Mold treatment is more than cleaning visible spots. Bactronix identifies the moisture feeding the mold, removes contaminated material, and applies an antimicrobial that keeps it from coming back.

Why mold treatment matters
Mold thrives in dark, damp environments such as crawlspaces, basements, and poorly ventilated areas. Without proper treatment, mold spreads quickly through the air and into other parts of a home or business. Some people are sensitive to mold: exposure can cause nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation, and severe reactions can include fever and shortness of breath. People with chronic lung conditions may develop mold infections in the lungs.
Mold problems almost always trace back to excess moisture, whether from humidity, leaks, or poor drainage around the foundation. Effective mold treatment goes hand in hand with controlling that moisture at the source, so mold does not simply return after the visible growth is cleaned.

What is mold treatment?
Bactronix takes a science-based approach that goes beyond traditional cleaning or bleaching. The process begins with a certified test that measures the level of contamination and pinpoints problem areas. Certified technicians then apply BactroKill, an EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant that eliminates mold, bacteria, and odors at the microbial level, safe for people, pets, and the environment.
After disinfection, Bactronix applies BactroBlock, a long-lasting antimicrobial barrier designed to prevent future mold growth. The two-step system removes existing contamination and protects treated areas from re-infestation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use regular cleaning products on mold?
It takes more than a deep cleaning to remove mold. Scrubbing with an ordinary cleaning product can remove the visible mold, but the spores are still present and can regrow and spread quickly. Spores can develop into new mold within 24 to 48 hours and can spread rapidly through a home or business HVAC system. Professional mold remediation helps stop mold from returning and spreading.
Do all people react the same to mold spores?
No. Some people are sensitive to molds and can develop symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation. Severe reactions may include fever and shortness of breath, and people with chronic lung illnesses may develop mold infections in the lungs.
Why is it difficult to kill mold?
Harmful organisms form cell layers as they attach to a surface. The cells grow, divide, and intertwine to form a dense protective layer called a biofilm. That biofilm shields the organism and prevents most sanitizers from infiltrating and killing it.
What makes the Bactronix method better for killing mold?
The BactroKill process is applied through an advanced electrostatic delivery system that reaches the treated area evenly. It creates a surface friction effect that weakens and ruptures the protective biofilm, letting the antimicrobial agent infiltrate the cell and destroy the organism.
Why don't all companies offer a warranty on their mold remediation?
Bactronix uses a proven process called Bactronizing, a “green” sanitizing method that uses nontoxic, biodegradable, EPA-registered solutions safe for human and animal environments. That is why Bactronix can offer a 12-month warranty.
