Mold Remediation in Grand Blanc, MI: How Dry Fog Saved This Family’s Health, Without Tearing Out Walls
A Real Mold Remediation Story from Grand Blanc, Michigan
When a family in Grand Blanc, MI moved into their new home, they were focused on creating a healthy space for their child, who has an immune deficiency. What they didn’t expect was to discover elevated levels of toxic airborne mold in their 2,800 square foot basement, even though there had been no visible water damage or leaks.
That’s where we came in.
At Pure Maintenance of Michigan, we were called to test the home and provide a non-invasive mold remediation solution. The results? A safe, fast, full-home mold elimination, without tearing out drywall or moving furniture.
What Kind of Mold Was Found?
Our initial testing revealed elevated levels of:
- Penicillium
- Cladosporium
- Aspergillus
These are what we refer to as organic molds. They thrive in humid environments, and in this case, the basement humidity measured at 75%, which is extremely high. This level of humidity created a breeding ground for airborne mold spores, even though the basement had never experienced a flood.
What Is Dry Fog Mold Remediation?
Instead of the traditional rip-and-replace method, we used our EPA-approved Dry Fog technology, which:
- Releases particles just 0.07 microns wide, small enough to penetrate surfaces and neutralize mold spores in the air and in porous materials like drywall and furniture
- Combines industrial-strength hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, which safely dissolve the mold cell wall
- Leaves no residue, and breaks down into water and air within 40 minutes
- Allows the family to re-enter their home in under an hour
This is chemical-free, demolition-free mold remediation, ideal for families, especially those with kids, pets, or respiratory concerns.
Why Was the Entire Home Treated?
While the basement showed the highest spore count, tests also detected elevated levels of mold in the upstairs living areas. Given the child’s immune sensitivity, the parents wanted a zero count on the mold test, so we treated the entire home.
The fog reached into:
- Walls
- Vents
- Furniture
- Air ducts
- Bedrooms and living spaces
No furniture had to be moved. No walls were opened. No mess was left behind.
What If Mold Had Been Behind the Walls?
In this case, the mold hadn’t penetrated behind the drywall, but if it had, we would’ve brought in one of our trusted tear-out partners. After removing and replacing the drywall, we’d follow up with our dry fog process to completely neutralize remaining spores and prevent re-growth.
This dual approach is ideal for flooded basements, leaking foundations, or long-term humidity issues.
“So… You’re Telling Me There’s Mold in My Walls?”
A Moldy Chat Between Rachael and Frank the Mold Guy
RACHAEL:
Okay Frank, be honest with me. Is my basement secretly trying to kill me?
FRANK:
Well, Rachael, I wouldn’t say “kill,” exactly. But if your basement were a Tinder date, I’d say swipe left. Fast.
RACHAEL:
Great. So what’s the diagnosis, Doctor Doom?
FRANK:
We ran the air tests — and congrats! You’ve won yourself a lovely cocktail of Penicillium, Cladosporium, and Aspergillus.
RACHAEL:
Is that Latin for “I’m about to spend thousands of dollars and rip out my drywall”?
FRANK:
Normally, yes. But we do things a little differently. We use dry fog — not a sledgehammer.
RACHAEL:
Dry fog? That sounds like something Gwyneth Paltrow would sell for $299 a jar.
FRANK:
Honestly? It does sound like a bougie spa treatment. But this one kills mold instead of your bank account.
RACHAEL:
How does it work? Do I need to evacuate my plants, my dog, my grandmother?
FRANK:
Nope. Just step out for about 45 minutes while we fog your house with a super-fine mist made of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar.
RACHAEL:
Wait… you’re cleaning my house with salad dressing?
FRANK:
Technically, yes. But this is industrial-strength salad dressing. The kind that kicks mold in the spores and doesn’t apologize.
We end mold problems in Grand Blanc and the nearby cities of: Burton, Goodrich, Flint, Lake Fenton, Davison, Holly, Fenton, Swartz Creek, Linden, Hadley, Ortonville, Beecher, Mount Morris, Gaines, Davisburg, Genesee, and Atlas.
RACHAEL:
So no drywall removal? No hazmat suits? No men with clipboards talking about “moisture migration”?
FRANK:
Nope. Just fog, science, and a faint smell of vinaigrette for about an hour. After that, you’re good to go.
RACHAEL:
What about all my furniture? Do I need to haul it into the yard like I’m filming an episode of Hoarders?
FRANK:
Leave it where it is. The fog gets into fabrics, couches, air ducts, your teenager’s sock pile — everything.
RACHAEL:
And the mold… it just dies?
FRANK:
Like a vampire in the sun. The fog breaks down the mold’s cell wall — the little guys collapse on themselves. It’s kind of beautiful. In a biological warfare kind of way.
RACHAEL:
What if I do have mold behind the walls?
FRANK:
Then we call in the drywall hit squad. They’ll do the tear-out, and we’ll fog afterward to make sure nothing survives. Not even mold’s ghost.
RACHAEL:
Okay, you’re either a genius or a very enthusiastic scam artist.
FRANK:
That’s what my ex said. But hey, she no longer has mold either, so… still a win.
RACHAEL:
Alright, salad fog it is. Make it rain.
FRANK:
Music to my ears. Let’s de-funk your funk.
