    General Overview

    We are proud to announce that Enviroshield has successfully passed the Mold Help Testing regimen with flying colors. Fortunately there are lots of products on the market to eliminate mold.  Not all pass Mold Help’s stringent testing protocol.  Enviroshield worked extremely well and has earned the Mold Help Seal of Approval.

    Benefits of EnviroShield

    To understand why EnviroShield is a superior product, it's important to first understand why mold thrives.  Mold requires four conditions to thrive: food; the right temperatures; oxygen; and moisture. So, eliminate one of the four and the mold will disappear, but that’s easier said then done!

    1. Molds eat just about everything, like wood; paper; leather; dry wall; even paint and dust!
    2. As for the right temperatures, unfortunately mold thrives in the same temperatures we do.
    3. Oxygen (fortunately) is all around us.
    4. Moisture ... that's the key!

    One of the most misunderstood problems is the control of moisture within a building.  Damaging moisture originates not only from outside of a building but also from the inside. Cooking, breathing, washing and drying clothes, gas stoves, furnaces, humidifiers and air conditioning all produce moisture.

    Solving moisture problems can often be expensive and time-consuming.  The first step to eliminate moisture is to perform an inventory of problems and to rank them in their order of impact.  Problems, like leaky pipes, that are easy and inexpensive to resolve should be addressed first. However water intrusion though foundation walls can be very expensive to repair.   Such problems often require major and costly repairs like exterior foundation coatings and costly excavations to install or replace clogged French drains.

    EnviroShield ™ offers an affordable  new technology:  Enviro-MT™ coatings which will not support the growth of mold regardless of moisture conditions.

    Other mold prevention products are inferior to Enviro-MT because they do not breathe: Enviro-MT allows  a slow water vapor transfer (WVT).  The slow or controlled release of water vapor pressure keeps the product to substrate bond secure and strong.  Plus the slow release of pressure will not push out the anti-microbial additives.

    Inferior coating products peel or blow off the substrate and leach their anti-microbial additives.  Once the anti-microbial dissipates, these inferior coatings  become food for mold.

    • Eliminates mold re-growth even if moisture is present;
    • Low per square foot material costs;
    • Low application costs … coat your sheetrock walls … don’t tear them down!!!!!!!!
    • Completely water-based technology: The water base of Enviro-MT allows the resin/catalyst system to bind with water in the substrate thereby becoming part of the substrate;
    • Moisture Tolerant/Breathable
      • 50 to 75% Water Vapor Transmission (WVT) reduction, up to 12 lbs;
      • Tolerant to 24 pounds WVT;
      • SAFE—Virtually no VOCs (Volatile  Organic Compounds);
      • Low Odor;
      • Wide Range of Colors; and
      • Easy Clean-up.


    EnviroShield Stops Mold Two Ways:

    1. contains an effective and safe non-leaching antimicrobial; and
    2. reduces water vapor transfer (WVT)

    We are proud to announce that Enviroshield has successfully passed the Mold Help Testing regimen with flying colors.

    If you are concerned about the presence of mold in your home or building, the number one priority should be to hire your own independent, proficiency certified mold inspector to conduct a complete and thorough assessment.

    However, you should also know, that in many instances, mold contaminated homes and buildings need to only eliminate the source of the mold and clean up the resulting contaminant.

    Mold spores are hardened containers, which possess all the DNA instructions needed to create new mold creatures, aerial eggs as it were. If they bump into dry walls they just rebound and go back to floating, but when they bump into wet walls they stick.

    Out of the broken open shell a single creature's body appears, then a groping arm grows from that body, a leathery hyphae, albino and clear, and then from that hyphae grows another, and another, and then many, many others more.

    These hyphae are used by molds to obtain nourishment.

    For some species it is the sulfur grains in concrete that are sought, in others it's the metals in paint, or the glue in wallpaper, or even, for one especially abundant species, found at some time in almost every house in northern temperate climates, it will be the actual antibiotic poisons that the wood they land on produces which they slurp up and use as food.

    The hyphae excrete enzymes that break down complex organic materials. All over your house these freshly appearing mold creatures will plug into the walls via their hyphae.

    Testimonials

    Ralph DePillo  ... "Within the past few years we’ve finished our basement and added a bedroom and den and workshop and have absolutely no problem with mold.  I can’t believe it ten years later and EnviroShield just  keeps on ticking!"

    Ann Montgomery ... "I had the basement treated with EnviroShield and overnight, it eliminated the dampness and the smell of  mold."

    Gregory P. Centeio II  ... The day after you came to our house and applied the first coat, my wife and I noticed the smell to be gone. We  had a company give us a price on fiberglass panels costing $45,000.00 and they would not guarantee against mold or odor. My family and I can now go into the basement without becoming ill and have now started renovating the basement to be used as an office space and a family room/play area. After seeing the results of your product, I plan to treat my home on Nantucket.

    Paul Jodice ... I am asthmatic and extremely allergic to mold!  Recently, I had to vacate my previous office space because of a severe mold infestation ... Enviro-MT got rid of the mold and odor.  But the best part was EnviroShield stopped any moisture from seeping through the foundation.  I am now adding a workshop, bathroom and family room to previously wasted space."
