Jim Thompson Large Loss Specialist

Ok.....Now, who is Jim Thompson?
 
Jim Thompson started cleaning carpet while still in the US Navy in San Diego, CA in 1974. After he got out of the service he continued in the cleaning business and in 1978 started deodorizing after factory fires.
“In the early days,” according to Thompson, “state of the art was only saving 50% of what we deodorized. In other words we ruined about half and half.” The urban legend was that no one could ever get smoke smell out after a fire. We disproved that 50% of the time.” “Starting Better Cleaning Service in St. Louis got my feet wet in the water damage industry and I met Cliff Zlotknik and Lloyd Weaver at an AIDS convention in Las Vegas in 1981. They changed my life forever. Cliff taught me deodorizing using a thermo-gen, a process that developed with UNSMOKE and fire cleanup and Lloyd taught me to use the carpet dryer which he had invented.” Both true pioneers in the industry. “Restorx-St. Louis was born, after the Restorx network, closed I changed to a company I started on a bar napkin with a PR lady who was runner up to Miss America, I gave her 7 $100. Bills and CATCO was started with a logo that she and I developed. We had some very weird looks as I loudly counted off the hundreds.” Thompson once remarked. CATCO grew through-out the region and Thompson only liking large commercial losses sold it in 1989. The company is still in operation in St. Louis.

Jim Thompson & Co Inc. began a long run of factory fire cleanups, shopping mall fires and floods and before long working with 10 semi-trucks and company aircraft “Around the Clock-Around the Country” ® Jim Thompson & Co Inc. had worked in 43 states and Puerto Rico on some of the largest losses in the US.

Jim Thompson had long running ads in Risk Management Magazine and for years had the outside back cover of Claims magazine, sitting on his 1916 pool table in his beautiful office with a sign over his head
“Will Work for Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars” or standing in front of his company pressurized twin engine aircraft with the caption “We are a Fly By Night Operation.” Jim Thompson’s research in the use of the infrared band to locate water was published internationally and in 2005 NASA contacted him to conduct research to locate water and caves on Mars.

Jim officially closed Jim Thompson & Co. Nationwide Disaster Strike Force in 2006 and went on 10 NASA Science Expeditions on 3 continents conducting research to locate caves on other planets suitable for human habitation. Jim continued to consult with insurance company, risk managers and restoration firms about large losses and the use of science to improve conditions rapidly on disaster job sites. Jim continues to this day with his research and works with restoration companies, risk managers and insurance companies to improve the industry and provide the very best service to the client.
           

 After all it is the factory or commercial business that needs to get back in operation as fast as possible to save American jobs and preserve the income for the community.

Testimonials

TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM JIM'S WEBSITE http://www.jimthompsonco.com/testimonials/ “Jim: You are definitely an amazing man. The one thing that I noticed is your love for your wife and family and that is a true sign of your character. I loved your stories you told and getting to know you was just as interesting as learning about how to sell and handle commercial loss. I know during the entire class that you were very concerned about if we were learning anything and if you had the wheels spinning. I will say that WOW I was so impressed. What you taught us is all I can think about, after I took you to the airport which I was impressed that the learning did not stop in class. Why I say this is because when we arrived at the airport you had mentioned to me how would you clean that glass on the catwalk? Well my first instinct was to do this with my crew and then what you explained to me made perfect sense. I love the way that you continued to quiz me right to the end when we parted ways. I want you to know that you really hold a special place in my company and heart! You are an amazing person and I am truly grateful for all you taught us. If you are ever in NH and need anything please call me I am always around and would return the favor you have shared with us. Thank you so much Jim for being part of our lives and your class will be carried on from this day forward! I was so impressed with your class that I even came back to the office after dropping you off on Saturday and stayed for 4 hours reviewing all the information and putting together our game plan as I was so inspired by what you had taught us! I will be calling on you to help with our first couple of loss’s and I don’t mind paying the money that we have spent so far is well worth the investment! If you want to share this with anyone please know you have my full approval and I will be sending people your way! Your class in one word, AMAZING!!! Have a great day! Sincerely, Tim Doucette, Worry Free Restoration November 16, 2015  

