If you own a home in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you are likely familiar with the white crusty buildup that appears on your pool tiles every summer. This is calcium scaling. Because our North Texas water is hard and the sun causes constant evaporation, these minerals bake onto your tile and stone until they are as hard as rock.
Many homeowners try to take care of this themselves by using pressure washers or scrubbing with pumice stones. Unfortunately, these methods are often ineffective or end up damaging the delicate glaze on the tile.
At Blackhawk Blasting, we provide a professional solution called Dustless Blasting. This method is the most effective way to restore your pool tiles and patio without the mess of traditional sandblasting.
Why Dustless Blasting is the Best Choice for Pools
Dustless blasting is a specialized process that mixes water and recycled glass abrasive inside the blast tank. This combination is perfect for residential pool areas for several reasons.
Safe for Patios: This same process works wonders on stone patios and brick walkways. It removes years of grime, algae, and mineral stains that a standard pressure washer cannot touch.
No Dust Clouds: Because the abrasive is trapped in water, it falls directly to the ground. This prevents a massive cloud of dust from blowing into your house or your neighbor’s yard.
Eco Friendly Media: We use recycled bottle glass. It is non toxic, chemical free, and safe for your family and pets.
Surface Protection: By adjusting our pressure and using a fine grade of recycled glass, we can strip away the calcium scale while keeping your pool tile intact.
How Our Calcium Removal Process Works
We have streamlined our service to ensure your pool is back in action as quickly as possible.
Easy Cleanup: Once the tiles are sparkling, we rinse down the area and vacuum the spent glass and calcium from the bottom of the pool. The recycled glass is heavier than water, so it sinks to the bottom for easy removal.
Lower the Water Level: We only need to drain a few inches of water to reach the calcium line. You do not need to empty the entire pool.
Precision Cleaning: Our mobile team uses the dustless system to carefully blast the scale off the tiles and stone. The water in our system acts as a cushion, allowing for a thorough clean that is gentler than dry blasting.
