VaPURE™ Dry Fog vs. Traditional Mold Remediation

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.

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.
