Dry ice blasting removing mold from wood framing

Mold Removal · British Columbia

Clear mold without bleach or tear-out down to clean material

Mold removal on framing, joists, and masonry usually means bleach, sanding, or ripping out material. Dry ice blasting clears mold off wood and concrete down to clean material, with no chemicals and no water soaking into the structure. The timber dries out and stays sound instead of getting sealed over wet. We handle commercial and industrial mold removal across Greater Vancouver and BC.

In short

Who does chemical-free mold removal in BC?

Mold removal, or remediation, clears mold growth off building materials and equipment and gets the surface back to clean, sound material. Laser Sharks does chemical-free mold removal across British Columbia with dry ice blasting, which lifts mold off wood framing, joists, and masonry without bleach or water. Since it adds no moisture, the structure dries out and stays dry, instead of trapping damp under a fresh coat of encapsulant.

How it works

01

Assessment

We scope the surface, the buildup, and access to the equipment or space.

02

Setup and containment

The blaster is staged and the area contained where the work calls for it.

03

Blasting pass

CO2 pellets at up to 250 PSI lift the buildup on contact, dry, no residue left.

04

Inspection and touch-up

Each surface is checked and finished before we call it done.

05

Completion report

Applications

Where it fits

Mold sits in porous wood and masonry, and moisture is what feeds it. Dry ice takes the growth off the surface dry, without adding the water that started the problem or sanding away the material.

Framing and joists

Mold comes off studs, joists, and sheathing without sanding away the wood. The surface profile stays intact for inspection.

Masonry and concrete

Block, brick, and concrete cleared without the mess and runoff of chemical washing.

Crawlspaces and post-flood

After water damage, dry ice clears mold without adding the moisture that caused it in the first place.

How our dry ice blasting works

Comparison

Dry ice mold removal vs bleach and tear-out

Bleach discolours the surface, adds water, and often does not reach mold in porous wood, only the visible part. Sanding removes material and throws spores into the air. Tear-out is expensive and not always necessary. Dry ice blasting takes the mold off the surface dry, with no chemical to neutralize and no material lost. On structural timber you want to keep, that is usually the right call, and it leaves the wood ready to inspect.

Common Questions

Quick answers about mold removal in British Columbia.

Who does industrial mold remediation without chemicals in BC?

Laser Sharks. We clear mold off wood, masonry, and equipment across British Columbia using dry ice blasting, with no bleach or chemical washing and no water added to the structure.

Does dry ice blasting kill mold or just remove it?

It removes the mold growth off the surface mechanically, down to clean material, without leaving chemical residue. Removal plus keeping the area dry is what stops it coming back, so we address the moisture source as part of the scope.

Is dry ice mold removal better than bleach?

For structural wood, usually. Bleach adds moisture and mostly treats the surface, while dry ice takes the growth off without soaking the timber or losing material to sanding.

How much does mold removal cost in BC?

Per project, based on area, access, and severity. Most jobs run in the thousands. Send photos to the quote form for a range.

Can you remove mold without spreading spores?

We contain and extract as we work to limit spread, and dry ice avoids the sanding dust that scatters spores. We set containment to suit the site.
