OUR SERVICES-

RUST/OXIDE REMOVAL & ABLATION

At TRUST REMOVAL, our corrosion and rust removal service uses advanced laser technology to eliminate corrosion, rust, and oxide from metal surfaces. This process targets and vaporizes corrosion without damaging the metal, offering a safer, cleaner alternative to sandblasting and chemicals. It’s cost-effective, saving time, reducing labor, and avoiding consumables. Customizable laser parameters ensure optimal results. Eco-friendly, it minimizes waste and avoids harsh chemicals, making it a sustainable choice for asset restoration.

PAINT, POWDER COAT & COATING REMOVAL

Laser cleaning makes outdated coating removal methods like sandblasting a thing of the past. Sandblasting and chemical stripping can be time-consuming and harmful to substrates. Laser cleaning safely removes coatings without damaging the surface and requires no additional clean-up. For hazardous coatings like lead or asbestos, traditional methods demand extensive protection and costly waste removal. Laser cleaning offers a safe, efficient solution, using air scrubbing fume extraction to eliminate hazardous dust and toxic gases.

TOOL/DIE & INJECTION MOLD CLEANING

At TRUST REMOVAL, our Injection Mold Cleaning and Tool/Die service uses advanced laser technology for precise, non-abrasive cleaning that removes build-up and contaminants without damaging the molds. This method reduces downtime, extends mold lifespan, and eliminates the need for costly chemicals and labor-intensive cleaning. Our eco-friendly process produces no harmful waste, supporting sustainable practices and reducing environmental impact. Trust us for cost-effective, cutting-edge mold cleaning that boosts productivity and preserves your equipment.

SMOKE DAMAGE & SOOT REMOVAL

Fire can be one of the most destructive forces on Earth, but with the right tools, restoration is possible. Laser cleaning is an effective solution for surfaces damaged by fire, as it safely removes soot buildup while preserving the integrity of the underlying material. Whether the soot is fresh or has been present for a long time, laser cleaning works on a variety of surfaces, including brick, concrete, glass, steel, cast iron, aluminum, chrome coating, natural stone, tiles, ceramics, wood, and plaster.

HISTORICAL ARTIFACTS CLEANING & RESTORATION

Restoration and conservation require care to avoid damaging surfaces. Laser cleaning is gentle, effective, and non-abrasive. It removes harmful deposits without sandblasting, chemicals, or pressure washing, which can cause permanent damage. Benefits include no harmful chemicals, no wastewater runoff, and no blasting media to dispose of. Any dust is cleaned with a HEPA vacuum, making the process truly green and clean. No waste enters waterways, and no airborne particles are released into the air.

CONCRETE/BRICK CLEANING & GRAFFITI REMOVAL

TRUST REMOVAL uses advanced laser technology to clean and remove markings without damaging surfaces. Unlike abrasive methods or chemicals, our process ensures thorough, damage-free cleaning while reducing labor costs and downtime. By cutting the need for consumables and maintenance, we provide long-term savings. Eco-friendly and cost-effective, we help maintain your property’s appearance without breaking the bank.

OIL & GREASE REMOVAL

Grease and oil removal using traditional methods is costly, messy, and time-consuming. TRUST REMOVAL quickly degreases surfaces with ease. Grease and oil are usually dark or black, making them ideal for laser cleaning. The dark layer absorbs the laser’s heat, evaporating without damaging the underlying material. Our technicians can remove grease and oil from various surfaces, including engine blocks, transmissions, mechanical parts, equipment, and tools.

ADVANTAGES OF MOBILE LASER CLEANING-

PORTABILITY AND ON-SITE FLEXIBILITY: Mobile laser units are easily transported to the worksite—whether it’s a rusted I-beam at a construction site, a ship hull in drydock, or machinery in a factory. This eliminates the need for transporting large, immovable objects to a fixed cleaning facility. Unlike stationary laser systems or traditional methods, which require specialized setups, mobile lasers offer unmatched convenience and flexibility for on-site work.

REDUCED SETUP TIME: Unlike sandblasting, which demands large containment areas, protective barriers, and extensive preparation, or chemical treatments that require mixing and curing zones, mobile laser devices are ready for use almost immediately. Their compact design allows for quick deployment, reducing setup time significantly and minimizing downtime, making them the ideal choice for time-sensitive projects that need efficient, fast results with minimal disruption.

PRECISION IN HARD-TO-REACH AREAS: Compact mobile laser devices, whether handheld or portable, are capable of targeting rust and other materials in tight spaces, complex shapes, or elevated structures (such as bridges or pipelines) with remarkable precision. Unlike traditional methods like manual scraping or bulky sandblasting, which face accessibility challenges and often require scaffolding or disassembly, mobile lasers offer superior accuracy and ease in difficult-to-reach areas.

MINIMUM ENVIRONMENTAL DISRUPTION: Mobile laser cleaning generates no chemical waste or abrasive debris, making it perfect for outdoor or sensitive locations where sandblasting dust or chemical runoff could damage ecosystems or breach regulations. Rust, coatings, and contaminants are vaporized into minimal residue, which can be easily managed on-site with basic ventilation. This environmentally friendly process ensures a cleaner, safer work environment with less impact on surrounding areas.

LOWER OPERATIONAL COST OVER TIME: Although the upfront cost of mobile laser units may be higher, they eliminate the need for ongoing purchases of consumables such as sand, chemicals, or brushes. For frequent, small-scale, or remote jobs, this efficiency outweighs the recurring costs and logistical challenges of traditional methods, especially in mobile settings where resupply is difficult. Over time, mobile lasers offer a more cost-effective and sustainable solution for many projects.

ENHANCED WORKER SAFETY: Mobile lasers eliminate exposure to toxic fumes from chemicals or airborne particulates from sandblasting. They require only basic protective gear, such as laser-safe goggles, ensuring safer working conditions. Additionally, their lightweight and ergonomic design reduces physical strain compared to handling heavy sandblasting hoses or manually scrubbing rust, making them a safer, more practical option for extended use in the field.
