November 21, 2005—To combat the heavy mold and other biological contaminants resulting from the flooding following Hurricane Katrina, Pascal’s Manale was fumigated by Sabre Technical Services. Pascal’s Manale is a New Orleans landmark restaurant that created the world famous dish, barbecue shrimp.
John Mason, president and CEO of Sabre Technical Solutions, says, “Sabre’s method of mold treatment is the only EPA registered product that uses a fumigant to decontaminate an entire structure.”
He explained that a structure fumigated with chlorine dioxide does not have to be stripped and gutted as is done with traditional mold remediation. Because the gas penetrates interior wall spaces and is effective on hard, porous and non-porous surfaces, it is not necessary to remove mold-affected areas of a structure. Moreover, the fumigation process is complete in one day, allowing for rapid recovery and rebuilding of compromised structures. Chlorine dioxide fumigation removes mold from the rebuilding equation, Mason points out.
Chlorine dioxide is a micro biocide that has been used for disinfection and sterilization in the food and drinking water industries for more than 70 years, according to Sabre Technical. It does not form toxic byproducts, is environmentally friendly, and leaves no residual toxicity. Chlorine dioxide gas penetrates into all surfaces, including interior wall cavities, porous surfaces, carpets, ducting, and insulation. The treatment eliminates the need for traditional “rip and replace” mold remediation and substantially reduces the cost and duration of renovation, says Sabre Technical. Sabre Technical Services is part of BioONE Solutions LLC, an affiliate of Giuliani Partners LLC.
