With over 3 billion internet users worldwide and over 2 billion of them have active social media accounts social media was something ARMEX™ could no longer ignore.

A recent anniversary – 21 years in the business – was announced by my business-related social network computer program. Of course, I realized that the milestone – completing my second full decade in the restoration industry - was approaching, but I didn’t realize that the programmers at LinkedIn would announce it to my entire business and social network.

In the world of restoration, two of the most difficult jobs are fire and mold remediation. Both of these jobs can be made much simpler and safer by abrasive blasting with baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate).

What would you do?” asked the voice on the phone. I get this question almost every day of my working life, from every corner of the U.S., from contractors, engineers, architects, plant managers, insurance professionals, technicians, you name it – they all want to know what I’d do in their position. 

Media blasting. It’s a term with many meanings: demolition by dynamite; criticism of major news networks for their ethics; or restoration work. Media blasting in restoration has a variety of uses from blasting away fire damage to deodorizing and cleaning a surface. 

Media blasting is a popular technique very effectively used to blast away stains from soot, mold, and Mother Nature.

Ever heard the saying “…take a long walk down a short pier”? It’s a clever, but not very nice way to tell someone to go jump in a lake.
