Interior Exposed Brick Cleaning

Attention DIY'ers and General Contractors! Sodablast.ca is pleased to offer cleaning of interior exposed brick walls. Whether it is removing paint, excess mortar, or plaster remnants, we can clean it off with minimal disturbance to the brick!

Exposed brick is a very popular interior design element is older buildings, but often the brick is dirty, partially painted, or covered in sloppy mortar or excess plaster. Our blasting service will remove the paint, mortar and plaster with less damage than traditional sandblasting, and without chemicals. Put away the wire brushes, grinders and other tools, our blasting will clean your walls up in hours, not weeks!

Our services are designed for homes under renovation as this service is extremely loud and dusty. Our specialized blasting equipment is very flexible in that we can blast at lower pressures than standard blast equipment allowing us to cater the blasting to your specific requirements.

Not every wall is a candidate, but if properly done the exposed brick can transform a room. Please find the following considerations for cleaning interior brick walls:

Brick condition/type of brick
Amount of paint/mortar/plaster on surface
Containment of debris (we suggest only blasting when house is under renovation as debris is fine and hard to contain)

Effective Results

Our removal options are highly effective on most types of markings without significant scarring of the road surfaces

Removals of pavement markings with soda and or lime are highly effective on most types of markings without significant scarring of the road surfaces. These medias are environmentally friendly and require very minimal if any cleanup. Sand blast removal of markings can be much faster but generally is more destructive to the asphalt surfaces and also requires more cleanup. Unlike grinding, blast removal of pavement markings, road markings and parking lot lines does not leave shadows or undesired markings which can confuse drivers.

Blast removal of Pavement Markings with Armex^® Baking Soda & Imery^® Calcium Carbonate blast medias are techniques recognized and approved by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. Our firm is MTO approved for these services. Please refer to the TRA (The Roads Authority) for more details. Our mobile truck unit comes equipped with an Armex 12sx, #8 Nozzle, 375 cfm compressor and we are capable of minor traffic control configurations (we have flashing strobe lights, pylons, TC 2,3,4 and Traffic Manual 7 available). Our capabilities are small to mid size applications as our production rate ranges up to about 50m per hour, for larger jobs requiring multiple blast rigs please inquire.

Vapour Blasting

Clean, degrease and restore your automotive, aviation and industrial food grade parts with Vapour Blasting.

Sodablast.ca - Restore your specialty automotive, motorcycle, ATV/snowmobile, aircraft and industrial food grade parts with vapour blasting. Vapour blasting is an environmentally friendly process that is extremely effective for cleaning and degreasing a variety of metals without warping or changing the dimensions of the part.

Types of Metals

Vapour blasting is effective on aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin, titanium, zinc, brass and other non-ferrous metals and alloys. Vapor blasting works by using an abrasive (usually glass bead) in a water solution that is accelerated by compressed air and produces a very uniform soft closed surface finish that is clean and degreased.

Part Size

We have both dry and wet blast cabinet equipment and an automatic parts washer. At 48" x 42", our wet cabinet accommodates parts larger than our competitors.

Applications

Where other methods don't get the job done, or can damage the part, vapour blasting is well suited for aluminum motorcycle and automotive parts such as heads, intakes, transmission housings, brackets and wheels, as well as diesel engine components such as injection pumps, heads and pistons. It is also effective for removal of burrs from manufactured components.

Location & Rates

Our shop is located between Simcoe and Delhi in Southwestern Ontario. Ship your parts to us, drop them off, or, if time permits, we can blast while you wait! Shave hours off work time, here are some typical examples:

ATV engine case: 0.5-1hr
aluminum rim (clear coat previously removed): 1hr
V8 aluminum intake: 1hr
Two cylinder motorcycle engine including crankcase, side covers, heads, cylinders: 3hrs

Actual time required depends on the size and condition of the piece. The cleaner the part is when we receive it means less time for us, and bigger savings for you. If moving parts require disassembly or degreasing, this is done at our shop rate. We suggest having the piece completely cleaned and degreased with any silicone sealers, paint or clear coat removed to maximize your savings.
