Wood: beams, decks, siding (case-by-case after a test patch)
Industries: commercial/industrial facilities, municipalities/DOT, utilities, property management, contractors
Can you work around the public?
Yes. We schedule off-hours when needed, set barricades, and use wet methods and containment to limit migration. We coordinate with facility managers on access and noise windows.
Will you damage brick or wood?
Our foreman performs a test patch and tunes media and pressure to the substrate. On softer materials (historic brick, wood), we use conservative settings to preserve character while removing coatings.
Is “dustless” literally dust-free?
Not 100%. Wet abrasive blasting significantly reduces dust, but some dust can still be generated from the substrate and media; we use controls and PPE accordingly.
Can blasting warp metal?
No. The water serves as a cushion to absorb friction and reduce heat, making dustless blasting much less likely to cause warping than dry blasting.
What surfaces can be blasted?
Very versatile: effective on metal (steel, aluminum, galvanized), wood, brick/masonry, concrete, fiberglass, plastic, and composite materials, often safe even on delicate or historic substrates.
Is it environmentally safe?
Yes, there is less dust, often using recycled media, and less water consumption than pressure washing. Cleanup is more contained and site-friendly.
