Dry Ice Blasting - Toxic Mold Decontamination and Remediation
Toxic mold decontamination and remediation with dry ice blasting has become a popular way to remove toxic mold. Anytime you have toxic mold it is extremely unhealthy. Not too long ago sanding, scraping and removing were the only options you had to remove mold. Those techniques are physically challenging and obsolete compared to what dry ice blasting can do for you and the time it takes it to work.
Toxic mold decontamination and remediation have never been easier and less messy.
What is dry ice? Dry ice comes in the form of pellets. Using liquid carbon dioxide and turning it into snow makes these pellets. The snow is then hardened and sold by dry ice suppliers.

So how does dry ice blasting work? This toxic mold decontamination and remediation technique reminds me somewhat of pressure washing. They both use a gun at high pressure to clean a surface. The exception is with dry ice blasting, there is no shooting water. Instead, it is cleaning with the dry ice, which goes from a solid to a gas but never turns into a liquid. This removes the mold quickly without damaging the surface. This process not only gets rid of mold but other contaminates that may have been present as well.
So where does the mold go? Dry ice blasting causes the mold to relocate into the air. This is good because now they can be removed from the air with a HEPA filter. When the toxic mold decontamination and remediation process is done, the remediator should vacuum the remaining debris and sawdust from the area and spray a micro-biocide, which will restrain any more growth.
This is a great alternative to the old way where you would have to tear out parts of your walls, structure beams. Then you had to pay for replacement. The ultimate situation is to prevent mold and not have to go through toxic mold decontamination and remediation by fixing leaks and keeping moisture away.
