Recently, I got a call from a homeowner in Bayville, NJ who had a ranch house on the water. The homeowner was selling their home and during the home inspection a mold air sample test was done and it showed higher than normal levels of mold in one particular room. Once a mold test shows high levels it is the sellers' responsibility to have a mold treatment done. I mean, who wants to inherit a home with mold in the house?
So I put on my Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and inspected the room. Wearing a PPE is vital when treating mold in a home. If you’re not wearing any PPE, you’re inviting all of those mold spores to settle on your clothing, the area you’re cleaning, your shoes (allowing mold to travel to other areas in your home), in your eyes, and up your nose into your upper respiratory system. So that is why I’m wearing the funky looking suit.
I first treated with our MAPS MA-1 antimicrobial solution to kill any active mold spores. MAPS, which stands for Mold Abatement Polymer Solutions (say that 3 times fast), is an EPA registered multi-purpose antimicrobial solution that will target mold on a molecular level and kill it instantly. As soon as I fog with the Maps 1 solution, I wipe down all surfaces of visible mold growth. After that, I let the Maps 1 solution dry for approximately 30 minutes. Then I fog with our Maps 2 solution to seal all surfaces. MAPS 2 is a polymer sealant that encases the mold on all surfaces for years to come and eliminates any new mold spores that land on those surfaces. It turns out, in this case, the cause of the higher level mold resulted from the homeowner storing all of his boat seat cushion inside of that room. The boat cushions hold a high level of moisture which caused the mold. So now the house has been treated, the homeowner can continue with the closing process and will now store his boat cushions in an area away from his home.

Mold Impacts Closing Process in Bayville, NJ

Here we are in a basement below a storefront in downtown Red Bank, NJ. The new owners just purchased the property and at their inspection, the inspector noticed a few small areas of mold growth. Now, it’s not uncommon to find mold in a basement (in fact, it happens quite often). A lot of moisture exists in basements — usually, from condensation from when warm, moist air comes in contact with your cool basement walls and floor. The bad thing is once mold is exposed to water, it can quickly grow into colonies and cause property damage and severe health problems. So needless to say, this needed to be taken care of immediately.
Before I begin any type of treatment, I had to do an inspection first. Even though I know where the mold is occurring I must thoroughly inspect every area of the basement to properly determine the cause of the mold. So I put on personal protective equipment to protect me from the hazardous mold, grabbed my hygrometer and started my inspection. Turns out the reason why the property had mold is simple — the building had been closed up for so long without any proper ventilation which caused moisture to get trapped in the basement.
Now that the building will be occupied it will get a chance to be properly ventilated — now onto the treatment! I treated the entire basement with an EPA-registered antimicrobial solution called MAPS. MAPS stands for Mold Abatement Polymer Solutions and is broken down into two components, MAPS 1 and MAPS 2. MAPS 1 targets the molds DNA and kills it at the cellular level. Once MAPS 1 has been applied, I wait for it to dry and then apply the next component, MAPS 2. MAPS 2 is a special sealant that is moisture sensitive that encapsulates mold and will reactivate when it gets moist to prevent any future mold growth. This process offers a safe and efficient method to treat mold and prevent it from returning. Now the business owner can continue with his renovations and operate a healthy place of business.

This video shows the Cowleys Mold Solutions team in action in a crawl space in Hazlet, NJ. We are using our pump sprayers to apply our MMR stain remover, spraying and scrubbing each and every joist until the visible evidence of mold is gone. This particular procedure, since it is a bit on the messy side, is only used with mold growth on unfinished surfaces in non-living spaces like crawl spaces, attics, and unfinished spaces. In living spaces of the home we carefully apply the MMR stain remover with rags.
This particular mold project involved three muddy crawl spaces at a townhouse condominium complex in Hazlet with extensive mold growth that had taken hold and thrived in this dewey and dank netherworld ecosystem after a steam pipe ruptured. Once there is a water or moisture problem in a structure, mold will inevitably rear its ugly head.
Upon arriving on-site, we first contacted all of the affected unit homeowners. Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend that windows be left open to ensure proper ventilation and those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory issues temporarily leave.
Our technicians then prepared to work, donning their Tyvek coveralls and full-face respirators. We first sealed off the crawl space vents, an essential step for eliminating moisture build-up and ensuring that the crawl space stays dry. To combat the compromised air quality, we brought in our trusty DefendAir 5000 Industrial Grade Air Scrubber, a portable filtration system that removes contaminants from the air since we would be working an an enclosed area with a dense concentration of dangerous, potentially toxic, airborne mold spores.
Now the fun part. It was time to implement the three-part MoldExterm system.
Step One: Using electrostatic fogging, we apply an EPA-registered fungicide (MM1) that kills the mold on contact.
Step Two: We remove mold stains with our MMR stain remover. Even though the mold is completely destroyed, we don’t want to leave a single visual trace that there was once a mold problem. When the Mold Solutions team is done, the mold is erased off the face of the earth!
Step Three: Using electrostatic fogging, we apply our patented polymer sealant (MM2) that coats the beams and walls. This unique sealant is moisture sensitive and reactivates killing any future mold. With this sealant, the mold is gone for good! Cowleys is so confident in this technology that we offer a no returning mold guarantee.

Watch as Cowleys Technicians apply MoldExterm® Treatment to a home in Monmouth Beach, NJ. Here they are applying MM2, part 2 of a two-part system to kill mold and prevent its return.
What is in MM1 and MM2?Part 1 is an EPA registered, multi-purpose, anti-microbial based in quarternary ammonium salts. It is a bactericide, virucide, disinfectant, fungicide, cleaner, mildew stat and deoderizer.
Part 2 is our unique, proprietary, patented polymer sealer with Nano Technology.
This unique combination of ingredients significantly enhances the system's capabilities, making it extremely safe, effective and economical.

Mold Treatment in Monmouth Beach, NJ

With the level of annual rainfall and snow in New Jersey, we deal with wet ground and a high water table, the level at which the water and soil is completely saturated with water, throughout most of the year. All of this dangerous, property-damaging ground water is looking for any cracks or openings in the foundation to enter your crawl space. With this Ocean Township, NJ residence, there was a significant amount of ground water leaking into the craw space because of a crack in a crawl space block. And with this stagnant water pooled on the crawl space floor, mold growth soon followed.
