Our Projects
Owies Vapor Blasting is able to prep the surface and remove coatings that meet all standards for the degree of cleanliness blasted steel. This includes removing industrial coatings for inspections, Preparing surfaces for coating, Cleaning storage tanks, removing rust and mill scale and exposing welds for repairs and inspections.
With ultra-low dispersal characteristics, Our system eliminates 92 percent of airborne particles and can be used almost anywhere, including enclosed spaces, or in locations that need less containment than if you were sandblasting. This means we are also able to remove road markings, clean up signage, blast concrete paths and driveways.
Owies Vapor Blasting can clean old or new brick, block, and/or stone without opening up or causing damage to the face and zero discoloration or mottling.
We can also restore wood structures without damaging the wood or raising the grains.
Our system removes coatings and rust, can clean and polish old wrought iron, surface metals, statues, graves and headstones, and all without causing damage or effecting the integrity of the surface. We can also remove mold, grime, surface dirt and corrosion gently without damage, while restoring and protecting the character of artifacts.
Traditional methods of cleaning boat bottoms such as sandblasting, soda blasting, chemical stripping or high pressure can damage the gel-coat, create thin inconsistent areas, leaving a profile paint can’t adhere to. These methods make vessels vulnerable to damage.
We can clean vessels without damaging the protective gel-coating over the fiberglass and leave a perfect 80 grit finish, the ideal anchor pattern for paint adhesion.
We can also expose welds for inspection and maintenance of steel and aluminum hulls, remove old varnish, clean and brighten teak decking to almost an original color, without damaging the expensive wood.
Most graffiti removal methods like chemicals and soda-blasting are not safe for the environment, killing surrounding vegetation. Pressure washing, chemical stripping, soda blasting, and sandblasting can destroy brickwork and damage wood.
Our Vapor Blast system can strip paint while protecting the sub-surface. Because we can adjust the pressure we can remove paint layer by layer, removing graffiti even from painted surfaces like metal or wooden signs.
Owies Vapour Blasting system can be used at pressures as low as 30 psi (2.1 bar) for delicate surfaces like sandstone and limestone or as high as 125 psi (8.7 bar) for stubborn surface coatings.
We can remove splatters of bitumen, asphalt, concrete, chewing gum, paint and stucco from materials such as brick, roadways and concrete.
Our system is also excellent for cleaning the equipment used for applying these materials.
We can also clean mold, fungus, marine growth, leaching from the soil, and rust preparing surfaces for being painted or sealed, whether they need to just be cleaned or profiled for best adhesion. We can use our system to clean brick, concrete paths and driveways, teak furniture, industrial equipment, roads, decks and patios.
