Hey guys, Jim here with the Twin Home Experts. We get questioned all the time
on what is fogging? What are the benefits of fogging? And how do you fog? Wo we're
gonna go ahead and answer that right now.
Here at the Twin Home Experts were big believers in fogging. Now fogging is used for a couple
different issues in a property such as mold contamination as well as odor
removal but primarily what we use here in the Twin Home Experts is the B and G
model 2600 it's an amazing fogger. This piece of equipment is intended for
certain amount of products you can't just use any products always read the
label to use will depend on if this is going to be acceptable or not. So a
couple features here on this B and G fogger, 110-volt, it has an adjustable
setting here. So if you want a harder mist, a lighter mist, you want to shut it off
during the fog. You have control here. Here's a switch right here. You'll be putting
your chemical pretty easy. Any time you're using a fogger always have a mask because
you're dealing with microbial. So we use EPA approved type products. So this
type of mask, along with some rubber gloves, eyewear always important, and a
tyvek suit alright. And now this particular model is we use it for a
direct point. So if we're dealing with a kitchen sink, for example, we'll utilize
it and fog directly underneath that. We have another fogger that we use and
I'm going to point you over to Dave he's actually in Santa Monica right now
fogging utilizing our hurricane fogger. So I'll take you to him right after this
episode here okay. So this here I'm going to go ahead and show you what the mist
looks like it's going to be a little loud and show you what it looks like
for the purpose of this video I went ahead and just applied water so you can
kind of get an idea of what the mist looks like so here we go.
an application underneath the vanity sink of kitchen sink so this is what you
want to do
let's head back and let's go over some of the benefits. One of the benefits of
fogging are again if you have any microbial growth that came from a
wall or floor and it's cross-contaminated into the indoor breathing space, the mist,
the antimicrobial what it does is it gets into the air it adds weight into
the air and it brings all of those spores down to the floor or the surface.
That's a great benefit, another benefit of using a fogger is utilizing it inside
your HVAC systems your duct systems amazing for that. So you can go to your
return, turn on the air fan, inject it in your return, and it'll displace or
disperse throughout your entire venting system. Now some of the questions we get
asked is can I be in the house while you're doing it? Absolutely not. Especially if
you're using an antimicrobial you have to allow that fogging to disperse
throughout the house and you wouldn't be able to come in for four to six hours.
Again depending on how aggressive the misting has been displaced in the house.
Now if you're just doing a room or a bathroom an isolated area you can be in
the house you just couldn't get inside those other areas again another four to
six hours upon completion of fogging. How much does fogging cost? We get that
question all the time. You know it varies. If it's going to be underneath
the sink and you're gonna do a wipe down you know we've done it as low as $350. For
a whole house fogging, and a decontamination, deodorizing you know
depending on the size of the square footage how high the ceilings are we've
done whole house cleaning for highest $13,000. So there's a big range
there it really just depends on type of chemical we're using, anti microbial,
square footage of the home. Okay well I'm gonna go ahead and now
send you over to Dave in Santa Monica. He's using our hurricane fogger. Alright
folks so once we vacuum we wipe all the walls down get all the dust and
particulates out that's underneath the refrigerator then we're ready for a
fogging system along with the enzyme treatment. For me personally doing this
for over 20 years and performing over 5,000 mold jobs the enzyme treatment is
awesome why it's non-toxic it gets into the not only knocking down the mold
spores but it does a good job with dealing with mycotoxins most products
will not remove mycotoxins. So this is a quick demonstration here on what the
fogging, the enzyme fogging treatment looks like in action.
Now you can see how that's just gonna rotate. So as we're doing that, that's
getting in all the furniture, pillows, flooring, carpet, all the registers. It
does a great job with giving yourself a brand new indoor air quality that makes it
much, much healthier to breathe. After it's all done then a third party
environmentalists would come in and do some air tests to confirm that our work
is completely clean that offers you peace of mind as well as a certificate
that your home is mold-free. Like this, give us thumbs up, and make sure you
