If spores are disturbed without proper containment, they can easily spread to unaffected areas and create new contamination.
Ocean Pacific Media Blasting addresses this by combining controlled media blasting with a HEPA-filtered vacuum system. This approach allows us to remove mould at the source while capturing airborne spores immediately, preventing cross-contamination within the structure.
During remediation, soda blasting media is applied directly to affected surfaces. This process breaks down and removes mould growth along with embedded spores from wood and other porous materials without damaging the substrate. The blasting action is paired with continuous HEPA vacuum extraction, ensuring spores are captured at the point of removal rather than released into the air.
This method is suitable for both residential and commercial environments, including homes, offices, multi-unit buildings, and other occupied structures where containment and air quality are critical.
Before and After Mould Treatment
Once the blasting process is complete, the entire work area undergoes a thorough cleanup to remove any remaining residue or debris. After cleaning, previously affected surfaces are treated with a durable, non-organic sealer. This sealing step is essential, as it creates an environment that does not support future mould growth and helps protect the substrate over the long term.
By removing the contamination completely and sealing the surface properly, the risk of mould returning is significantly reduced.
Mould remediation requires strict safety controls. During removal, only our trained crew is permitted on site. All personnel wear full protective equipment, including fresh-air breathing apparatus, to protect against exposure.
We follow established containment and safety procedures throughout the project to protect occupants, adjacent areas, and the surrounding environment. These precautions are applied consistently on both residential and commercial remediation projects, regardless of size.
Each method is carefully selected to match the specific needs of your project. Factors include surface material, environmental considerations and level of preparation required for optimal results.
