Identify items that may need repair or replacement
Identify moisture intrusion areas and inspect non visible (in walls) for hidden mold
Provide clear answers on what type of mold, toxic or not, how much and why.

We do duct cleaning with the Rotobrush System. We remove dirt,mold, fungi, and other contiminates from the duct system.
Industry standards recommend that you have your air ducts inspected every 2 years for cleanliness, and have them cleaned, on average, every 5-7 years. Of course, this will vary with the conditions in your home.
By having your air ducts cleaned regularly, you'll help improve the indoor air quality in your home, and enhance the efficiency of your heating/cooling system, which may reduce energy bills.
Coastal-Service has combined their proven techniques with the patented ROTOBRUSH DUCT CLEANING SYSTEM. This advanced cleaning method thoroughly scrubs and vacuums your ducts. This eliminates the use of harsh chemicals such as sealers, leaving you with the assurance of having fresh, clean and virtually contaminant free air in your home or office. The powerful yet flexible Rotobrush easily cleans all types of air duct construction (e.g., flex duct, round metal ducts, square metal ducts, fiberboard) including right angle turns, reducers and multiple bends found in most types of duct systems.
What is Mold Remediation?
Remediation is the process of isolating, removing and/or cleaning materials with fungal contamination. This may be as simple as removing a small section of moldy sheetrock or completely remodeling an entire bath or basement. Also critical to the role of a remediator is to identify and remedy the source of moisture intrusion. Sometimes this will involve subcontracting work to plumbers, roofers, foundation specialist, etc.

| BLEACH MOLD MYTH EXPOSED
Chlorine Bleach (sodium hypochlorite 6%) does not kill mold. Why? Mold's hyphae (root structures) actually grow into wood and drywall like roots. The hyphae are not killed by bleach because bleach's ion structure prevents chlorine from penetrating into porous materials such as dry wall and wood. It stays on the outside surface, whereas mold has protected enzyme roots growing inside the porous construction materials. When you spray porous surface molds with bleach, the water part of the solution soaks into the wood while the bleach chemical sits atop the surface, gasses off, and thus only partially kills the surface layer of mold while the water penetration of the building materials fosters further mold growth.
Chlorine bleach causes long term breakdown of wood products like studs, sheathing, plywood, OSB, and other building materials over time. Chlorine Bleach is NOT a registered EPA mold killing product.
You can verify it yourself when you are unable to find an EPA registration number for killing mold on the label of any brand of chlorine bleach. Why not? Because it is not effective at killing mold as other EPA approved chemicals.
University Study Discovers Bleach is Ineffective at Killing Mold on Wood and Other Porous Surfaces
"While bleach is often recommended for remediation of surface mold on wood and other porous surfaces, our [university research study] study results illustrate that the treatment does not eliminate the surface microflora," is the conclusion of the Oregon State University study of the effects of chlorine bleach on mold growth on Douglas fir wood [an important timber crop in the state of Oregon]. The research study was conducted by Professor Jeffrey Morrell, Dept. of Wood Science, Oregon State University, as assisted by Adam Taylor [graduate research assistant] and Camille Freitag [Senior Research Associate], as published in Forest Products Journal, 54:4, 2004.
