules, bacteria, viruses, mold, VOCs and other chemicals. Because of this, contaminants within a room are not required to pass through the processing chamber in order to become decontaminated. Outside the unit the hydroxyls immediately begin a cascade reaction in the air, creating even more hydroxyls. The cascade of hydroxyls quickly disperse throughout the air and penetrates surfaces and objects. Notably, the process simultaneously decontaminates the air, surfaces, and objects.

Odorox manufactures 7 types of hydroxyl odor processors. Each processor provides solutions based on the type of contaminant, severity of contamination and size of treatment area. The BOSS & BOSS XL3 models are manufactured to treat the widest variety of contaminants. While the BOSS is finely tuned to eliminate heavy odors, the Boss XL3 will provide a heavier concentration of hydroxyls to treat large areas affected by any odor problem that may be encountered. The Boss XL3 provides a heavy concentration of hydroxyls to treat large areas affected by fire and smoke, flood, nicotine, grey/ black water, decomposition, mold, sewage, chemical spills/ off gassing and any other odor problem you may encounter. In addition, the XL3 allows Advanced Restoration to decontaminate and deodorize while we dry because it joins directly to our existing air movers.

Due to the safety and effectiveness of the hydroxyl molecule, disaster restoration companies such as Advanced Restoration are benefiting tremendously from never before seen results. The XL3 can be used to remove odor from: fire and smoke; flood; nicotine; grey/ black water; decomposition; mold and mildew; chemicals; and sewage. In addition, the XL3 can be used to remove noxious gasses, VOC’s, mold spores, bacteria and viruses from the air. The BOSS line, including the XL3, can even be used to treat even the most common household odors such as odors from pets, cooking, skunks and trash.

In our industry, we use the BOSS XL3 for: Fire Restoration, Water Damage Restoration, Flood Damage, Sewage Backup, Mold Remediation Tampa, Odor Removal, Biohazard (odor abatement, bacteria & virus eradication), and for Deodorizing soft furniture, clothing & draperies. One of the most exciting aspects of using the BOSS XL3 (if all the reasons we listed weren’t enough), we can now decontaminate previously considered unsalvageable items. Plus, these units will not bleach or discolor items that are wet, nor will they damage rubber, plastic, leather, vinyl, electronics or other sensitive materials.

Whatever the contaminant, we are pleased to know that when it comes to disaster restoration, we can bring out our BOSS XL3 for even the worst problems. We appreciate that the BOSS XL3 equipment is completely safe for people, pets, plants, rubbers, plastics & other organic materials. Plus, Advanced Restoration is always excited to support green products from green companies.
