Whole-Home Treatment
Environmental Stabilization When Localized Fixes Are Not Enough
Whole-home treatment is not a default service. It is not a starting point. It is not used casually.
At Bio-Shock, whole-home treatment is applied only when assessment shows that indoor air quality issues are systemic, not isolated, and that localized cleaning or spot remediation will not adequately stabilize the environment.
The goal is not to make a home smell better or look cleaner. The goal is to restore indoor air quality at the structure-wide level.
🏠 When Whole-Home Treatment Is Appropriate
Some indoor air quality problems cannot be corrected by addressing a single room, surface or visible area. Whole-home treatment may be appropriate when:
-
👃 Persistent Odors: Smells persist despite localized remediation.
-
🌬️ Systemic Contamination: Microbial contamination is distributed through airflow pathways.
-
🔬 Micro-particulates: Fine particulate or microbial fragments are present throughout the structure.
-
🔄 Failed Prior Fixes: Prior remediation addressed visible growth but not environmental drivers.
-
🌪️ Zone Cross-Contamination: HVAC systems have distributed contaminants across multiple zones.
-
💧 Long-Term Imbalance: The building has experienced long-term moisture or air imbalance.
🔍 Assessment Always Comes First
Bio-Shock does not perform whole-home treatment without assessment. The assessment determines whether contamination is localized or system-wide, how air movement is distributing contaminants, and whether whole-home treatment is justified at all.
Treatment without understanding the environment is guesswork. Guesswork leads to repeat problems.
🧪 Advanced Oxidation & Industrial Gas Technologies
When whole-home treatment is justified by assessment findings, Bio-Shock employs industrial-grade technologies as part of a controlled remediation protocol. No single method is used universally.
⚡ Bio-Shock Bio3VHP™ Whole-Structure Treatment
This process utilizes 6% vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) that is massively injected with very high ppm’s of ozone. This precise combination produces a high-energy reaction that generates hydroxyl radicals.
-
Molecular Destruction: Hydroxyls are among the most powerful oxidizers in existence, designed to denature spores and neutralize residual biological debris at the molecular level.
-
Total Penetration: This vaporized process is designed to penetrate porous materials and inaccessible building voids that manual cleaning simply cannot reach.
💨 Industrial Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) Gas Treatment
We utilize industrial-grade gas-phase ClO₂—a true gas treatment, not the low-grade "Amazon crap" or liquid-based shortcuts.
-
Vapor-Phase Expansion: As a true gas, it expands to occupy the entire connected air volume of a structure, penetrating textiles, wall cavities, and furniture.
-
Source Oxidation: ClO₂ aggressively oxidizes microbial contamination and odor-causing compounds throughout the structure.
🌀 Ozone Shock Treatment
A short-duration, tightly controlled oxidation treatment used in limited situations to address specific odor or contamination scenarios.
-
Controlled Application: Ozone is not used indiscriminately and is never relied upon as a standalone solution or substitute for proper remediation.
-
Targeted Results: It is applied as a tool within a broader protocol to address specific environmental needs identified during the assessment.
✅ What Whole-Home Treatment Does — and Does Not — Do
Whole-home treatment DOES:
-
Address contamination distributed throughout the structure.
-
Neutralize airborne and surface-bound contaminants.
-
Help reset indoor air quality after significant events or failures.
-
Support long-term environmental stability when paired with correction.
Whole-home treatment DOES NOT:
-
Replace moisture correction or fix building envelope defects.
-
Eliminate the need for source control.
-
Serve as a shortcut around proper remediation.
🛡️ Post-Treatment Stabilization & Standards
Verification & Stabilization: After treatment, the environment must be stabilized. This includes controlled air exchange, high-efficiency filtration, and final surface cleaning. Verification testing is used to confirm that indoor air quality has normalized.
Professional Standards: All protocols follow established industry guidance, including AIHA field assessment principles, ANSI/IICRC S520 Standards, and ASHRAE 62.1 and 62.2.
🚀 Next Steps
If you are dealing with persistent odors, widespread contamination or an indoor environment that will not stabilize despite prior efforts, the first step is still an assessment.
The objective is not treatment for its own sake. The objective is a stable, healthy indoor environment.
