For professional and effective mold removal, remediation, inspection, and testing, and water damage restoration throughout Columbia, SC, you can trust Biotek Environmental, Inc. As we know, the climate in Columbia, SC is hot and humid in the summers, whereas during winters it can be cold, cloudy, and damp. Moreover, the city is too far from the coast to take advantage of the sea breezes. These conditions can result in leaking roofs or moisture buildup behind walls or cracks in your home’s foundation. Faulty plumbing is also a common cause of water damage which must be repaired promptly to avoid more significant and costlier repairs down the road.

Often people ask if chlorine, poison, or pesticide based chemicals are effective at killing mold. The use of such chemicals for mold removal or remediation is not advised. The US Department of Labor, OSHA, and the Directorate of Science, Technology and Medicine has issued a safety bulletin warning against the use of biocides and chlorine for mold remediation. Not only are some of these chemicals potentially dangerous, but they are only effective on hard nonporous surfaces and even then only on actively growing microorganisms. Dormant spores hiding in porous surfaces are unaffected by these chemicals.
At Biotek Environmental, Inc., we use oxidative remediation and because the chemistry is applied in a liquid form under pressure, it can penetrate deeply into porous surfaces, cracks and crevices where other methods cannot reach, and the end result is the most effective level of biological decontamination. Oxidative mold remediation, is an environmentally safe process designed specifically to address the unique challenges associated with bio-contamination. We can help you to restore your home or business in the fastest and safest ways possible. We have been in business since 2007 and quickly address emergency calls. Get in touch with us to learn more
