Flood-affected framing after river rise
Structural drying first, dry ice second — staining and spore load come off studs, joists, and sheathing without restarting the drying clock.

Industrial Cleaning in Asheville, NC
Presses, molds, conveyors, ovens, tooling, motors, and electrical enclosures are cleaned in place — frequently hot and without teardown — so the maintenance window shrinks instead of stretching.

Why Asheville changes how this job is done
Craft brewing and beverage production, outdoor-gear manufacturing, hospitality, and specialty food processing where sanitation cleaning must avoid standing water.
What a Asheville industrial scope looks like
- Step 01
Line walk and downtime plan
Assets are prioritized against the actual outage window, with test panels on representative surfaces to confirm pressure and dwell before the shutdown starts.
- Step 02
Ventilation and CO2 monitoring
CO2 is heavier than air. Monitors and forced ventilation are set for pits, tanks, and low-lying spaces, held to a 5,000 ppm TWA and 30,000 ppm STEL.
- Step 03
In-place blast cleaning
Adhesive, resin, carbon, release agent, grease, and product buildup come off without disassembly, cooldown, solvents, or grit in the machine.
- Step 04
Restart and record
No media to collect and no wastewater to capture. Equipment goes back to production immediately with a per-asset record of settings and condition.
Standard of care
Work is planned around your lockout/tagout program, confined-space permits, and NFPA 70E boundaries, with CO2 monitoring and ventilation sized to the space before the first trigger pull.
Common Asheville calls
Mountain crawlspace and stone-foundation mold
Dry ice cleans wood grain and irregular masonry that pressure washing would soak and that sanding cannot reach.
Brewery and food-plant equipment sanitation
Tanks, conveyors, and packaging equipment cleaned in place with no rinse water, no wastewater capture, and no chemical carryover.
Industrial questions from Asheville property owners
Can you clean electrical equipment energized?
We work de-energized under your LOTO program as the default. Where energized work is unavoidable, it happens only inside your NFPA 70E boundary rules with your electrical authority involved.
Is dry ice blasting safe around food production?
The media is food-grade CO2 that sublimates completely, leaving no rinse water and no chemical carryover. It supports HACCP sanitation programs, but it is a cleaning step, not a substitute for your validated sanitizer.
How much downtime should we plan?
Most in-place work is scheduled inside an existing outage. Because there is no disassembly, no rinse, and no dry-down, the cleaning step usually removes hours rather than adding them.
