Wood Rot

If mold grows out of control, it will start to eat away at the wood and cause wood rot.

Soda Blasting

The best treatment for mold is soda blasting. It uses sodium bicarbonate, otherwise known as baking soda - yes the same baking soda you bake a cake with.

Why soda blasting

Sodium Bicarbonate is a granular powder that is non-toxic, food grade, with no vapors or offgassing. It is blown with air at high pressure at the infected lumber. The mold is blown off without damaging the lumber, and falls to the floor. The mold is killed by the blasting action and the soda instantly changes the ph, so what falls is not active mold, but simply inert dust.
