When working on heritage brick or old stone, blasting it with high pressure or harsh abrasives can chew right through soft mortar joints. That just creates extra repair work and added costs on site.

DOFF and TORC superheated water systems use high heat and low pressure to strip away heavy carbon buildup, dirt, and paint without chewing up the masonry underneath, so you get a clean finish while keeping the original brick and mortar solid.

Is your site asbestos ready?

Asbestos removal requires certified specialists who thoroughly understand workplace safety risks and strict provincial regulations. Safe abatement relies on building airtight negative pressure zones to isolate the material and trap dangerous microscopic fibres.

Crews need to utilize specialized equipment setups, log daily progress updates, and secure final air clearance documentation. This careful process allows hazardous cleanup to proceed safely inside active buildings without stopping nearby plant operations. Relying on professional safety infrastructure is the only way to protect staff and keep company liability clear.

Restoring heritage masonry presents a strict engineering challenge. Conventional paint removal tactics relying on high pressure or aggressive abrasives often cause irreversible damage to original brickwork and mortar.

DOFF steam cleaning is the proven non-destructive alternative. By projecting superheated water at temperatures up to 150°C while maintaining low pressure, the system breaks the bond between paint layers and the substrate without forcing water into porous masonry. This technique cleans away heavy paint, grime, and biological build-up while keeping historic structures dry and undamaged.

Watch as our team uses DOFF cleaning to remove paint from this historic building and see the power of safer cleaning for yourself. Learn more about DOFF: https://bit.ly/3ShPNmG
