How do we, as builders, prevent mold growth?

The only effective way to prevent mold problems on inaccessible surfaces, such as wall cavities and crawl spaces, is to treat them before they are sheathed, sheetrocked or covered.

Over the last decade, a number of technologies have been brought to bear to address mold growth on various porous building materials commonly found in the construction market.  Several of these have been used to an extent over the past three years and have been considered to provide a certain minimal degree of effectiveness in the field.

As builders and manufacturers have struggled with the need to combat mold growth, they have searched for a solution.  The “first generation” of products came from several distinct active ingredient components and each provides a specific benefit to address the problem.  Two of the more common technologies from this era are Fosters 42-42 and E-Coat 8612.

Mold Care Pros specializes in mold and mildew remediation and new construction pretreatments to prevent mold altogether.  Our experience and research has led us to the next generation solution that combines best-of-breed technologies to produce the perfect synthesis of the longevity of inorganic solutions and the effectiveness of the liquid-based solutions.  Studies have demonstrated an exceptional degree of mold reduction on various building materials using this solution.  At the same time, studies have shown that the efficacy which is estimated to be greater than 70 years is not affected by continuous soaking in water or exposure to sunlight.  

In short, this superior performance solution is sprayed on the building materials as the home or commercial building is being constructed and will kill any existing mold and will prevent mold growth in the future.  It’s so effective there is a 25 year mold remediation warranty that comes with the application.  The solution is environmentally friendly and has no side effects, a very important concern of the homeowner. 

Mold Care Pros is a division of Cape Cod Pest Pros which gives us the unique qualifications and experience of working with treatment solutions for the past 12 years.  Builders across New England are working with us to give their home buyers the long term protection and piece of mind that mold need not be a concern in their home.

The construction industry faces a major challenge in dealing with mold and has been looking for solutions for several years.  The goal of providing a safe, effective and inexpensive antimicrobial treatment to work on the initial raw materials and produce a continuing effect under both normal and intrusive circumstances for the functional life of the home can now be achieved.  By combining next-generation advances with the benefits of first generation antimicrobial technology we found a superior solution for tomorrow’s builders.
