Trusted Surface Restoration Experts

Michigan-Based Hydroblasting for Efficient Industrial Cleaning Nationwide

Hydroblasting combines pressure and precision to strip away coatings, rust, and chemical buildup without harming underlying surfaces. This method keeps equipment and facilities performing at their best.

Equipment & Tank Cleaning

High-pressure water jetting clears away deposits inside tanks, boilers, and vessels. This process restores efficiency, prevents costly breakdowns, and helps extend the lifespan of equipment.

Surface Preparation

Hydroblasting removes paint, rust, and scale without harming the underlying material. The result is a clean surface that’s ready for recoating, repainting, or other finishing applications.

Maintenance Support

Ideal for plant shutdowns and scheduled maintenance, hydroblasting reduces downtime while ensuring critical assets stay clean, compliant, and ready to perform under demanding industrial conditions.

Tackling Tough Coatings & Heavy Buildup

Comprehensive Water Blasting Solutions for Every Industry

Many facilities face buildup that restricts output, corrosion that threatens safety standards, or layers of coating that interfere with proper recoating. Hydroblasting, also called water blasting, addresses these issues with controlled streams of high-pressure water that cut through tough residues while preserving the integrity of the surface beneath.

This industrial cleaning technique limits interruptions, prevents unnecessary wear, and supports sustainability by avoiding harsh abrasives. From pipelines and tanks to boilers and plant floors, the BlueWater crew delivers dependable cleaning that helps facilities remain productive, meet regulations, and prepare for future projects.

Hydroblasting FAQs

Hydroblasting can be used on many of the toughest jobs inside an industrial facility. It’s well-suited for cleaning the interiors of tanks and vessels, removing buildup from pipelines, clearing deposits in boilers and heat exchangers, and washing large production floors or heavy machinery.

The method also adapts to curved surfaces, corners, and hard-to-reach areas where manual cleaning often falls short. Because of this flexibility, facilities across the US and Canada rely on hydroblasting to maintain a wide variety of critical assets.

Sandblasting relies on abrasive grit, while chemical cleaning uses strong solutions. Both approaches can leave behind secondary waste and introduce risks to equipment or the environment. Hydroblasting uses only high-pressure water, so there is no abrasive residue or chemical byproduct to manage.

Cleanup is faster, safety concerns are reduced, and surfaces are left clean without added wear. Many industrial facilities prefer hydroblasting because it delivers powerful results while keeping the process simpler and more environmentally responsible.

The timeframe for a hydroblasting project will depend on the size of the equipment, the level of buildup, and the type of system being cleaned. Smaller tasks can often be completed in a single shift, while larger or more complex projects may require additional time.

Here are some general timeframes:

  • Small equipment or individual tanks: typically 4 to 8 hours
  • Large or complex equipment, such as recovery boilers: around 18 hours or less with automated systems
  • Facility-wide or multi-surface cleaning: may take a full day or more, depending on site conditions

Because hydroblasting relies on high-pressure water and often uses automated technology, the process can be faster than traditional methods. Cleanup is also simpler, since there is no abrasive grit or chemical waste to manage.
