customers receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report and lab
interpretations.
Air
Advantage is highly certified in mold remediation and returning indoor air
quality to healthy living conditions. Our attention to detail,
common sense, experience and training can return the worst water and mold
infested building into a normal, healthy breathing environment.
Water Damage Restoration
Drying before
mold has a chance to start to grow is a big part of what we do. We are
certified in water restoration by the IICRC and have successfully dried
hundreds of homes, crawl spaces and buildings. We monitor the drying
on a daily basis and record moisture readings in a moisture log. Our
average crawl space drying time is 3 to 5 days.
HealthyGuard™, Pro-Active, Stop Loss Microbial
Prevention Process
HealthyGuard™ is
a process combining electrostatic technology and mPale® (AEGIS™
antimicrobial) that pro-actively removes and prevents all molds, bacteria,
algae and yeast growth. The mPale® antimicrobial permanently bonds to
all surfaces and cannot be rubbed or wiped off. After which, the
negatively charge microbes are attracted to the positively charged mPale®
surfaces and then “electrocuted” and virtually eliminated. The
HealthyGuard™ process virtually eliminates microbial growth and the damage
it causes. Since mPale® cannot be absorbed or rubbed off it will
continue to work indefinitely as long as the surface remains in tack.
The HealthyGuard™ process is used for a wide-variety of applications and the
following are to name a few:
- Removes and
prevents airborne and surface growth of mold, bacteria and algae.
- Pre-treating
new homes and buildings during the construction phase to prevent mold
and bacteria growth before it begins.
- Applied to
new homes and buildings right before move in to create a
semi-hypo-allergenic environment.
- Applied in
athletic facilities, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. to prevent
infections caused by bacteria such as staph (MRSA), athlete’s foot,
Meningitis, Strep and all other bacterial problems.
MicroGuard®
Protective Sealants
The MicroGuard®
product line provides an eco-friendly, inorganic sealants for superior
performance and protection for non-ferrous metal, hard tile, terrazzo,
concrete, and painted metal surfaces.
Sealed surfaces cannot be stained, fade, oxidize, corrode and are
extremely abrasion and slip.
Mold cannot grow on MicroGuard® sealed surfaces.
Only water and “green” products are recommended for cleaning making
MicroGuard® environmentally eco-friendly products.
The primary benefits* include:
- Extension
of Useful Surface Life
- Ease
of Cleaning
- Long
Term Durability
- Enhanced
Foot Traction on Flooring
- Mold
& Mildew Growth Mitigation
- Reduction
in Operating and Capital Costs associated with Building Maintenance
- Saves
Energy and Reduces Pollution to the Atmosphere and Waste Stream
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Our duct cleaning system is truly the most up-to-date system on the
market today. As a value added feature, the entire duct cleaning can
be recorded on a VHS tape (when applicable) which provides assurance to our
customers that their ducts were in fact cleaned.
Encasing Systems
(Coating)
In some cases removing moldy materials such as commercial pipe
insulation, metal rafters, concrete, etc. is cost prohibited. After
the materials are dried and cleaned, the encapsulate product is applied to
the surfaces via paint brush or airless paint sprayer. Once applied,
this non-organic paint like substance is nearly impossible to crack, peel or
be removed and in no way can VOC’s escape through the product.
It is also used to encapsulate lead and asbestos materials.
Products
HealthyGuard™:
HealthyGuard™is a unique process that combines electrostatic
sprayers and AEGIS™, an EPA registered proven antimicrobial product that not
only eliminates and prevents all molds, bacteria, algae and yeast, but
continues indefinitely to prevent microbial growth that cause ill health
effects long after the treatment has been administered. HealthyGuard™ is a non-toxic, colorless and odorless solution.
HealthyGuard™ is a multi-purpose product that effectively cleans
the air and all surfaces where mold and bacteria have grown. It is used to prevent mold and bacteria from
growing even in moist, damp conditions. The following list some of the many applications where HealthyGuard™ has been used:
-
New
Construction - Applied to
homes and wood structure buildings to stop mold growth on wooden structures
(studs, joists, sub-floors, firewalls, etc) during the construction phase of
the building.
-
Athletic Facilities – prevents bacteria & mold growth on
wrestling mats,
synthetic turf fields, football pads, saunas and more in
athletic departments (recently applied: VA Tech’s Athletic Department,
Redskins and Minnesota Vikings Locker Rooms) to prevent bacteria (staph
(MRSA) and fungus infections.
-
Hospitals – applied to surgical instruments and all surfaces to prevent
bacteria and mold growth on treated surfaces which may assist in
lowering bacterial infections.
-
Food Plants – Tyson Hatcher applied
mPale®
to its food plants for sanitation purposes.
-
Carpets –
Continues
to prevent microbial growth and odors on carpeting in restaurants,
hotels, hospitals, etc.
Odor Elimination:
Hotels
Hospitals
and Nursing Homes
Restaurants
& Food Plants
Day Care
Centers
Residential
Homes
Carpeting
Anabec Cleaning Solution:
Anabec is a non-toxic cleaning solution used
to wipe and remove mold from porous and non-porous surfaces. It is safe and effective on almost all
services where there is mold and bacteria growth. It is also effective in removing bacteria and
by removing bacteria, it removes odor.
MicroGuard® Protective Sealants:
MicroGuard® is an in-organic, clear, saline based product
that restores and protects HVAC systems, non-ferrous metals, tile, concrete,
and masonry floors and walls for years. Once applied it is not easily
removed and can last for years before maintenance is required. When
maintenance is necessary only the wear pattern area needs resealing not the
entire flooring area. MicroGuard® is not a topical or surface only sealant
it covalently (permanent) bonds to the product it is applied to.
MicroGuard® sealed products only require water or
“green” products to clean and since it is in-organic mold can not grow on
sealed surfaces. MicroGuard® also makes a powerful anti-graffiti sealant
that makes removing graffiti as easy as spray and wipe.
It can be
applied to:
- HVAC Systems
- Non-ferrous metals
such as
- Brass
- Copper
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Pavers
- Concrete
- Stone
- Hard tile
- Decorative tile
- Terrazzo
- Surfaces prone to
Graffiti
Encasement Systems:
This non-organic paint-like product is used to encase
rather than remove mold, asbestos and lead based materials. Instead of
the costly removal of materials such as mold invested insulated pipes, lead
painted surfaces and asbestos encasing or encapsulating these materials can
save hundreds of thousands of dollars. Recently the US Government
saved over $100,000 to encase asbestos pipe insulation rather than remove
and re-wrap the pipes.

