Mold Remediation
Remove mold and mildew from wood, concrete, and building materials without water or toxic chemicals.
Key Benefits
- Kills mold on contact with extreme cold (-78.5°C)
- Removes mold from wood framing and joists
- No water introduction - breaks the mold growth cycle
- No toxic chemicals or biocides required
- Reaches mold in crevices and tight spaces
Overview
Mold remediation with dry ice blasting is faster, safer, and more effective than traditional methods. The extreme cold of the CO2 pellets (-78.5°C) kills mold on contact while the kinetic energy blasts away the growth. Unlike water-based methods, dry ice blasting doesn't introduce moisture, the primary catalyst for mold growth, breaking the cycle of contamination.
Mold remediation is a common need for Ontario homeowners, especially in attics, basements, and crawl spaces where moisture accumulates. Traditional mold removal methods using chemicals, sanding, or water-based cleaning have significant drawbacks: chemicals create health concerns, sanding damages wood, and water reintroduces the moisture that caused the mold in the first place. Dry ice blasting for mold remediation is the superior alternative because the extreme cold kills mold spores on contact while the mechanical action removes visible growth, and no moisture is introduced. Sub-Zero Blastworks provides professional mold remediation services across Barrie, Simcoe County, Muskoka, and the Greater Toronto Area. We work with homeowners, realtors, property managers, and insurance companies to resolve mold issues quickly and effectively.

Our Process
How Mold Remediation Works
Mold Assessment
We assess the extent of mold growth, the affected materials, and the moisture source that needs to be addressed.
Containment
The work area is sealed and negative air pressure is established to prevent mold spore migration to clean areas.
Dry Ice Blasting
CO2 pellets at -78.5°C kill mold on contact. The kinetic energy removes mold growth from wood, concrete, and other building materials.
Encapsulation
Cleaned surfaces can be treated with mold-resistant encapsulants. Moisture source recommendations are provided to prevent recurrence.
Applications
Common Uses for Mold Remediation
Why Choose Sub-Zero Blastworks?
Traditional mold remediation introduces water (which feeds mold), chemicals (which create health concerns), or requires sanding and replacing wood (which is time-consuming). Dry ice blasting kills mold on contact, removes the growth without damaging the underlying wood, and introduces zero moisture. It's faster, safer, and more effective. Sub-Zero Blastworks has remediated mold in homes, cottages, commercial buildings, and rental properties across Ontario.

Mold Remediation FAQs
Is dry ice blasting effective against black mold?
Yes. The extreme cold (-78.5°C) of the CO2 pellets kills mold spores on contact, including Stachybotrys (black mold). The kinetic energy removes the visible mold growth, and encapsulation treatments can be applied to the cleaned surface for added protection.
Do you address the moisture source causing mold?
While our service focuses on mold removal, we always assess and identify the moisture source during our inspection. We'll provide recommendations for addressing ventilation, drainage, or waterproofing issues that are causing the mold to grow.
Is dry ice blasting for mold safer than chemical treatments?
Yes. Traditional mold remediation often uses biocides and antimicrobial chemicals that can be harmful in enclosed spaces. Dry ice blasting uses only recycled CO2 and produces no toxic byproducts. The only thing to clean up is the mold material itself.
