Restorer’s Perspective: Making the Case for Mold Chemicals
Allpro Restoration Services did 87 attic mold remediation jobs in 2013. By the end of 2014, it expects to complete as many as 200.
There is a bevy of ways to remove mold from property. Gansevoort, New York-based Allpro Restoration Services, a full service restoration business, has dabbled in quite a few of them over the company’s 30-year tenure. Their first mold remediation technique involved encapsulation, which consisted of HEPA-vacuuming, scrubbing and sealing the area with an antimicrobial. The second technology deployed was media blasting.
While both of the aforementioned technologies were effective in getting the job done, Jim Palmieri, Allpro General Manager, disliked the former due to the “scar-like” characteristics it left behind and the latter due to the expense, mess and labor involved.
