Minimum disruption, maximum turnover speed

Dry ice blasting for property management & multifamily

For a portfolio owner, restoration cost is mostly schedule cost: days a unit is offline, days a tenant is displaced, days a claim stays open. Dry ice blasting removes the water, the runoff, and the drying period from the middle of that schedule.

Why it matters

Wet cleaning in a multifamily building risks migrating water into adjacent units and shared assemblies. A dry method contains the disruption to the affected space.

Where it gets used

Unit fire and smoke turnover

Soot removed from framing, steel, and ductwork so rebuild can start without a drying hold and without runoff into neighboring units.

Crawlspace and common-area mold

Shared crawlspaces and mechanical rooms cleaned to source without adding moisture to a building envelope already under humidity load.

Parking decks and structural steel

Efflorescence, carbon, and corrosion product removed from decks, columns, and rails without washdown into storm drains.

Trash rooms and chutes

Baked-on organic residue and biofilm removed from surfaces that resist pressure washing.

Post-storm sequencing

Structural drying first, dry ice second — a documented order that keeps clearance results holding.

How we run the work

  • Containment plans written around occupied adjacent units
  • No runoff, no wastewater capture, no storm-drain discharge question
  • Photo and settings documentation formatted for carriers and adjusters
  • 24/7 emergency mobilization for portfolio events

Carolina context

Charlotte, the Triangle, Greenville, and Charleston are among the fastest-growing multifamily markets in the country, and coastal portfolios in Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, and the Lowcountry take repeated named-storm exposure. Both patterns reward a restoration method with no drying clock.

Questions we get

Can tenants stay in adjacent units?

In most cases yes, with containment, negative air, and CO2 monitoring in the work zone. The determination is made on site, not by policy.

How is this billed on a claim?

Line-item scope with photo documentation, square footage, and settings, written for adjuster review. See our insurance guide for the format.

Do you handle multi-building portfolio work?

Yes — recurring PM scopes and event response across a Carolina portfolio can be scheduled under one point of contact.
