Many companies are advertising a new technology called “Dry Fog” and are even going so far as to say that it is the “Future Of Mold Remediation.”

Is it for real?

Dry fogging can not destroy the source of the spore growth, causing mold damage in your home. It’s simple- Your mold will return because it was not destroyed at its source. That is why we would never waste your money on this gimmick.  Actual mold removal eliminates all traces and spores of mold by seeping through her floor and drywall, all the way to the studs, to eliminate the source of the problem. Fogging is cheaper and less invasive, but we can not guarantee that dry fogging will work… So, do you want to take a chance?

True Story:

A woman came to FastFix Restoration because she had recently paid for dry fogging services in her home, and the mold returned after a few days. We explained to her that even though the Fogging Company promised it would remove mold…dry fogging, in fact, is not a real mold removal solution. She had to start over and do it right.

The Bottom Line – Dry Fogging Does Not Penetrate Hard Surfaces

In this process of dry fogging, the microbial Volatile Organic Compound vapor might eliminate the MUSTY smell in the air. But it can not kill the spores. Nor does it kill the source of the mold, which will continue to release spores into the air. Your house might smell better. The air might test cleaner, but in a matter of hours, days, or weeks, your mold will return.

FastFix does it right

Dry Fogging is just not invasive enough and does not affect the underlying surfaces that contain the source of your mold. In essence, this is a band-aid fix.

Our process is simple- we inspect the damage, apply treatments, and ensure that the mold does not return. We use HEPA-filtered equipment, protective gear, and antimicrobial chemicals to remove any traces of mold from your property.

Mold is a substance that is found in a lot of homes, and people are typically always concerned about the mold in their houses. This blog post will provide reasons why mold is dangerous for health and home structure and provide some tips on how to protect yourself and your home from mold.

Mold is a word that is thrown around a lot these days, but what does it mean, exactly?

Molds are a natural part of our environment and are constantly decomposing organic materials outdoors, such as leaves, wood, soil, etc. Molds are ubiquitous, meaning they are found everywhere in outdoor and indoor environments. For instance, Mold could be found in the food that you eat, the air that you breathe, and even the walls of your home.

Some molds like different environmental conditions. Some mold likes cold (check in the back of your refrigerator), and some like hot environments. Different types of mold also love wet conditions, and some prefer somewhat dry.

Molds, like all living things, need various things to grow and survive.

1. They need organic materials like drywall, wood, carpet, paper, etc.
2. How Long Does It Take For Mold To Grow: Usually 48-72 hours.
3. Temperature – generally the exact temperature that we like.
4. Low airflow.
5. Water – is the main ingredient for mold growth.

The route of exposure to molds is through inhalation or breathing in spores and hyphal fragments. Moreover, some fungi, under certain conditions, can release Mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are complex chemical toxins that can be inhaled, ingested, and absorbed through the skin, which are incredibly harmful to humans and animals. One of the most toxic and dangerous mycotoxin producers is Stachybotrys.

Stachybotrys (black toxic mold) is a hydrophilic mold that loves to grow on continuously wet drywall and other low-nitrogen building materials. It’s a slow grower and is sticky due to the mucous enzyme it produces. Generally taking between 7-12 days.

It can cause several health problems, including headaches, fatigue, and allergic reactions. Molds are also associated with the development of asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems. Molds can also cause vast structural damage to your building.

Mold remediation services are the process of removing mold and restoring the area to its natural, healthy state. The health of the individual and the air quality in the area is the top priority. Mold removal is typically done by certified experts, and it is best to contact a professional for help with mold.
