Q: What is ozone?
A: Ozone is a pale
blue unstable gas that is very active. It is an unstable
molecule consisting of 3 atoms; whereas normal oxygen has 2
atoms of oxygen. Because the ozone molecule is so unstable,
it quickly breaks away from the other oxygen atoms. This
lone ozone atom goes in search of other atoms. If it finds a
carbon or a sulfur molecule, it will break into that
molecule destroying it in the process. Since all pollutants
described are carbon based, OZONE is the answer.
Q: Can ozone hurt me?
A: Yes, if you are not
trained and experienced! High levels of ozone can injure and
irritate breathing in humans. All Medallion technicians wear
protective clothing and are qualified to operate and conduct
ozone shock treatments. The EPA has determined that the
highest level of safe ozone is 0.05 ppm. Medallion generates
ozone at lethal levels exceeding 20.0 ppm during the "ozone
blasting." This is why no people, pets or plants can remain
in the home or building during our treatments. A typical
treatment averages 3-5 hours in length.
Q: Using
Medallion’s technologies, what do you treat and remove?
A: We remove the
following using our technologies: toxic molds, smoking
odors, animal odors, urine & feces odors, cooking odors and
obnoxious smells, toxic bacteria, viruses, germs, dust mites
& their feces, yeast, paint and carpet off-gassing, mildew
and smoke odor distress. In some cases, technicians are
required to use fungicides, chemicals and removal techniques
prior to the secondary ozone shock treatment. Scientific
studies show that these indoor air pollutants can cause
humans to have moderate to severe health reactions.
Q: How long does
an Ozone Shock Treatment or Mold Remediation take?
A: A normal ozone
shock treatment typically takes 3-5 hours to conduct. If
mold or severe pet odors are present, it can take a bit
longer to treat. However, one can expect treatment to never
take more than 24 hours unless requested.
Q: I have MOLD in my
house! Why should I choose Medallion?
A: There are several
reasons! Medallion technicians are certified and able to
conduct mold inspections and sampling (swab and air) with
ease and at an affordable cost. Whether the mold lab results
are available from a certified mold inspector or from
Medallion, Medallion can provide clients with a timely and
cost effective estimate that includes mold removal using the
latest remediation techniques and methodologies, coupled
with the use of pure ozone. This is what we call our
“one-two punch.” Not only does Medallion’s methodologies
remove and kill mold, they clean the air and remove other
harmful indoor pollutants in one swoop. All of this is
provided for a fraction of the cost of traditional
remediation firms.
Q: What does an “Ozone Shock
Treatment” or mold remediation cost?
A: Depending on the
situation, costs can run from $295 for an apartment ozone
shock treatment all the way to a few thousand for mold
remediation and treatment. Generally our prices are a
fraction of most competitors because we own this proprietary
methodology. Please see price list for further details.
Q: Once ozone is
introduced into a closed environment, how do technicians
remove it from the indoor environment?
A: All technicians
carry sophisticated measurement devices that measure the
levels of ozone. Wearing air masks and full body suits when
conducting a treatment, technicians are prepared for
whatever is thrown at them. Upon completion, technicians
open all windows and doors and evacuate the ozone into the
exterior environment using high-powered fans.
Q: I’ve heard about
ozone machines causing walls to yellow. Will this happen if
I use Medallion to treat my home or building?
A: No! Our Proprietary
High Powered Ozone Generators produce pure ozone with no
bi-products. Other manufacturers of ozone equipment produce
Nitrous Oxides which when mixed with moisture become Nitric
Acid. This is dangerous and can cause damage to a home or
belongings.
Q: Will there be a
smell after the ozone treatment takes place?
A: Most clients report
that the smell in the house, building, car, etc. smells like
a waterfall or has a “clean smell.” After 3-4 days, this
smell dissipates. All odors are removed.
Q: I know you treat
homes and commercial buildings, but do you treat anything
else?
A: Absolutely!
Medallion’s technicians have been known to treat airplanes,
vehicles, RV’s, boats, gyms, schools, storage centers,
offices, restaurants and bars, and on and on. If it is an
enclosed area where an odor or fungus can grow, we treat it!