Equipment
Electrostatic Machine:
We deliver all mold and
bacteria products through an electrostatic machine. The electrostatic machine charges the product
as it is released from the machine and the coverage is 70% times better than ordinary delivery systems such as an airless
paint sprayer.
Electrostatic Charge Turned OFF:
Notice the coverage on
the target (ball). Only half of the target is covered.
Notice the coverage on the target (ball). The
charged droplets wrapped around, reaching the back of the sphere.

Benefits:

Over 70% increase in coverage
Over 450% increase in coverage in hidden areas
Reduces “hang-time” (airborne residue)
Provides uniform dispersion and coating
Leaves no visible residue
and
Coats air-borne and non-conductive targets

short video.
 Laser Particle Counter (LPC):
The LPC measures the number of airborne particles in the mold and
bacteria range from .03, .05, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 micron ranges. We use the LPC to monitor initial particle
contamination counts in mold remediation projects. During the remediation project, we use the
LPC to monitor the increase and decrease of particles.
We also use the LPC during indoor
air quality testing to alleviate unnecessary air testing. We take counts to determine the areas in a
home or building with the highest counts and then take the air samples in those
specific areas.

High Volume Air Pump:
We use this equipment during
indoor air quality testing. The airflow pathway is designed to pull
air through the Air-O-Cell® by this high flow pump and impact the particles
onto a transparent adhesive slide in the center of the cassette. As
the air passes through the cassette a wide array of aerosols such as mold
spores, pollen, skin fragments, fiberglass, and clothing fibers, is caught
on the adhesive. The cassettes are sent to an accredited laboratory for
analysis.

Digital
Photography:
Every job we do is well documented with
photography. The pictures are recorded
onto compact discs and labeled with the job name. When the job is complete, the discs and all
documents pertaining to the job are filed.

Documentation:
In addition to
photography, an important part of all mold remediation jobs is
documentation. Every detail of on-going remediation jobs is documented
in a log book. Each page in the log book is numbered for quick
reference, accuracy and is court
admissible.
Video Duct Cleaning
System
-
Brush head is inserted into
ductwork at the register
-
If certain circumstances, the duct cleaning can be video
monitored and recorded to VHS tape. This allows our technician and the customer
to see the cleaning on the full-color monitor.
- On its path through the ductwork, a combination of
adjustable-sized stationary brush and variable-speed rotating brush loosen
contaminants from inner walls of duct
- A powerful stream of compressed air pushes loosened
debris toward the plenum
- Debris is collected by a powerful HEPA-filtered vacuum.
- The disinfectant sprayer mounted on the brush head then
sanitizes all ductwork on its return path to the register.
- Our system proves to the customer
beyond a doubt
that their ventilation system has really been cleaned!
