Our Specialized Mold Remediation Process

Our comprehensive Mold & Odor Remediation package is designed to effectively eliminate mold, mildew, and associated odors from your vehicle's interior. Using advanced cleaning techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, our expert technicians will thoroughly sanitize and refresh your car's cabin, ensuring a healthy and pleasant driving environment.

  • 1. Thorough Inspection

    First, we assess the overall severity of the infestation and create an individual plan of action for the vehicle. Things we look for are areas of moisture, sources of odor and mold colonies.

  • 2. Deep Cleaning

    Using industrial grade mold treatments, we remove mold from surfaces inside the vehicle. 

    Interior surfaces like carpet, doors, plastics and trim are treated to kill mold. In this step, we also remove excess water to control mold growth.

  • 3. Odor Neutralization

    All surfaces inside of the vehicle are steamed in order to sanitize surfaces and remove odor causing contamination. Carpets and upholstery are treated with a deep shampoo and enzyme treatment with mold odor inhibitor to penetrate deep into the fibers.

  • 4. Air Sanitation

    An ozone treatment is performed inside of the vehicle as a final mold treatment, pruifiying air in hard to reach cracks and crevices, reaching into vents to kill mold spores in the air, cabin and HVAC system.

Our process includes multiple rounds of treatment methods to ensure that mold levels are returned to baseline, preventing future infestation reoccurance.

Common indicators that there may be mold inside of your vehicle

Visual Signs

Discoloration

Look for unusual stains or discoloration on the upholstery, carpets, ceiling lining, and other interior surfaces.

Visible Mold Growth

Keep an eye out for any fuzzy, slimy, or powdery growths, especially in corners, seams, and under the seats.

Olfactory Signs

Musty Odor

A persistent musty or earthy smell is a common telltale sign of mold presence.

Dampness

If your car smells damp or stagnant, mold spores may be thriving in the moist environment.

Tactile Signs

Wet Surfaces

Feel around for wetness or dampness in the carpets, upholstery, and other fabric surfaces which can promote mold growth.

Soft Spots

Check for areas in the upholstery or carpet that have become soft, which may indicate mold has begun to break down the materials.

Respiratory Symptoms

Allergic Reactions

If you or your passengers start experiencing sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes while in the car, these could be allergic reactions to mold spores.

Breathing Difficulties

Notice any respiratory difficulties, such as wheezing or shortness of breath, particularly in individuals with asthma or respiratory conditions.

Underlying Issues

Leaks

Inspect for signs of water leaks in the vehicle, including around the sunroof, windows, and door seals.

Condensation

Look for excessive condensation on the inside of windows, which can foster a moist environment for mold.

Water Accumulation

Check for standing water or damp areas in the trunk, footwells, or under floor mats.

Other Considerations

History of Water Damage

 If your vehicle has had previous water damage or flooding, it's highly susceptible to mold growth.

Lack of Ventilation

Cars that are often closed up without proper ventilation can create an environment where mold easily prospers.

Lack of Use

ehicles that see less frequent use, particularly in humid climates or are stored for long periods, are more prone to mold.

Caution

Mold Can Be Hazardous to Your Health

Please be advised that the presence of mold in your vehicle is potentially hazardous to your health. Mold exposure can lead to serious health complications, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions such as asthma, allergies, or immune disorders. If you suspect that your vehicle may be contaminated with mold, we strongly recommend that you seek professional remediation services immediately.
