REMOVAL
Graffiti can be a costly and frustrating problem for property owners, municipalities, and historic preservation teams. Many traditional cleaning methods—like pressure washing or harsh chemicals—can stain, damage, or weaken the underlying surface. Abrasive blasting is the safest and most effective way to remove spray paint, markers, and adhesives from brick, stone, concrete, metal, and delicate historic materials. Our low-pressure blasting systems ensure thorough graffiti removal while protecting the integrity of the original surface.

Why Use Abrasive Blasting for Graffiti Removal?
Unlike chemical stripping or high-pressure washing, abrasive blasting provides a controlled cleaning process that removes paint, ink, and other contaminants without damaging or discoloring the surface.

Safe for Brick, Concrete & Historic Surfaces
Gently strips spray paint & adhesives without etching delicate surfaces.
Adjustable pressure settings ensure precise control on stone, wood, and masonry. Ideal for monuments, decorative facades, and historic preservation projects.

Faster & More Effective Than Chemicals
No need for harsh solvents or hazardous chemicals so less environmental impact. Removes multiple layers of graffiti in a single pass. Works on paint, permanent markers, industrial coatings or whatever you need to remove from whatever substrate.

Low-Dust, Eco-Friendly Cleaning & Restoration
Wet abrasive blasting reduces airborne dust by up to 92%, keeping job sites safe. Uses biodegradable abrasives that don’t stain or leave residue. Compliant with municipal, OSHA, and EPA environmental regulations (but we still recommend containment).

Works on a Variety of Surfaces & Substrates
Brick & masonry – building facades and monuments. Concrete – cleans sidewalks, parking garages, and infrastructure. Wood & metal – strips graffiti from doors, fences, and transit equipment. Glass & tile – removes paint without scratching or etching.
