Sherbrooke's heritage stock (including Vieux-Nord) typically requires pH-neutral chemical gel (pH 6.5–7.5) with 30–60 minute dwell time — acidic strippers dissolve mortar calcium and leave white efflorescence on brick. We pre-test an inconspicuous patch before treating the visible area, with all rinse water captured to meet local stormwater rules.

Sherbrooke receives 1153mm of annual rainfall, which causes spray paint to penetrate porous surfaces like brick, stone, concrete rapidly — making prompt removal essential before paint bonds permanently.
