Glacier Blast Inc. offers building exterior cleaning by dry ice blasting. This process is the use of solid CO2 (carbon dioxide) pellets accelerated by compressed air to clean unwanted contaminates from the exterior surfaces of buildings. Dry ice blasting is safe, environmentally friendly and extremely effective.
Conventional methods of building exterior cleaning, media blasting and pressure washing leave behind secondary waste streams that create short and long term maintenance costs, environmental hazards and additional cleanup expenses.
If you use sand or any other abrasive media it will remove the contaminate but the media and media dust drifts and settles in and on electrical equipment and ventilation systems. It drifts and settles on parking lots, city streets and sidewalks. The media and dust retains moisture in electrical equipment which causes corrosion and arcing, often leading to a fire. The media dust suspended in the air creates an environmental hazard to people in the area.
Pressure washing forces water into cracks, under flashing, into electrical equipment and ventilation systems. While in process water runs across sidewalks and into street drains, mist drifts across streets and parking lots. Moisture in electrical equipment can cause corrosion and arcing, which could lead to a fire. In wood structures it causes wood to rot. If not properly dried before freezing temperatures arrive water forced into cracks will cause cracks to propagate in concrete, brick, stone and stucco surfaces.
Glacier Blast's building exterior cleaning solution, dry ice blasting, leaves no secondary waste stream. It does not create short and long term maintenance costs. There are no environmental hazards or additional cleanup expenses. In todays world dry ice blasting is by far the ultimate building exterior cleaning solution.