The Key To Getting Large Loss Work

By Ivan Turner October 16, 2015 “Attention Disaster Restoration Business owners. Up until last year I was afraid of attempting to process large losses. Like most restorers my fear was based on the unknowns associated with large losses; who to market my services too, how to find support and how to write estimates that even the toughest Forensic Accountants would easily approve and expedite payment on. After attending Jim Thompson’s marketing large loss class, I gained the knowledge and confidence to take on losses of any size. So, if you want to enter the large loss space, I would highly encourage you to also attend Jim’s class and yes it is well worth the time and cost. Not only does Jim pull back the curtain revealing how he built a national Disaster recovery business, but he also shares who to contact, best practices regarding large loss work, what to say to the influencers associated with large facilities and most importantly he shows you how to get paid in a timely manner”. Ivan Turner, Owner-Disaster Brigade October 16, 2015   “Jim is a great guy. His stories were relevant, yet brings back memories of the old days”. “Thanks for letting me attend!” “I liked Jim’s energy, knowledge, experience and how he conveys his stories on real world large loss experiences”. “I have absolutely enjoyed every day with the instructor (Jim) and the class”. “Thank you for sharing your experience”. “I liked everything about your workshop”. “We had a great time and learned a lot. Thank you for sharing some of the secrets of your success, as I cannot wait to implement what I learned this past week.” “I hired Jim Thompson as a consultant in the field of Mitigation/Structural Drying. While in town, Jim gave much valuable data as regards the field of Mitigation/Structural Drying. I would recommend Jim to anyone who is already in this field and looking to expand. Jim once operated a large Mitigation Company. His years of experience are of much value to anyone looking to get into the commercial side of this business. *** I cannot thank you enough for the training and information you provided during your visit to our facilities in March 2012. It is rare that I have paid for a high dollar consultant and found that I got more value than expected! *** Jim completely changed my viewpoint as regards of how to expand into commercial mitigation. If you are planning on doing this, you need to hire Jim before you set out on a course as the data he has will help you to expand more quickly and also in the right direction. *** I am so grateful for the time you have spent with us. I am looking forward to continuing to work together on this new line of business and look forward to our next meeting, whether at the next conference or on a large loss for which we can use your on-site expertise. *** Thank you again for transferring your years of knowledge and experience. You have saved us thousands of hours of learning and showed us the right way to be successful in the crowded and unique large loss business. *** For many years I have known Jim Thompson and have used his disaster cleanup services. Hurricane Charlie took the roof off our 11 million cubic foot Orlando Distribution Center. It also dumped massive amounts of rain that inundated our facility and stock. I called Jim Thompson & Company and he responded immediately. Upon arrival, Thompson employees worked around the clock to save our stock and help keep us in business. We were able to continue delivering our products to our clients. Storm after storm pounded the Orlando area, each new storm tearing the temporary roof off and dumping more water into the facility. Thompson and his crew continued to clean it up and dry it out. When Hurricane Francis hit, Jim Thompson and Company stayed at the facility during the storm and pumped out water and continued to dry out the facility. This saved millions in stock and allowed us to continue our operation. We appreciate the efforts of Jim and his crew. They did an outstanding job and we would recommend them if you ever need their services. *** For the past 31 years, I have been an adjuster for a large worldwide insurance company. I deal with large multi- million dollar losses on a daily basis, and employ many outside consultants to aid me in my duties to measure these large losses for the Insurance Company and to promptly and accurately indemnify the insured for any losses suffered under the terms of the insurance policy applicable”. I have worked with Mr. Thompson on numerous occasions since I first met him about 25 years ago. I have employed his expertise in dehumidification, cleaning, and mold control. I have also employed him as a consultant on a large mold remediation loss recently. Mr. Thompson is most knowledgeable in the area of mold remediation, drying and general disaster cleanup activities. He is, in my estimation, an expert in these fields, employing the most state of the art equipment and techniques known for these operations. He has aided both me and my insureds in the mitigation of damages from many a catastrophe. Besides being actively involved in the above activities, he also gives seminars on the “art” of mold remediation, cleaning and dehumidification. He is well regarded in the mold abatement industry for his knowledge and expertise in this area. His seminars not only explain the methods employed to adequately remediate a project, but also explain the remediation methods used in detail for a particular project, as to what mold is, why it forms, how to arrest it and how to adequately abate/remove it. He has numerous designations associated with mold remediation, disaster cleaning and dehumidification. Mr. Thompson is also always looking for new advanced and improved methods to treat these problems. He understands the needs of his business and knows how to research and determine needed improvements to the techniques he employs. He actively researches new techniques and remains current in the field of mold abatement and dehumidification. By his diligence in these efforts, he remains a “state of the art” mold remediation and disaster cleanup consultant/contractor in a rapidly changing industry. *** I am writing to inform you that I have known Jim Thompson for the past 30 years, and have found him to be an intelligent, considerate and helpful person, who takes great pride in not only conducting his business in a successful manner, but taking pride in giving back to the community by volunteering his expert advice and resources to clean up environmental problems which have resulted by natural causes and other unnatural accidents. My position as Deputy Fire Chief and Fire Marshal of the City of St. Louis puts me in a position to witness not only his company (CATCO) but to observe how his employees who he trained functioned in emergency clean-up situations. Additionally it was one of my functions to certify individuals and companies through written testing and interview to perform the removal of underground petroleum storage tanks and the clean-up resulting from leaks. I personally certified Mr. Thompson to remove tanks and handle spills and petroleum leakage in the City of St. Louis. As the past president of the Society of Fire Protection engineers in the City of St. Louis and as Asst. Director of the City of St. Louis Local Planning Committee which was established by SARA, Mr. Thompson made numerous presentations to both of these organizations and volunteered his company as a resource in case of a chemical emergency or any other type of catastrophic incident. While I was involved in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s as Fire Marshal and Asst. Emergency Manager for the City of St. Louis, Mr. Thompson made himself available to us in the time of any emergency situation and we were able to count on his valuable support. Socially Mr. Thompson was involved with an organization known as the St. Louis Ambassadors for many years. This was a prestigious organization which the Mayors of the City established to promote the reputation of the City and upon which he relied for advice in assisting with city problems. Everything I have witnessed Mr. Thompson do, I would say he has done well and I would have confidence in his ability to perform any type of cleanup situation. *** THANK YOU!

