[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [31x2] | its supposed to put out over 11000 mg/hr of ozone or what they call aran air |
activated oxygen | |
BrianW 29-Dec-2004 [33] | It could be under the caulking in your tub, under contact paper in the cupboards (if you have it), or pretty much anywhere else it likes |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [34] | I think its behind the drywall |
Gregg 29-Dec-2004 [35] | It can be everywhere. Do you have sheetrocked walls down there, or just concrete? |
BrianW 29-Dec-2004 [36] | What is the good that ozone is supposed to do for you? |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [37] | in the basement since my basement is a finished basement |
BrianW 29-Dec-2004 [38] | never mind (scrolled back) |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [39] | Ozone is supposed to be very effective and destroying most organics and vocs |
Gregg 29-Dec-2004 [40] | Yup. Water and moisture is all it needs. Have you done much research on it (the mold)? |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [41x3] | Yeah alot |
I had the perfect effects for it | |
I got a clothes dryer, shower, and central heating unit in the basement and the dryer vents into a box of water (scrubber) | |
BrianW 29-Dec-2004 [44] | Water and moisture are hard to avoid in Seattle, that's for sure. |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [45] | The wet carpet and drywall is ideal for black toxic mold |
Gregg 29-Dec-2004 [46] | I hope the ozone works for you, but I imagine you'll need some industrial kind of cleanup to get rid of it. |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [47] | plus the water came in off the straw lain yard |
Gregg 29-Dec-2004 [48] | Internal venting for the dryer? |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [49x3] | Yes |
I need to fix that but the dryer is located under the stairs | |
thats where the 220 is | |
Gregg 29-Dec-2004 [52] | Wow. You should be a mold science lab. :-\ (Sorry, I know it's no joke) |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [53x6] | Yeah your right - its perfect |
My wife started complaining of the mold smell first | |
it would hit you when you went through the front door | |
I was just bothered with the contractors and figured I would deal with it all at the end | |
but that was too late | |
It took me awhile to decide between http://www.aranizer.com/and http://www.air-zone.com | |
Gregg 29-Dec-2004 [59] | As I understand it, it can lead to *serious* long term health issues. Be careful. |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [60] | Both of them have high output units |
Ammon 29-Dec-2004 [61] | I hadn't thought of mold being on the back side of Drywall... We had a flood in our place in Salt Lake. We replaced the carpet but the smell of mold never went away... |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [62x6] | Yeah I know that is what I'm worried about |
Yeah Ammon the back side of the drywall it prefers the most | |
You might find out where you seen it at and knock of a piece near the floor and look on the back for signs of mold | |
I purchased a germicide that will destroy all kinds of fungus and bacteria and is concentrated. | |
I haven't used it yet | |
mix like 2 ounces to a gallon or so of water | |
Ammon 29-Dec-2004 [68] | That's sad because I know the guy that owns the place and I KNOW he isn't going to replace the drywall. Whoever moved in/will move there is undoubtedly have some trouble with it. |
BrianW 29-Dec-2004 [69] | Paul - That's what we ended up doing. Don't forget to protect your face & skin, and ventilate where possible. |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [70x2] | Yeah I did alot of research on the net over this |
I found that you can rent foggers and solutions but that might create another allergen for someone in the house | |
Ammon 29-Dec-2004 [72] | Fortunately, I was only renting the upstairs portion so I didn't have to deal with the smell too much... |
[unknown: 5] 29-Dec-2004 [73x8] | These big ozone generators are hard to find locally - I wanted to just rent one |
But I'm gonna look into making a deal with my bro-in-law | |
He runs an autodealership | |
Maybe I can make a few bucks with it and decontaminate used cars | |
I'll just rent it out to him | |
You can actually by them for water purification also | |
and complete ductwork installed units | |
I always like to try new stuff - How I got into REBOL. :) | |
