Industrial hygienists (IH) are specialists who tend to approach indoor mold conditions primarily from a scientific perspective.  They are trained to take air samples and surface samples of visually apparent mold.  These samples are then analyzed in a laboratory or occasionally on site.  

The IH will then take all the information gathered and write a mold remediation protocol for their client. The mold remediation protocol contains in writing the recommended scope of work necessary to bring the interior air quality to within acceptable levels.  The client then gives that written protocol to a qualified mold remediation company, such as SERVPRO of Medford/Everett, to remediate the mold following the protocol set forth by the IH.

How Does Sponge Blasting Work?

Pressurized Feed Units propel Sponge Media abrasives to the surface. A centralized control panel provides adjustment of blast pressure and media feed rate allowing for precise control.

Over 25 different types of media Sponge Media are available. Each with a different abrasive or cleaning agent bonded in the Sponge.  

Sponge media flattens on impact, exposing abrasive, cleaning, abrading and profiling the surface.

Sponge cells expand, creating vacuum – pulling in debris

Media traps hazardous particles that would have become airborne and rebound with low energy; making cleanup and containment easy.

Recyclers clean and classify sponge media for reuse, separating media from oversized debris and fine waste.  95% of media is recycled.

Myth: SUVs, pickups and other large vehicle are safe to drive through floodwaters.

Fact: Just two feet of water can float most vehicles and, if the water is moving quickly, vehicles can be swept away. If you come to a flooded road, turn around and go another way.

Myth: Flash floods only occur near streams and rivers.

Fact: Flash floods also occur in areas where no streams are present, even urban areas.

Myth: You can walk through floodwaters as long as the water is not too deep.

Fact: Always avoid floodwaters. Just six inches of swiftly moving water can sweep you off your feet. If you come upon a flowing stream where water is above your ankles, stop, turn around and go another way. 

Surprisingly, ice forming in a pipe does not typically cause a break where the ice blockage occurs. It’s not the radial expansion of ice against the wall of the pipe that causes the break. Rather, following a complete ice blockage in a pipe, continued freezing and expansion inside the pipe causes water pressure to increase downstream -- between the ice blockage and a closed faucet at the end. It’s this increase in water pressure that leads to pipe failure. Usually the pipe bursts where little or no ice has formed.
