Many experts feel that microbial growth will become the number one Indoor Environmental problem. There are two approaches to solving this hazard. One is to ensure that the moisture required for microbial growth is no longer present; the other is to treat the area in question with a chemical to kill the growth. Power Vac BELFOR is a licensed applicator of two systems that deal with microbial growth. The Aegis Microbe ShieldTM is a unique chemistry that permanently bonds to surfaces to dramatically reduce mould. Almost all other pesticides (antimicrobials, fungicides, disinfectants, sanitizers, etc.) act by leaching, volatilizing into the air, or dissolving in a liquid. Since Aegis does not dissipate or leach, it can't be absorbed by the organism (or by you). Instead it bonds to a surface and when the microbe comes in contact, it mechanically ruptures the cell membrane of the organism.

The KEFA Biorid Micropore System deactivates present mould and prevents future growth by maintaining a dry surface environment that is not conducive to multiplication. We continue to use traditional antimicrobial treatments in some instances, keeping in mind that once they leached, volatilized or dissolved; they have lost their effectiveness. Also once spent, they may contribute to the problem since water is left in the treated area.
