Mold On the Joists in Basking Ridge, NJ
We equipped our personal protective equipment and began inspecting the basement. Within minutes, we found mold growth on the joists.
Humidity Will Do That -Basking Ridge, NJ
It's not enough just to find the mold growth and treat it, we need to understand what caused the mold growth to begin with. That way, we can properly and effectively treat it and prevent its return. In this case, extremely high humidity levels in the basement caused the mold growth.
First Apply Maps 1 -Mold Solutions by Cowleys
First, we applied MAPS 1, which is an EPA registered antimicrobial solution that targets mold on a DNA level and kills it instantly.
Now for MAPS 2 -Mold Solutions by Cowleys
After MAPS 1 is applied, we scrubbed away all the mold and applied MAPS 2. MAPS 2 is a patented sealant that encapsulates mold and renders it harmless. MAPS 2 is also moisture sensitive and will reactivate once it gets wet to prevent future mold growth.
Control the Humidity Levels in Basking Ridge
Finally, we installed a Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity levels. These commercial dehumidifiers are specially made for the high humidity levels in crawl spaces and basements.
Gone for Once and for All Thanks to Mold Solutions by Cowleys
Now that MAPS 1 & 2 has been applied and the humidity levels are now at a safe level, mold will no longer be an issue.
