Removing Mold with Dry Ice Blasting

The claims are: "Dry ice blasting completely removes spores from the wood in less time, and with less effort."

It certainly sounds good...

"The process is non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-abrasive and non-conductive – using thermal shock to clean in most applications. However, it uses kinetic energy when blasting on wood. As the dry ice (-78.5 C) blasts against the mold infested wood, it removes the top 1/16 inch of wood, and the mold along with it."

"Dry Ice blasting’s ability to clean mold-infested surfaces thoroughly and efficiently is becoming the method of choice for mold remediator around the county – equipment costs being mitigated with the increased amount of mold remediation projects a firm can perform."

Two weeks ago Turtle Clan performed an air quality test on my house and there is a significant mold issue present, especially in the basement. I'm in the process of researching mold remediation options and just came across Dry Ice Blasting. I'll let you all know if I decide to go that route.

If you believe you have a mold, radon, or general air quality problem call Turtle Clan. It is essential to choose a reputable, certified and trustworthy environmental inspector.
