Recent studies have increased our awareness to the dangers of microbial contamination within a home and workplace. Pro-Care is certified in mold remediation by the Indoor Air Quality Association. All of Pro-Care's remediation technicians are trained in the proper protocol to remediate mold-affected areas while protecting the inhabitants and the unaffected areas of your home or building from cross contamination. In addition to emergency services and reconstruction Pro-Care Inc. offers commercial dryer vent cleaning and high heat bed bug remediation. In the bed bug world, the fastest growing alternative to chemical warfare is high heat remediation. Essentially, equipment used to create heat in excess of 140 degrees Fahrenheit is brought into the home or business to raise the temperature in the affected units to approximately 125 degrees. The temperature is monitored constantly using penetrating and non-penetrating meters, while every surface ( and in some cases, sub-surfaces), including room contents in the unit, is heated to the target temperature of 125 degrees. Initially, as the heat rises, the active bed bugs are drawn out of" hiding" and become quite active. Before they can respond to the growing heat, they become lethargic (as they become dehydrated) and die. The dead bed bugs and eggs can be removed by vacuuming. The whole process usually takes six to eight hours. We have been in business since 1987 and have enjoyed great success as one of New England's most respected emergency service contractors.
