The 3 Ds: Detection, Decontamination & Documentation
Detection
Innovative Decon Solutions utilizes the latest environmental equipment for the most advanced inspection, testing and detection of contaminants in indoor air environments.
IDS offers a wide variety of investigative services, ranging from infrared investigations to microbial sampling. Findings are analyzed and documented with confidential, comprehensive reporting techniques.
Infrared Thermography is the only proven, non-destructive and complete method for identifying and troubleshooting moisture problems and energy loss. Infrared investigations pinpoint moisture intrusion, moisture retention, missing, damaged or wet insulation, leaking air ducts and water piping, all of which can lead to mold infestation. Infrared can also identify insect infestations and electrical problems that are not visible to the naked eye.
A Delmhorst Moisture Meter is also used to confirm the building materials’ moisture measurements.
Bio Reveal Microbial Detection SystemSure II provides quantitative measurements of mold and bacteria in 15 seconds by detecting the presence adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule found in all living things. This process is also performed during the decontamination process as a quality control measure.
Microbial sampling is most commonly used at the end of the decontamination process to document successful completion of decontamination. IDS performs air sampling, swabs, or tape lifts, as dictated by protocol requirements, that are analyzed by an independent laboratory. IDS also recommends that all customers obtain their own clearance tests at the conclusion of a decontamination project.
Decontamination
Innovative Decon Solutions' D-CON System® utilizes patented revolutionary products and unique application techniques. The IDS decontamination process is the most cost effective and time efficient solution for microbial and contaminants. The IDS decontamination solution is non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
The decontamination process is customized for each project to meet protocol requirements, and includes any or all of the following:
Step 1:
Demolition – All damaged materials are removed from the building prior to decontamination. A specific protocol is followed in order to prevent cross-contamination of non-affected areas.
Step 2:
Aerolization – this application method generates a fine mist of the decontamination formula throughout the contaminated area. The mist is able to penetrate bacteria and mold that are normally unreachable within a structure.
Foaming Application – this application method is utilized for specific building materials and conditions requiring greater contact time and longer residual values.
IDS can perform decontamination in sections based on HVAC zones if a structure needs to remain partially open during the process. IDS can also set up containment barriers to allow maximum utilization of the property and minimize any inconvenience to the client.
Step 3:
HEPA Filtration – HEPA, High Efficiency Particulate Air filtration devices are used to remove allergens and neutralized mold spores or bacterium from the air after the treatment. HEPA filtration units can be placed within the decontaminated area to establish a negative air environment.
Step 4:
HEPA Vacuuming – All horizontal surfaces, such as carpets and floors, are vacuumed in order to remove any mold spores or bacterium debris from the treatment.
Documentation
At the conclusion of every decontamination project, IDS provides a complete documentation of the project. This includes a project summary of all test results and all of the IDS documents used during the project.
All documentation and testing results are held in strictest confidence. |
