MSDA

What is a MSDA?


Material Safety Data Sheet

All product used on jobs must be labeled with a MSDS or you must be able to provide a copy of the MSDS. 
The sheet must  include information to provide workers and EMS with needed information for handling and working with product in a safe way. Data includes product make up, health concerns, toxicity and first aid response. 
If you are concerned for any reason about any product we use in your home, ask for the MSDA before we start any job.  We will work with you to use the right product for your environment.

It's pretty nice weather, clear blue skies, snow capped mountains should be mild light jacket temps in the 40's.... but down in Dixie ( St. George)   60's to 70's  perfect days. Lets go  to Zion.  Zion NPS reports that there may be (is) snow still on Walters Wiggles and on the chain route to Angels Landing so be prepared with correct foot wear.

Water damage, flood. Using Antimicrobials & Biocides

Water damage, flood. Using Antimicrobials & Biocides

Antimicrobials & Biocides

Antimicrobials & Biocides

Controlling microbial activity at a restoration site may also require the use of chemical agents.  Before deciding to use an antimicrobial or biocide, it is critical to first understand the terminology, technology and chemistry behind the individual product.  The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) has defined three levels of biocidal activity:
° Sanitize  A cleaning or disinfecting treatment designed to  
                      reduce the number of pathogenic     
                      microorganisms to a safe level.  This is the lowest  
                      level of biocidal activity.
° Disinfectant:   A solution designed to destroy or inhibit the
                           growth of microorganisms, but not 
                           necessarily their spores.
° Sterilizer:   A product designed to destroy all microorganisms  
                       (fungi, bacteria, viruses, etc.) and their 
                        spores.
(RSA [RS101] )

Water loss, flood drying. In Place Drying

Fast  Evaporation.......IN PLACE DRYING

In Place Drying.......Fast Evaporation

(air movers not placed yet)
When performing in-place drying, more air-movers are needed for fast evaporation.

  • In a class 2 or class 3 water loss, air movers are placed every 10'-16'  along the wall.  ( if you use metric  3-4 m) along the wall.
  • Air movers are directed toward the wall at a 15° to 45° angle, depending upon the type of air mover.
  • The air mover snout will almost touch the wall, which means within 1"  (again,  if you are metric- 2.5 cm ) of the wall but not rubbing it.
All air movers ins each area will face the same direction, whether clockwise or counter-clockwise, to ensure that air movers are not pushing against each other.   Call us when you need fast reliable help to dry your home.
