Mold Treatment, Remediation and Fire Restoration

What is Soda Blasting?

Soda blasting is an eco-friendly, highly effective cleaning and paint-stripping technique that employs the use of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) particles propelled by high pressure onto a surface. Combining the gentle abrasive power of baking soda with the efficiency of modern machinery, soda blasting is a swift, non-toxic restoration tool. We use soda blasting for various job sites, crawl space concerns, and foundation challenges to clean and restore the space.

Why Homes Benefit from Soda Blasting

Environmentally Safe
Using baking soda ensures no toxic chemicals are introduced to your property. It's safe for the environment, and there's no harmful residue left behind.

Gentle but Powerful
While soda blasting is powerful enough to remove paint, mold, mildew, and grime, it's also gentle on surfaces, ensuring no structural damage.

Odor Neutralization
Beyond cleaning, the natural properties of baking soda helps neutralize foul odors, particularly those caused by mold and mildew.

Moisture Reduction
Soda blasting can help reduce moisture in the crawl space by eliminating sources of dampness, such as mold and mildew.

Efficient and Fast
Due to its powerful cleaning capabilities, soda blasting can dramatically reduce the time taken to clean the site or prepare a surface compared to traditional methods.

Crawl Space and Foundation Restoration Solution

Crawl spaces and foundations are susceptible to various contaminants, including mold, mildew, and efflorescence (chalky white mineral deposits). Over time, these can degrade the quality and strength of the foundation. Traditional cleaning methods can be labor-intensive, less effective, and may involve harmful chemicals. Soda blasting is an all-in-one solution - it cleans, deodorizes, and prepares service areas for further repair or sealing, all while being eco-friendly and efficient.

Why Use Soda Blasting for Mold Remediation and Fire Restoration?

When dealing with mold or fire damage, you need well-rounded services to restore your home to its former glory. That's where soda blasting steps in! This powerful technique uses baking soda propelled at high speeds to remove mold and fire residue without damaging surfaces.

Mold Remediation
Soda blasting is gentle yet effective in removing mold from various surfaces. Unlike harsh chemicals, it's safe for your health and the environment. The baking soda neutralizes mold spores, preventing further growth and ensuring a healthier home.

Fire Restoration
After a fire, your home may be covered in soot and smoke damage. Soda blasting's gentle abrasiveness removes these contaminants without harming surfaces. It effectively cleans walls, ceilings, and even delicate items like upholstery and wood, making your home clean and safe again.

Addressing Crawl Space and Basement Problems with Soda Blasting

Crawl spaces and basements are foundational components of many homes, yet they can become problematic areas due to their below-ground nature. The issues these spaces face can range from mold growth to paint deterioration. Soda blasting is a versatile solution that effectively tackles specific problems. Our soda blasting services work for a variety of home needs. Whether your crawl space requires mold removal or your basement is covered in soot, we can help! Here are some of the various ways we utilize soda blasting.

Mold and Mildew Growth

Issue: Moisture is common in humid climates like Alabama. The moisture accumulation in basements and crawl spaces often leads to mold deposits and mildew growth. Mold not only poses health risks but also compromises structural elements by feeding on organic materials.

Soda Blasting Solution

Soda blasting provides effective mildew and mold removal from surfaces. It gently cleanses the area without causing harm to the underlying materials. The baking soda used in the process naturally neutralizes the moldy odors, leaving the space mold free and refreshed.

Old Paint Removal

Issue: Basements, especially in older homes, might have layers of old, peeling, or lead-based paint.

Soda Blasting Solution: Soda blasting is adept at stripping away old paint layers, creating a clean surface ideal for repainting. The blasting safely removes lead-based paint, minimizing the risk of toxin release.

Soot and Char from Fires

Issue: Fires can leave behind soot and char residues, especially on wooden surfaces, which can be hard to clean with traditional methods.

Soda Blasting Solution: The method effectively removes these fire residues, restores the appearance of the affected areas, and eliminates the smoky smell associated with fire damage.

Efflorescence Removal

Issue: Efflorescence is a white, powdery substance that appears on masonry and concrete surfaces. It's the result of water-soluble salts rising to the surface and can make basements look aged and unkempt.

Soda Blasting Solution: Soda blasting can effectively remove efflorescence deposits, bringing back the original appearance of the surface.

General Dirt and Grime

Issue: Over time, crawl spaces and basements can accumulate dirt, grime, and other residues due to their proximity to the ground and often limited ventilation.

Soda Blasting Solution: Soda blasting offers a comprehensive cleaning, effortlessly removing years of built-up grime and revealing a cleaner, fresher space.

Graffiti or Vandalism

Issue: Some basements, especially those with exterior windows or access points, can become targets for graffiti.

Soda Blasting Solution: This method can be used to remove unwanted graffiti without damaging the underlying surface, restoring the original appearance.
