Frequently Asked Questions
Well Bugs Bunny, understand that there is a lot of misinformation about mold on the World Wide Web. A LOT. Extreme ends of the advice-spectrum include “burn your house down and run” to “douse everything in Bleach”. NO. And. NO. If you ask 10 people about mold you will likely get 10 different answers. While we don’t claim to know everything, we know how to effectively remove mold and create healthy homes.
It's okay. We forgive you. If you haven't heard about us then maybe you haven't been in a situation where mold treatment was necessary. Pure Maintenance is an internationally renowned mold removal company. We began in 2008 and have since grown significantly. Millions of square feet of residential and commercial properties have been serviced by Pure Maintenance.
Absolutely! We are chest-pounding proud that our commercial sterilant is a nontoxic application and considered a “green” product. Our products are not harmful to furniture, electronics, or artwork. What a relief, huh?
People and pets are asked to vacate the property while we are working due to the acidic nature of the sterilant. Potency dissipates soon after we finish and occupants can return a couple hours after we finish. Most jobs take us about 4 hours to complete.
1. Open cabinets, drawers, and totes to maximize treatment exposure to the contents within.
2. Disable smoke detectors or call your alarm company to put them on "test mode" for the duration of our treatment. This especially applies to commercial properties. We love and honor firefighters but they don't need to come out unnecessarily on our behalf as our dry vapor may set off the smoke alarm.
3. Perform general cleaning like wiping down dusty areas to help create a better coverage area for the 2nd step application.
4. Have new HVAC filters available for the technician who will treat and install them after treatment.
5. Have payment arrangements ready for the technician's arrival.
6. Hug your family, it just sounds nice.
Enjoy the fruits of our labor. Breathe in quality air that was once tainted by mold toxins. But you were probably asking about possible residue clean up weren't you? Our process doesn't leave residue so no post clean up from us is necessary. There may be a faint vinegar smell but that typically dissipates pretty quickly once we are finished.
The main thing after treatment is being diligent about keeping a dry home, regularly changing air filters, and maintaining cleanliness to minimize sources of food for mold.
We understand the fast and wide-spreading nature of mold spores which is why we do not spot-treat. Instead, we provide a whole-home treatment, addressing all the "living areas" and HVAC ductwork. This thorough approach helps us deliver a long-term solution for mold removal in residential and commercial properties.
It’s always a team effort—we carry out the whole-home treatment, and you proactively safeguard your home from water intrusions, leaks, etc.
We are pretty handy, BUT we focus on whole-home and workplace treatments. This can typically be done in about 4 or 5 hours which is why we can get to our customers so quickly. We are not confined to projects for multiple days running back and forth to home improvement stores. Not that there's anything wrong with that. That's just not how we roll.
