Boracare Mold/Whole House Treatment

Boracare Mold/Whole House Treatments

Kills and prevents mold. Protects the home. Guaranteed

Mold doesn’t just threaten homes. It’s threatening homebuilders.

Mold and its potential liability is one of the big threats to homebuilders. Courts have ruled that in cases where negligence or fraud is proved, the builder’s liability can stretch beyond a one-year warranty to an indefinite amount of time. Imagine being responsible for homes you built five, ten or even 20 years ago because of mold.

That’s why every home you build should be pretreated with Bora-Care with Mold-Care. It creates a protective barrier against mold, termites and other wood-destroying pests. Cost-effective, Bora-Care with Mold-Care is your solution.

In a brand new home, all materials contain water. For example, in the average 2000 square foot home, there is an average of five tons of water, and it can take six months to dry out.

Effects of Bora-Care with Mold-Care

Half of this piece of wood to the right was treated with Bora-Care with Mold-Care and the other half was left untreated. The wood was placed in a mold incubator for six months. As you can see, mold does not grow on the treated side, even as mold covers the untreated side of the same piece of wood.

Bora-Care® with Mold-Care®

Mold-Care is the industry’s leading weapon against mold. It acts as a surface-protectant, killing all forms of fungi, sanitizing and disinfecting the treated area. Bora-Care is the industry’s leading borate-based wood preservative, rendering treated wood impervious to termites and other wood destroying insects, as well as wood decay fungi. It actually diffuses into the wood where remains for the life of the wood, providing residual protection. When used together, they create a highly effective  solution to insects and mold. And it comes with a 25 year warranty for the pest company. There are guidelines to qualify for the warranty, so read the BoraShield warranty section to learn details.

Pest control companies apply Bora-Care® with Mold-Care® to

New Construction
When a home is being built, all wood is accessible. This is the perfect time to do a whole house Bora-Care with Mold-Care treatment. This whole house treatment protects all wood from mold, termites, carpenter ants and wood boring beetles, and even discourages general pests such as cockroaches. Bora-Care with Mold-Care diffuses into the wood and remains in the wood, delivering residual power for years of protection.
Water Damage
If a home has been damaged by water from leaking pipes, rain or flood waters, have your pest company apply Bora-Care with Mold-Care to all affected structural wood once damaged materials are properly cleaned out and dried. Wood decay and mold can begin to grow almost immediately. By applying Mold-Care, you kill existing mold and stop wood decay in its tracks. You also are protecting the wood in case of future flooding.

Apply to whole house or high-risk areas

A Bora-Care with Mold-Care treatment is a one-time preventative application that can be completed either during the new construction phase or applied post-construction in high-risk areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and crawl spaces.

Provides residual protection

Bora-Care with Mold-Care diffuses into wood and remains there for as long as the wood is in service, providing years of residual protection.

Creates a buffer zone

In an untreated home, flood damage can cause mold to grow within a week. The mold can be as devastating as the flood itself. Even in catastrophic conditions, Mold-Care will act as a retardant to mold growth, giving the homeowner more time to recover. It also disinfects and sanitizes, critical necessities in a water-damage situation.

Inhibits the growth of mold

Specifically designed to work with Bora-Care, Mold Care prevents the establishment of dry rot, wet rot and mold. Bora-Care adds additional residual protection against decay fungi and insect infestation. Bora-Care with Mold-Care can be applied to bare wood, plywood, particleboard, drywall and OSB. And it’s the best approach you can take against mold. Bora-Care with Mold-Care is designed to penetrate wood; it doesn’t just remain on the surface, but is absorbed into the interior of wood to protect it from the inside out.

The Science behind Mold Care

Mold-Care is the only EPA-registered product that will both kill and prevent mold. Combined with Bora-Care, it also kills and prevents decay fungi and wood destroying insects that share the same conducive conditions and actually cause much more damage.

Mold-Care is a specific quaternary ammonium compound called diecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (a cationic surfactant). This is negatively charged and has both a hydrophobic and hydrophilic component so that it ruptures mold and bacteria cell membranes. These compounds are actively used in hospitals as well as in the beer and food industries as sanitizers.

Use Mold-Care instead of other products which either have no EPA registration and can actually cause fungal decay and structural failure or which can off-gas poisonous components in wall voids and hot attics.
