Why Dry-Ice for Mold Remediation Dry-Ice Cleaning?
Floods, leaks, and high humidity drive mold growth that stains wood and penetrates porous surfaces. Wet washing soaks materials and extends dry-time; sanding spreads dust and still leaves discoloration.
CO₂ pellets accelerate to high velocity and flash-sublimate on impact. The thermal/acoustic micro-impulse fractures colonies and lifts biofilm from substrates without abrasion, moisture, or chemicals.
Surfaces are left dry and ready for encapsulant or rebuild. Crews finish faster, salvage more material, and minimize occupant disruption while reducing waste handling and corrosion risk.
Key takeaways
- Floods, leaks, and high humidity drive mold growth that stains wood and penetrates porous surfaces.
- CO₂ pellets accelerate to high velocity and flash-sublimate on impact.
- Surfaces are left dry and ready for encapsulant or rebuild.

Core Benefits
Waterless remediation
Avoid re-wetting structures and long dry-times; move to rebuild sooner.
Less tear-out
Preserve framing and decking; reduce costly replacement and landfill fees.
Detail cleaning
Access trusses, joist pockets, fasteners, and penetrations without aggressive sanding.
Cleaner job sites
No slurry or grit to collect and dispose—CO₂ vaporizes on impact.
Safer for electrics
Dry, non-conductive process around panels, conduit, and equipment.
Consistent results
Return surfaces to sound substrate for better adhesion of encapsulants.
Faster clearance
Shorter remediation windows support air sampling and turnover targets.
Lower total cost
Cut consumables, disposal, labor, and schedule overruns across projects.

“Dry-ice cleaning cut our schedule nearly in half and saved most of the roof framing. Containment stayed clean with no wet waste to manage.”
