Mold Remediation

A cabin problem you smell before you see — solved at the source.

What is mold remediation?

Mold remediation removes active mold growth from the cabin — soft goods, carpet, leather, headliner, vents and the moisture source feeding it. Parked aircraft with closed cabins are humidity traps, and mold is a health and airworthiness issue, not a cosmetic one. The AI estimator gives a round-about range, and our team confirms the final price after inspection.

HOW PRICING WORKS

Scoped to your airframe, confirmed by a person.

Mold Remediation scales with aircraft class and condition, so we do not publish a sticker price. Use the AI calculator on the services page for an instant estimate, or send the booking request — our team reviews the aircraft and comes back to you with the final price before anything is scheduled. Nothing is ever charged without your approval.

FULL SCOPE

  • Cabin inspection with moisture readings to find the source, not just the symptom
  • HEPA vacuum extraction of all soft surfaces and carpet
  • Antimicrobial treatment of affected leather, fabric and trim
  • Headliner, sidewall and vent-path treatment where growth has spread
  • Carpet and upholstery hot-water extraction where materials allow
  • Drying protocol and humidity guidance so it does not come back

APPROVED MATERIALS

  • Aviation-interior-safe antimicrobial agents — no chlorine on leather or trim
  • HEPA-filtered extraction, not redistribution
  • Moisture meter readings logged before and after

QC CHECKPOINTS

  • Moisture readings at source points back inside normal range
  • No visible growth under inspection light in treated zones
  • Cabin air smell-checked after a closed-door dwell, not straight after treatment

WHAT THIS PROTECTS

Mold eats organic cabin materials and puts spores into the air your passengers breathe. Left alone it migrates from a damp carpet edge into headliner and ducting, and remediation cost climbs with every month. The documented treatment in the aircraft record also answers the question every buyer asks about a musty cabin.

Questions owners actually ask

The cabin smells musty but I see nothing. Is that mold?
Usually, yes — smell arrives before visible growth. The common sources are carpet edges after a door left open in rain, galley and lav plumbing seepage, and long parking with the cabin sealed in humid climates. The inspection finds it; guessing does not.
Is mold in an aircraft actually a safety issue?
It can be. Beyond passenger health, sustained moisture that feeds mold also corrodes what is under the carpet — floorboards and control runs. That is why remediation starts with the moisture source and why the work is documented to the record.
How do I keep it from coming back?
Control the moisture: cabin dehumidifiers for parked aircraft, cracked vents during long storage where security allows, and drying wet carpet the day it happens rather than the month after. We leave you a written prevention protocol for your climate and hangar situation.
