Have You Discovered Creosote-Treated Lumber in Your Home or Workplace in Mobile, AL? EnviroShield Can Help

Creosote is a highly effective wood preservative for utility poles, dock pilings, and similar outdoor fixtures, but creosote-treated lumber was never intended for use inside homes or businesses. In fact, human exposure to creosote in a residential or workplace setting has been listed as a probable carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency. It also has been linked to a wide variety of health problems, including:

  • Skin rashes
  • Respiratory illnesses
  • Eye damage

If you’ve discovered that creosote-treated lumber has been used in the construction of your home or workplace in the Mobile, Alabama, area, you’ll want to choose a speedy, convenient, and effective solution. And that solution comes from EnviroShield.

Why CreoShield™ Is the Ideal Way to Deal with Creosote-Treated Lumber

CreoShield™ is an innovative coating available only from EnviroShield. It offers a much better alternative to the traditional approach of scraping, sanding, and repainting creosote-treated timbers that are discovered indoors because it:

  • Requires less exposure to creosote and thus poses fewer health risks
  • Works by encapsulating the fumes rising from the creosote-treated wood, thus eliminating bad odors and reducing the emissions to safe levels for human exposure
  • Needs only a power washing of the treatment site before CreoShield™ is applied
  • Is available in a clear coating or just about any paint color you can think of, so you can easily blend it with your existing décor
