Why Inspect when we protect?

A revolutionary system with technologically advanced mold control products for the treatment of and prevention of mold in existing structures.

As the public becomes aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health problems and symptoms, including allergic reactions, concern about exposure to mold indoors has been increasing.

Since mold requires water to grow, it is important to prevent moisture problems in buildings, which can have many causes, including uncontrolled humidity. Some moisture problems in buildings have been linked to changes in construction practices during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Some of these changes have resulted in buildings that are tightly sealed and lack adequate ventilation, potentially leading to moisture buildup. Building materials, such as drywall, may not allow moisture to escape easily. Moisture problems may include roof leaks, landscaping or gutters that direct water into or under the building, and unvented combustion appliances. Delayed maintenance or insufficient maintenance is also associated with moisture problems in schools and large buildings as well as portable classrooms and other temporary structures.

Infrared Thermal Imaging

Finding the source of a water leak can be costly and frustrating.
GOT M Insurance recommends the use of Infrared Thermal Imaging equipment along with a state of the art Moisture Detecting System to help determine the source of leaks and moisture. That way we can have the problem solved quickly, while only spending a MINIMAL amount of time and money.
Highly sensitive Infrared Thermal Imaging gives our policyholders state of the art testing, while causing the least amount of damage to their property, documenting and fixing the problem right the first time!

Betanix Xperts Professional Services uses Infrared Thermal Imaging equipment.

The mode of action for Betanix® Jobsite is that of a metabolic inhibitor. In the case of fungi and molds it causes a breakdown in the normal feeding cycle of these organisms. And, since the active ingredient in Betanix® Jobsite never breaks down, as normal moisture changes occur in the wood over time, it continues to kill mold as it's drawn deeper into the wood, providing long-lasting protection.

The Five Minute Solution

Unlike other products which take hours to be effective, facilities and surfaces treated with Betanix® Jobsite can be used within 5 minutes of treatment. By injecting its foam application through drywall Betanix® Jobsite minimizes drywall damage caused by tearing out drywall that is not damaged by mold. However, drywall damaged by mold still has to be removed even when using the Betanix® Jobsite injection system.

How does it work?

In order for fungal and mold spores to colonize, surface moisture is required. This same moisture mobilizes the active ingredients in Betanix® Jobsite, which forms a film of active ingredients that become available once the spores try to feed on the substrate. Betanix® Jobsite applied as foam not only prevents any further activity and growth, but will penetrate treated cellulose surfaces to various depths dependent on the moisture in the surface and the wood species.

What can it be used for?

Betanix® Jobsite applied as foam for treatment against all types of mold. Mold and Decay fungi can infect and rapidly destroy wood and other surfaces where there are moisture problems. Some molds and fungi can actively transport moisture from the ground or a leak to wood and other surfaces of lower moisture content in efforts to expand the colonization of the fungi. Betanix® Jobsite is highly toxic to mold and decay fungi and will kill the mold and fungi present on contact and protect against future infections.

Preventing the problem of mold

Where you have continual exposure to moisture and heat you have areas that are vulnerable to mold. Therefore, problems that may have led to the infestation or that may do so in the future must be corrected. This includes fixing moisture leaks, providing adequate ventilation and moisture barriers.

Structural Applications

Foam
Betanix® Jobsite be applied as foam in several ways. In wall voids, you can inject through the drywall, which allows the foam to contact the drywall and wood surfaces of the studs in the wall or target area. Betanix® Jobsite also can be applied as foam directly to surfaces, applied to joints and injected into void areas such as studded and block walls. Where possible, place foam between wood joints or abutting wood surfaces. However, foam is not to be used as a soil treatment technique. The foam should be of a consistency that adheres to the surface, minimizing run-off.

Technical information

The ONLY EPA Registered mold eliminator (killer) (product) (treatment) (system)
Betanix® Jobsite is a unique EPA registered product for preventative and remedial treatment against mold and wood destroying fungi that can be applied as a solution or as foam.

Active Ingredients
The active ingredient in Betanix® Jobsite is a boron compound, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate. One of the benefits of this compound is its chemical stability over time. It does not break down thus providing long-lasting protection and residual control.

Will NOT Corrode Metals
Betanix® Jobsite will not corrode metals normally used in construction. This includes ferrous metals, galvanized metals, screws and nails. Betanix® Jobsite will not affect electrical wiring either, but it is recommended that applications be performed before wiring is in place. If electricity is connected ensure the power is turned off before applying the product.

What stinks?
Fungi, mildews, mold and wood rots are the result of either high moisture present in the wood (wood rots) or lack of adequate air circulation (ventilation) in the case of mildews and molds. A 'mustiness' or damp odor may be associated with these conditions. When Betanix® Jobsite is applied, the increased moisture may enhance this odor. When possible, consider using fans or increasing ventilation to reduce the odor.

Preventing Allergic Reactions
When mildew and mold fungi are present, the spraying of areas where there is active growth of the fungi may cause some spores of the fungi to become airborne. Mold spores can cause reactions in people allergic to these organisms. Make sure applications are performed at the recommended pressures, or consider using paint on applications to areas of active growth to reduce the possibility of airborne spores.

Steps to Success (or Prep Steps)
Betanix® Jobsite should be applied only to bare, unsealed wood, drywall, plywood (and all other engineered wood products) and other cellulose materials where an intact water repellent barrier such as paint, stain or a sealer is not present. Dirt, debris and any existing water repellent finish must be removed to allow absorption of Betanix® Jobsite into the wood. Allow the wood to dry before applying the product. Treated wood can be machined, shaped, painted and glued.
