After water damage, antimicrobial treatment prevents mold colonization in the 24-72 hour window. We use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants documented with registration numbers and application logs.
EPA-registered antimicrobials kill bacteria, viruses, and mold spores on treated surfaces. Hospital-grade quaternary ammonium and hydrogen peroxide-based products are standards. Each application documented with EPA registration number, date, treated area, technician.
Cat 2 (gray water) and Cat 3 (black water) cleanups REQUIRE antimicrobial treatment per IICRC S500. Cat 1 left wet beyond 48 hours becomes Cat 2 by definition.
