Living in Western North Carolina means dealing with moisture—it’s just part of mountain life. But when that moisture turns into mold in your crawl space, attic, or framing, it’s not something you want to ignore or “cover up.” The most effective remediation doesn’t just hide mold—it removes it, restores the wood, and protects your home long-term.Let’s walk through the gold-standard process used right here in WNC.

Soda Blasting — Removing Mold at the Source

Soda blasting is one of the most effective ways to remediate mold because it doesn’t just treat the surface—it physically removes mold contamination from the wood.Using a specialized blasting system with baking soda (a salt-based media), technicians clean the wood down to its original condition.Why it works:

  • Salt-based media (sodium bicarbonate) disrupts and destroys mold at a microbial level
  • Non-toxic and eco-friendly—safe for homes and families
  • Restores wood appearance, not just masks staining
  • Reaches into porous surfaces where mold roots live

Unlike chemical-only treatments, soda blasting eliminates the problem instead of leaving spores behind.


Optional Wood Sealant — Long-Term ProtectionAfter soda blasting, homeowners who want to go a step further can apply a professional-grade wood sealant.

Benefits of wood sealing:

  • Locks out future moisture intrusion into wood
  • Creates a barrier against mold regrowth
  • Improves overall air quality
  • Often comes with up to a 10-year mold remediation warranty

This step transforms your crawl space from “cleaned” to protected and stabilized.

Antimicrobial Fogging with AnabecThe final step is a full-space antimicrobial treatment using Anabec, a 12% peroxide-based solution.

Why fogging matters:

  • Reaches airborne spores and hard-to-access areas
  • Neutralizes remaining microbial contaminants
  • Leaves the environment cleaner and safer
  • Uses a non-toxic, peroxide-based formula that breaks down into oxygen and water

This step ensures your home is not only clean visually—but also clean at the microscopic level.

Why This System Is So Effective

Many mold treatments rely heavily on chemicals or surface cleaning—but this process stands apart because it combines:

  • Mechanical removal (soda blasting)
  • Preventative protection (sealant)
  • Whole-space sanitization (fogging)

And importantly, these solutions are:

  • Non-toxic
  • Safe for indoor environments
  • Highly effective at killing mold at its root

The use of salt-based blasting media is especially powerful—it doesn’t just kill mold, it helps restore the wood back to its natural state, which is something homeowners can actually see and feel. 

If you’re  dealing with mold in your crawl space or home in Western North Carolina, the goal shouldn’t be a temporary fix. You want a solution that:

  • Removes the mold completely
  • Protects your home long-term
  • Improves your indoor air quality

That’s exactly what this process delivers.
