Structural Pasteurization
The allergens that trigger asthma are many and include dust mites, pollens, mold, second hand smoke, various chemicals, pet dander, cockroaches, and foods. Our patented ThermaPureHeat® process can kill the dust mites, mold, and cockroaches which cause household allergens while HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers remove airborne allergens and dust.
The process penetrates deep into your pillows and mattresses, walls, and other inaccessible places killing the pests and mold which may be residing there. The process will also dry-out your structure, eliminating the living environment that is favorable to insects and for mold growth. You’ll breathe easier in a house cleaned with ThermaPureHeat®!
