Dry Ice Blasting for Mold Remediation

This is a before and after look at a mold cleanup using Cold Jet Dry Ice Blasting. This method involves firing dry ice pellets (as cold as -110°F) onto a moldy surface, killing 99.9% of the mold growth on contact.

Benefits

• Faster than more traditional methods of mold remediation
• Environmentally friendly (non-toxic)
• Can treat hard-to-reach areas (crevices, piping, etc.)
• Cleans surfaces gently (non-abrasive)
• No waste disposal needed

Understanding Mold Removal

Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because removing all mold from a house or business is impossible; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:

• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
