Crawlspace Cleaning, Maintenance, and Mold Prevention

THE SERUM SYSTEM The Serum System is a two-product system that redefines the process of remediating indoor air quality and organic contamination in structures. The system consists of Serum 1000 and Serum 2000. Serum 1000 is step one of the system. Serum 1000 is the cleaner, remover of organic contamination on surfaces. It literally boils the contamination out of porous surfaces up into the generated foam. Once all contamination is no longer attached, given an hour to air dry, simply HEPA vacuum all surfaces to remove the loosened organic material. Once the organics have been removed, the surface will pass any clearance test. Serum 2000 is step two of the system. Serum 2000 is the long term protection against organic stain damage. Once the surface has been cleaned with Serum 1000, the Serum 2000 can be applied to provide the long term protection against organic stain damage. "The Serum System" consists of a new, patent pending method of organic matter removal, without the traditional labor requirements. The new revolutionary remediation system that reduces labor, turns projects faster and increases profits.

Eliminator® Foundation Vent Fan

Eliminator®

De-Humidistat (optional)

• Reduces moisture content and mold potential in crawl spaces, floor joists, flooring, and other support wood
• Circulates air in crawl space
• Removes radon gas
• Automatic operation
• Temperature or humidity activated
• Reduces potential for airborne mold infiltration into home
• Reduces termite potential

The Eliminator Foundation Vent Fan is a motorized fan designed to circulate fresh air in a home or building crawl space to eliminate cancer-causing radon gas and reduce moisture that can lead to mold formation and termite infestation. The Eliminator attaches to virtually any standard foundation vent. It is wired for automatic operation when the temperature exceeds 50oF. An optional de-humidistat activates the fan when humidity exceeds the owner-determined setting (20%–80%) in conjunction with the built-in temperature control. The temperature control is shielded from the sun to prevent false readings that could lead to costly operation during cold weather.

Note: The de-humidistat is designed to be installed remotely, so it can be placed in the crawl space where moisture is most likely to accumulate.

Facts about radon, mold, and moisture.

­Radon
Radon is a radioactive gas that is considered to be a health hazard affecting indoor air quality worldwide. Radon gas is the second most common cause of lung cancer in the United States. One in fifteen homes in the U.S. has a high level of radon.­

Mold
According to a study by the Mayo Clinic, nearly all chronic sinus infections are a result of mold. Since up to 40% of the air we breathe in the home can come from the crawl space, mold in the crawl space means mold in the home. The EPA recommends to keep humidity levels in the crawl space to 40%–50% to reduce the likelihood of mold formation.

Moisture
Excess moisture in a crawl space can have serious consequences. Not only can it lead to mold formation, it also
increases termite potential and can increase the potential for rot in floor joists, cross members, and sub-flooring. Moisture level in wood should be less than 20%. In high humidity areas, that number can easily exceed 30%. To maintain safe moisture levels, experts recommend a plastic moisture barrier on the ground in combination with a vent fan such as the Eliminator.

How it Works

Specifications
Voltage	115 VAC
Amps	.60 Amps
Cubic Feet per Minute	100 CFM
Housing Material	Galvanized Steel
Number of Units Required	One per 1,000 square ft. of crawl space
Temperature Switch Operation	Above 50°F
De-humidistat (Optional)	Adjustable from 20%-80%
Mounting Plate Dimensions	14 3/8" X 6 7/8"

1. The Eliminator is attached to any standard foundation vent, and then wired to a 120v source.

2. Optional de-humidistat is placed in center of crawl space area.

3. When temperature in crawl space exceeds 50°F and/or when humidity exceeds de-humidistat setting, the Eliminator is engaged.

4. Moist air and radon gases are pulled from crawl space and replaced with fresh, outside air.

5. When thermostat or de-humidistat are satisfied, the Eliminator is deactivated.

Independent Test Results

“The Eliminator effectively reduces radon
gas and moisture levels in the typical
crawl space.”

Eliminator Foundation Vent Fans were installed in homes
with high wood moisture content in the 28% to 30%
range. Over a thirty day period, the moisture content was
measured at weekly intervals. Homes with the Eliminator
installed saw a reduction of moisture levels to as low as
16% and 17%. A wood moisture level of 20% or less is
considered ideal. Homes without the Eliminator showed no
reduction in moisture content.

"The Eliminator performed well, even under severe moisture
problem conditions… the amount of air moved is sufficient to
correct the problems present."

PORTABLE AIR SCRUBBERS

Portable Air Scrubbers have been specifically designed for remediation, restoration and abatement. These units allow you to clean and control the air in a work area without contaminating other area with dirty exhaust air. The uniquely designed filtration system with a 99.97% @ 0.3 micron HEPA filter make these units ideal for capturing smoke, fumes, mold spores, dust and other particulate, returning clean air back to the environment.
