Killing
Mold Inside Of Walls
WILL
OZONE TRAVEL INTO WALLS AND KILL MOLD INSIDE A WALL?
No.
Ozone, or anything else, is NOT
going to travel inside a wall to kill the mold in a wall.
It
is NOT physically
possible to kill mold inside a wall without removing the wallboard.
If
mold is living inside the walls the ONLY way
to kill the mold is to take down the wallboard, discard the mold infected
wallboard, and then blast the inside of the walls with High
Ozone Shock Treatments to make sure that it is
all dead.
The way that you kill mold inside a
wall is to REMOVE THE WALLBOARD and blast
behind it with very high
ozone shock treatments. The wallboard MUST
BE REMOVED and the open area must be blasted with ozone, preferably
many times.
Mold infested wallboard MUST
be thrown away because it is a porous material that mold cannot be killed
inside of.
Just cleaning the area out behind the
wall with bleach or fungicides is not enough to make sure all of the mold
is killed.
You MUST
make sure the mold is 100% dead or when you rebuild your walls or
the spores may start to reproduce within the wall cavity and a few months
later. Soon you could have the exact same mold problem that
you started with. We hear about this exact situation almost every
day. Not killing ALL the mold inside
a wall will only result in you having to do the exact same job all over
again.

Some companies
are now saying that they have "specially created" form of ozone or that
they use "negative pressure" that will get the ozone inside of walls to
kill the mold and bacteria inside them.
This is simply
not true. Others say you can cut holes in the wall and "inject" ozone
into the wall cavity to kill mold.
Again, this is
not true.
Many ozone companies
have been sued by the government by making false claims such as that ozone
will pass through walls. But that is 100% NOT
true, and anyone with common sense will recognize that.
Once again this
is not going to work. Let's think about this logically:
Every wall has
a stud 16 inches apart that the wall board is nailed right up against.
They also have crossbeams halfway up the wall. That means behind
even a short 4 or 5 foot wall there are at least 8 separate cavities.
So simply injecting
the ozone into one cavity is only going to affect a very small cavity,
not the entire opening behind a wall. Even if "negative pressure"
is used it will never be strong enough to draw the ozone through all the
separate wall cavities. It is simply not possible because the
wallboard is nailed right up against the studs and there is no, or very
little air leakage between them.
It does not make
sense to cut 8, 12, or 20 holes in your walls to inject the ozone inside
them.
Besides, the
wallboard itself is most likely infected with the mold inside it's core
so it is going to have to be replaced anyway.
The solution is
to remove the entire wall, clean out any mold and mold infested insulation
and nail up new wallboard. Of course it is strongly recommended that
ozone be used in this mold remediation process.
Some people ask
us if they are going to open up the walls and rebuild anyway why bother
using ozone at all?
The answer to
that is very simple. One must make 100% sure that all the mold is
killed behind a wall before they ever rebuild, or they leave the very real
possibility that the mold will start growing behind the walls in just a
short time once again.
One of the most
common stories we hear almost every day is that someone has torn down their
walls, did a quick mold cleanup, and then 6 months later the mold is growing
once again.
We recommend that
when walls are opened up that the entire room be blasted with very high
levels of ozone, many times over a period of days, to make absolutely sure
all the mold has been killed.
It is still wise
to blast rooms that may even have mold behind the walls because it can
kill the mold that is on the surface of the walls, and in the air, and
therefore make it much safer to be in that room.
Even if you can't
open up the walls and repair them right away, at least blasting ozone into
the room will minimize the severe health consequences that can occur from
even a slight mold exposure.
Ignoring a mold
problem is not going to make it going to go away, and it will only continue
to get worse over time.
All the while
the mold can be negatively affecting your health in an irreversible manner
It is imperative
that rooms with mold in them be blasted with High
Ozone Shock Treatments as soon as
possible to kill any mold that is living in them.
Ozone, or anything
else is NOT going
to travel inside of walls no matter what anyone else may tell you.
It is simply
not possible. We wish that it would so that it would make the job
of mold remediation much easier, but no gas, oxygen or ozone, can pass
through your walls.

Mold
Test Kits
| Mold test kits
are the method professionals use to determine if there is a mold problem.
Our simple, do-it-yourself
test identifies dangerous molds & mildew in 48 hours.
Optional lab analysis
is available to indicate the exact count and type of mold & mildew
present.
The kits may be
used one time. For multiple area testing additional kits will be required.
Mold testing is
the only way to know what kind of mold you have. Testing is also the only
method to know if you have killed the mold after remediation. |

Ultraviolet
Mold Inspection Lamps

Ultraviolet inspection
lamps can identify the location of mold, bacteria, urine, and many other
contaminants.
Identifying the
location of the contaminant can greatly aid in it's remediation by ozone.
Many times there
is an odor in a room, but it may not be clear where it is coming from.
These lamps can
help determine the location of an odor and make the remediation job easier.
These professional
lamps are designed to display ultraviolet light in long wave frequencies.
Long wave UV
light is required to find contaminants such as urine and mold. |
