Certified Environmental Services, Inc. as an Environmental Consulting firm has been validating the work done
by Mold remediation companies for several years by air sampling the indoor air in the immediate area of the
remediation. The results in these cases have been fungal counts that are acceptable and in a significant
number of cases additional remediation is required and additional testing. These companies have been the
"Rip and Tear" type of remediation. This type of remediation is very costly and disruptive to the homeowner
or buyer.
CES first contact with a site that was remediated by GPS where a minimum amount of "Rip and Tear" occurred
was quite revealing. The post remediated air sample readings taken by CES were all very low readings of
less than 300 total fungal spores in cubic meter of air. CES requested a copy of the MSDS for the material
used by GPS. The review of the product revealed the active compound in the material was less than 1%.
This small amount is not harmful to humans or pets but it appeared to work well on fungi.
The next project GPS remediated was a 2 million dollar home where two previous remediations had not been
able to reduce the mold count below 20,000 units per M3. After GPS remediated the home CES collected
samples and the results were less than 300 units per M3.
CES has sampled several GPS projects since and all have had very low fungal counts after remediation.
In addition to the low fungal counts the project is less invasive and the work is completed in a short
period of time, reducing the homeowners disruption.
