Vehicle Mould Decontamination
As an industry leader in mould remediation, Juvenaire has studied, trialled and implemented successful mould removal methods into it’s vehicle mould decontamination service. Through stringent testing these advanced methods have proven to be the most successful within the industry.
Benefiting from Juvenaire’s experience advanced mould removal products, Auto-Decon services apply efficient and cost-effective mould removal techniques to affected vehicles.
Vehicle Mould And Moisture
A vehicle damaged by either General or Black Water can also lead to serious mould growth. Mould will grow on any surface that provides moisture and a food source and ultimately affects vehicle carpets, upholstery and other porous materials.
The problem is two-fold. Not only can the hair like strands of the mould spore (the hyphae) permanently damage upholstery, but the spore itself can be harmful for humans if inhaled.
This is why it is important to have mould affected vehicles meticulously treated, so that the restored vehicle can be returned 100% clean and safe.
Thorough vehicle mould decontamination will involve each vehicle being assessed individually, and a remediation plan specific to the vehicle will be applied. Below is a review of the general process associated with each category of water damage:
General Water Mould Damage: treatment traditionally involves drying, cleaning and fogging of the vehicle, followed by a detailed clean.
Black Water Mould Damage: treatment may require the additional removal and treatment or replacement of affected interior parts, together with drying, cleaning and fogging of the vehicle, followed by a detailed clean.

There are two types of odours, “real odour” a pure sensation of smell transmitted to the brain and ‘psychological odour’ or ‘heightened awareness odour’ that people think they smell based on experience, suggestion and past experience. The latter is the most difficult odour to address for the restoration technician.
Odour can be difficult to eliminate. As such Vehicle assessment will take place on a case by case basis.

When water enters a motor vehicle, absorption of water into door linings, seats, carpets, the sub-floor, the dashboard and other soft furnishings can cause serious damage. If left untreated, water absorption can result in mould growth and can cause further damage. Time is of the essence and swiftly addressing a water impacted vehicle is paramount to its successful remediation.
