There are companies that deal with mold all the time--and take all the furniture to a very controlled warehouse type place--deal with the mold using chemicals, etc--and store everything wrapped in plastic shrink wrap until the premises is ready for everything to be moved back in--but I am pretty sure they would just go to a piano technician (us) when it comes to the piano. I have been asked to help with a couple of situations like this, and I believe the piano was sent off to a re-builder in bad cases like this, and all the felts, etc. were replaced. So, with this customer being really sensitive, I would just think a new piano, (or a re-build possibly)would almost be a no-brainer. My humble opinion, for what it's worth.
