Dry Ice Blasting
As anyone who has dealt with fire and mold cleanup can tell you, the most important aspects of cleaning are the speed and effectiveness of the project. Commercial projects especially require that the work be done rapidly to avoid downtime, while at the same time ensuring that job quality is not lost in the rush. To that end, we have recently updated our iceblasting technology to provide better service. We were one of the first companies in the area to use iceblasting, and we are one of the first to utilize the new, updated technology.
Iceblasting works on the same concept as sand or grit blasting, using compressed air to blast dry ice pellets instead of soda, sand or grit as the blast media. This provides several critical advantages over older methods of blasting:

Iceblasting works on the same concept as sand or grit blasting, using compressed air to blast dry ice pellets instead of soda, sand or grit as the blast media. This provides several critical advantages over older methods of blasting:
- Different nozzles and diffusers allow us to tailor our blasting to avoid excessive damage to the underlying material.
- Dry ice sublimates as it thaws, turning directly to gas and leaving no material behind. With regular grit blasting, all spent material must be removed by vacuum, which contributes to the cleanup cost and job duration.
- Unlike grid or soda blasting, dry ice does not turn into dust, which can irritate eyes and respiratory systems.
