Yes! By all means it depends on what mold is present. Again this was after there eradication when there should be no viable mold according to there sales pitch. The samples I took were viable and non-viable swabs and tape lifts and both viable and non-viable air samples.

The results speak for themselves. If you want to believe that this system works, fine! Feel free to recommend this service to all of your clients. I on the other hand have dealt with this on several occasions and never seen it work. I am trying to give a heads up to any members not familiar with this system.

The tenants of the building have also been having there own IH do his own investigation and he also has come to the same conclusion.

Believe what you will, but be forewarned.

Had the same experience. Yes, it was the same company. If the mold is not cleaned up, my Industrial Hygienist will not give me the clear.
It might best be used in a few cases, I have ran across, where the visible mold can not be found by anybody. But just ozoning alone will not work if cleaning is not done afterwards.
