Two Approaches, Very Different Results
When you discover mold in your home, you have two basic options: traditional remediation (tear it out) or VaPURE™ dry fog technology (treat it in place). Here's how they compare.
| Factor | Traditional Remediation | VaPURE™ Dry Fog |
|---|---|---|
| Time | 3-7 days | 4-6 hours |
| Demolition Required | Yes — drywall, flooring | None |
| Typical Cost | $10,000 – $30,000+ | 50-75% less |
| Coverage | Only visible areas | Entire structure |
| Hidden Mold | Must tear open to find | Fog reaches everywhere |
| Move Out? | Usually yes, for days | Same-day return |
| EPA Registered | Varies | Yes |
How Dry Fog Works
The VaPURE™ system creates a dry fog of microscopic particles (7.5 microns) — 350 times smaller than conventional treatment methods. These particles behave like a gas, filling every crack, cavity, and surface in your home. Because they're "dry," they won't damage electronics, fabrics, or finishes. The fog kills mold spores on contact and the second step, an antimicrobial coating, prevents regrowth.