Hydroxyl Technology Vs Ozone Technology

The main benefit of using a true hydroxyl generator is that they are safe to use in occupied areas for deodorization purposes. Insurance companies do not have to cover a homeowner’s hotels or meals. Business owners do not have to shut down and loose precious business.
If people and animals can be removed from the treatment area, ozone will always do the jobs faster. And the general rule of thumb is if a strong ozone generator would take one day to do a job, a true hydroxyl generator will take three to five days to do the same job. But insurance companies don’t seem to have a problem paying for the extra time it takes a hydroxyl generator to do the job because they are saving on hotel and food costs and their customers are much happier staying in their own homes and businesses. In saying this, hydroxyl generators are commonly one of the first pieces of equipment installed on the job and can be run the entire length of the job. These machines are already in Xactimate and bring in some $200 per day on a rental. With the price of the hydroxyl generators on the market, there would be a 100% return on investment within the first week of use.
These generators have been successfully tested on fires and other restoration and bio jobs, including protein fires, floods, dead body situations, skunk odors, pet urine odors, musty odors and many types of VOC odors. Many restoration contractors have converted existing deodorizing chambers or added their own hydroxyl rooms with great success. You can run a hydroxyl room 24 hours a day and enter the room at any time with no threat to your health. True hydroxyl generators also will not bleach wet fabrics so they can be run on damp carpet without fear of lightening the color.
However, it’s important to note that hydroxyl generators are not intended for use on mold remediation jobs where there is a large infestation on surfaces or behind walls. The established protocols should always be followed in these instances. But generators with good filtration are excellent for airborne microbial remediation where bacteria or fungi have become aerosolized.
Here’s a look at more information and considerations for this type of deodorization.
What Is A Hydroxyl Radical?
The hydroxyl radical, •OH, is the neutral form of the hydroxide ion (OH–). Hydroxyl radicals are diatomic molecules that are highly reactive and very short-lived with an average half-life of less than two seconds. The hydroxyl radical which was first discovered by scientists in 1963 is often referred to as the “detergent” of the troposphere, or the lowest part of the atmosphere, because it reacts with many pollutants and helps destroy them. It also has an important role in eliminating some greenhouse gases like methane and ozone.
Atmospheric hydroxyl radicals should not be confused with free radicals that are produced inside living organisms. Atmospheric hydroxyl radicals are so reactive that they are instantly neutralized when they make contact with any substance and would be impossible to ingest as a complete ion. This is the fact that makes hydroxyl radicals, which are in the outside air at all times during the day, one of the safest processes for deodorizing in an occupied area.
Hydroxyls are formed in nature by the reaction of UV light from the sun disassembling water vapor (H20) to get a hydrogen atom and oxygen (O2) which are combined together to form the hydroxyl radical (*OH).
Technology Behind Radicals
All hydroxyl generators currently used in the restoration industry incorporate some form of UV light in their process. UV light has three major spectrums: A, B and C. UVA is in the 315nm to 400nm wavelength and is what is commonly referred to as a “black light,” which makes white things glow and is considered safe for vision and skin contact. UVA lamps do not produce ozone. UVB is in the 280nm to 315nm wavelength. These are the lights in tanning salons. UVC is the 100nm to 280nm wavelength. These lamps are “germicidal” and can damage your eyes and skin. UVC lamps in the 185nm spectrum produce large amounts of ozone.
