These homeowners in Belmar, NJ recently had their roof replaced because of roof leaks. During the renovation, they found mold growth in the attic from water intrusion. Fortunately, the roof replacement fixed the underlying water intrusion problem, but there was still dangerous mold growth that needed to be removed. 

As is often the case, there were no water-damaged building materials, so there was no need for any massive tear-out and renovation. Instead, we could efficiently and effectively chemically treat and kill the mold in less than a day, saving thousands of dollars on unnecessary construction. We first treated the affected areas by applying our EPA-registered anti-microbial product called MAPS 1. This application attacks mold on a cellular level and kills it instantly.

We then scrubbed away the mold and applied MAPS 2, which is our patented sealant that encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders the mold non-allergenic and harmless. MAPS 2 is also moisture-sensitive and reactivates whenever it gets wet to prevent the return of mold.

With the help of Mold Solutions by Cowleys, these homeowners did what makes the most sense when it comes to mold removal — treating the mold right where it sits and leaving perfectly good building materials alone. By doing so, the homeowners expediently and effectively got rid of the mold, and one less potential headache was resolved.
