What soda blasting does for affected wood
Soda blasting uses compressed air and baking-soda particles to remove growth from the surface of crawl space wood. We check the framing and room to work before recommending it as part of mold treatment.
Cleaning a surface cannot restore a weakened joist. If we find decay or damage to the framing, we explain why it needs a separate repair assessment.
The estimate shows the surfaces to be treated and how blasting fits with insulation removal and moisture control. You can request treatment on its own or as part of a larger crawl space project.
This is what customers say about Clean Air
How we prepare, treat, and clean the crawl space
Soda blasting loosens material from the wood and creates dust. We explain the preparation, treatment, cleanup, and arrangements for your home before you book.
Reach the wood that needs treatment
Share any existing inspection report or photos; you don’t need to enter the crawl space. We remove floor insulation as part of mold treatment and do not reinstall it. Replacement insulation needs another contractor.
Remove growth from the wood
Compressed air carries baking-soda particles across the affected surface to loosen growth. We explain the treatment proposed for your wood, including any other products, before you decide.
Clean up and address the dampness
Blasting creates dust and loosened material, so preparation and cleanup are part of the plan. We explain how the work area will be handled and what moisture-control work is needed to help keep growth from returning.
Help keep mold from returning after treatment
Removing growth from the wood is one part of the job. The moisture that allowed it to grow also needs attention to help keep the problem from returning.
Water after rain
Crawl space drainage gives collected water a route out. We check the source before recommending a drain, because a leaking pipe needs a plumbing repair.
Exposed soil
A vapor barrier covers bare soil to reduce the ground moisture entering the crawl space.
Persistent humidity
Sealing openings reduces incoming humid air, while a dehumidifier removes moisture from the air inside. These can form part of an encapsulation plan alongside mold treatment.

Can soda blasting repair damaged floor joists?
No. It cleans the surface of the wood; it cannot restore strength to a weakened joist. If we find decay or structural damage, we explain why it needs a separate repair assessment.
Do you remove and replace the insulation?
We remove floor insulation as part of crawl space mold treatment and do not reinstall it. Replacement insulation needs another contractor. Your estimate explains that scope before the work begins.
Can we stay home during treatment?
Homeowners can usually stay home during crawl space work. We discuss the conditions, preparation, cleanup, and any areas you need to stay out of before scheduling. Do not assume the same arrangements apply to every property.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
The affected area, access, preparation, and other work affect price and timing. Combined crawl space and mold projects typically take four to five working days; blasting alone can differ. We confirm your written price and schedule before booking.
Can I request treatment without full encapsulation?
Yes. Soda blasting can be part of a separate crawl space mold project. The moisture that allowed growth still needs attention, so we explain any drainage, ground cover, or humidity improvements separately.
Are other products used with the baking soda?
Baking soda is the blasting material. The full treatment can depend on the conditions found. Tell us about any products you want to avoid so we can explain the proposed method before you approve it.