Some manufacturers use UVC lamps in the 185nm to 254nm wavelength with no catalyst whatsoever and claim to make hydroxyls. These units are nothing more that ultraviolet ozone generators and should be avoided. Other manufacturers use the same UVC 185nm to 254nm wavelength UV lamps but also incorporate reactive metals like titanium as a catalyst to create hydroxyls. These machines would probably make more hydroxyls then the first process described above but they also produce ozone and should be considered for use in unoccupied areas only.
The third technology which was developed with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) utilizes UVC light in the 254nm wavelength to excite nano-sized particles of Titanium Dioxide to generate hydroxyl radicals. This process has been deemed safe by NASA (it has been used in the space station) and also certified by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) as a Type 2 Medical Device that is approved for use in hospitals, including neonatal and baby wards.
The safest and most preferred technology to produce hydroxyl radicals is a version of the NASA developed process that utilizes UVA (black light) in the 365nm to 385nm wavelength to excite (irradiate) nano sized Titanium Dioxide sol gel particles. Many scientists agree that UVA light is the best spectrum to produce the largest amount of hydroxyls possible with super reactive TiO2. The UV light used in this process is the same light that made Jimmy Hendrix posters glow in my teenage days. TiO2 is the white powder on powdered donuts or the white in your tooth paste. Both the black light and the TiO2 utilized in this technology are safe and benign.
Considerations
High volume of air movement: Since hydroxyls live less than two seconds, it is necessary and beneficial to have as much air movement as possible to move the hydroxyls out of the machine and as far away as possible in the two second time allotment. 5,000+ CFM will do a much better job than 500 to 600 CFM.
Moisture/humidity: The higher the humidity is in the treatment area the more hydroxyls will be produced and the better/quicker the hydroxyl generator will do the job. Hydroxyls are not temperature sensitive and like higher humidity which is the opposite of ozone which prefers cooler less humid conditions. 60%+ humidity is preferred for optimal hydroxyl generator performance.
Filtration: Another feature to look for in a hydroxyl generator is good filtration to help remove the oxidized particles and microbes from the air in the treatment area.
Hydroxyl Generator Purchase Considerations
Safety: Ask your hydroxyl generator manufacturer for the UV wavelength of their lamps. If they will not volunteer this information or they have lamps that are in the 185nm wavelength, consider looking elsewhere. If the hydroxyl generator you are looking at smells like ozone, it is likely making ozone. A true hydroxyl generator emits no odor at all.
Features: Get all the features you can on your hydroxyl generator. Look for the highest air volume you can get. Look for the best filtration available and look for a certified safe hydroxyl generation process that does not utilize ozone in its process. Make sure that the hydroxyl generator is sold through a network of restoration equipment retailers that can service your repair and warranty needs.
Price: Hydroxyl generator prices run the full gamut from a low of $500 to a high of $4,500. Check out the features, the hydroxyl producing process, the dealers that sell the product then make your own educated decision. Paying a lot of money does not guarantee that you will get the safest, most durable, best producing generator available. Do your due-diligence before buying.










