Dry Ice Blasting for Mold Removal
We use a dry ice blasting process to remove mold. The process is done by our trained mold remediation technician. Dry ice blasting is very similar to high-pressure washing but uses CO2 ice to remove the mold.
Bay Restoration uses this dry ice method to remove attic mold, wall cavity mold, floor decking mold, and drywall mold. The dry ice blasting penetrates the wood or other surfaces deep down to remove mold spores and other biological matter like algae.

Where Is That Mold?
Mold often grows in crawlspaces and other areas that are out of the way. It often grows in air duct systems, an area which can be problematic since air ducts circulate air throughout your entire home.
Mold also grows in areas that have suffered water damage. If your house has experienced a flood or plumbing issue that resulted in an areas of your home being covered in water, you should have an expert check that area after having it cleaned.
How Will We Find That Mold?
We begin with a visual search of the area. Once we can find physical evidence of mold, we then look for the cause of the growth -- usually water. We will search for the source of the water and any branching paths the water might take to find any other areas containing mold.
We will also search for mold colonies to find the largest concentration of mold in your house. These areas can be hotbeds for the issues you might be experiencing with your health and the odors in your house, so finding them is a great step in helping to restore your house to a livable and comfortable condition.
Mold is a serious problem for your home and you. Whether it is cause by age or water damage, it needs to be addressed ASAP. It can produce long-lasting health effects for you and your family, and these issues can be far more expensive and difficult to reverse than a mold removal.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mold
I think I may have "toxic mold" in my home. What should I do next?
Not all microbial growths are toxigenic. Not all "black mold" is toxigenic. Billions of mold spores occur naturally in and outside of structures. At Bay Restoration, we can take a sampling of your microbial growth, and determine if the normal limits have been exceeded and if your indoor environment is harmful.
How do I know when I have chosen a reputable company to handle my mold problem?
A reputable company will NOT:
- Purport to determine whether or not your microbial growth is toxigenic or not before performing the appropriate tests.
- Use scare tactics or language in order to frighten the homeowner into believing his home is filled with enough toxic mold to ruin his health forever.
What about certifications? Don't mold companies need to be certified?
Choose a Virginia mold remediator who holds a minimum IICRC certification as an applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT) and is actually following the approved treatment process. The AMRT will be bound to a code of ethics, which protect the consumer.
