Pier-and-beam framing mold plus metal corrosion
One dry ice scope handles both failure modes at once — spore load off heart pine and framing, chlorides and corrosion products off connectors, steel, and enclosures.

Industrial Cleaning in Charleston, SC
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.

What a Charleston 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.

Industrial questions from Charleston 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.