OZONE
QUESTION: WHAT IS OZONE?
ANSWER: Ozone, sometimes called "activated oxygen", o3, contains three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms we normally breath. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and its function is to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors in nature. Interestingly ozone occurs quite readily in nature, most often as a result of lightning strikes that occur during thunderstorms. In fact that "fresh, clean, spring rain" smell that we notice after a storm most often results from natures creation of ozone. Ozone is also created by water falls. However, we are probably most familiar with ozone from reading about the "ozone layer" that circles the planet above the earth atmosphere. Here ozone is created by the sun's ultra-violet rays. This serves to protect us from the ultra-violet radiation. Additionally, each of us is exposed to high levels of ozone sometimes daily for short periods of time. This happens in heavy traffic conditions or during times when the weather forces ozone to remain lower to the ground than is otherwise normal. The combination of these two factors can result in ozone readings as high as 4 or 5 times the "regulatory" levels for continuous exposure with absolutely no adverse affects as our exposure is for such short periods, and the ozone itself decays back to normal oxygen so rapidly.
Bactericidal action:
The highly effective bactericidal action of ozone has been well established in literature. This property of ozone makes it extremely useful for various applications.
Deodorizing action:
Ozone's deodorizing action is not simply a masking effect of unpleasant odors. It is a true chemical destruction of the compounds that create the odors in the first place. The existing air in an enclosed populated environment is rarefied with the decrease of the oxygen content. It has been proven that with ozone concentrations of around 0.01 ppm, the number of air renewals in any closed space is reduced.
QUESTION:
Which is better; UV (ultraviolet) Ozone Generation or Corona Discharge?
Why are UV ozone generators a better choice than corona discharge ozone generators?
(For all air or surface sterilization shock treatment applications such as MOLD, Smoke, Fire odors, musty smells, flood odor,protein decomposition odor, germ and virus remediation, etc.)
The Biggest difference between corona discharge and UV ozone generation methods is that UV ozone generators have stable ozone output levels throughout humidity ranges, while the output of corona discharge ozone generators is significantly reduced by just moderate humidity levels such as 40–70% (ozone output is reduced by approx. 40-70% with 40-70% humidity). In addition, with UV ozone generators, the cleaning requirement is almost eliminated compared to corona discharge ozone generators. Also, the ozone produced from a UV ozone generator is cleaner (no nitric acids) and smells better than ozone produced from corona discharge machines, and is just as powerful and often more powerful as ozone produced by corona discharge ozone generators.
UV models include UV PRO 550, UV PRO 550AT, UV PRO 1100AT, UV PRO 2800, UV PRO 4000, and UV PRO 6800
QUESTION: HOW DOES OZONE WORK?
ANSWER: While ozone is very powerful, it has a very short life cycle. When it is faced with odors, bacteria or viruses the extra atom of oxygen destroys them completely by oxidation. In so doing, that extra atom of oxygen is destroyed and there is nothing left...no odor...no bacteria...no extra atom, only oxygen. In addition to the effectiveness of ozone, we also know that it is safe to use. We know this from our own safe exposures daily to ozone, Whether, as noted earlier, resulting from being locked in traffic, or passing through industrial areas. These exposures have no effect on us. beyond our acknowledging the smell associated with ozone. It is the strength of this smell that provides ozone with it's "built in" safety mechanism. Ozone is safe because we notice it's smell at very residual levels. By residual we mean, the amount of ozone that is produced in excess of the required amount to eliminate whatever contamination that may be present in the room. This equipment, when used correctly will not exceed government guidelines for continuous safe exposure. Even if used incorrectly, ozone provides its own protection, as ozone warns us in a manner similar to smoke in a room. Ozone does this by becoming so offensive (a strong bleach-like smell) at 1.5 parts per million that we would not be able to stay in the environment for any more than a short period. This is much like what would happen if we entered a smoke filled room. However, while smoke might harm us, research has proven that a limited exposure to a low level of ozone would have no serious long term affect on us just as it does not affect us when caught in a traffic jam during rush hour.
QUESTION: HOW IS OZONE PRODUCED?
ANSWER: There are basically two methods of producing ozone...ultra-violet and corona discharge. Most equipment uses the corona discharge method, simulating in essence, lightning. Equipment utilizing UV was hard to find in the past because it was inefficient, expensive to operate, unreliable, and very costly to service compared to the corona discharge equipment available. In recent years the UV technology has improved significantly making it a viable alternative to the corona discharge systems and the preferred choice for remediation professionals.
QUESTION: HOW LONG DOES THE OZONE LAST?
ANSWER: As soon as ozone is formed in the generator and dispersed in a room some of it decays back into oxygen. This step occurs by several processes including the following: Natural decay (or revision to oxygen) due to ozone chemical instability. Speeding up of the above process by the presence of such as walls, carpets etc. stimulating the decay process. Oxidation reaction with odor causing organic material, which removes ozone. Reactions with bacteria etc., which again consumes ozone by oxidation reactions. Additionally ozone itself has a half life which means that "residual" ozone created (extra unneeded ozone) will return to oxygen within at most 30 minutes, in amounts equal to half its level. What this means is that after each subsequent 30 minute period there would be half as much residual ozone left at the end of the period as was present at the beginning of the period. This is similar to a geometric progression of 16;8;4;2;1. In practice the half life is usually less than 30 minutes due to temperature, bacterial, and other contaminants in the air. Therefore, ozone while very powerful doesn't last long...just does it’s job and disappears.
