Inland heat bakes oil into concrete faster than anywhere else we work. By the time a Riverside lot or dock apron is a few summers old, the stains are part of the slab.
Blasting takes them back out. We are based in Chino, so Riverside, Corona, Ontario and Fontana are close enough that we can test a patch, show you the result and schedule the work the same week.
Industrial work is where blasting pays
Dock aprons, fuel islands at truck stops, equipment pads and steel that needs to be taken to bare metal before coating are the common requests here. We also strip old striping in yards that are being laid out again.
Local conditions in Riverside
Riverside runs hot from late spring into fall, and oil, gum and spilled drinks bond to concrete quickly in that heat. The city sits in a basin where smog and freeway soot from the 91, the 60 and the 215 settle, and freight trains run through the middle of town adding diesel exhaust. Santa Ana winds bring dust off the hills and the river bottom. There are many mature trees downtown and along the older avenues, so sidewalks pick up leaf stains, sap and bird droppings. Hard water from sprinklers leaves white scale on walls, glass and monument signs.
Storm drains in Riverside empty to the Santa Ana River, which runs along the north and west sides of the city. We recover wash water on site so it does not carry oil, soap or sediment there.

Riverside FAQs
Sandblasting in Riverside: your questions
Do you sandblast outside Riverside in the Inland Empire?
Yes. We cover Riverside and San Bernardino counties, including Corona, Moreno Valley, Ontario, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino.
Can I see a test area first?
Yes. We will blast a small test area so you can see the finish before committing to the whole job.
Is pressure washing safe for the historic brick and tile downtown?
It is when the pressure is kept low. Old brick, soft mortar, tile and cast stone near the Mission Inn can be damaged by a contractor who treats them like a warehouse slab. We use wide tips, lower pressure, hot water and cleaners suited to the stain, and we test a small spot first.
What is the difference between sandblasting and pressure washing?
Pressure washing cleans the surface with water and heat. Sandblasting uses abrasive media to remove a thin layer of the surface itself, which takes off stains, paint and rust that water cannot.
Will sandblasting damage my concrete?
Done correctly it leaves a clean, slightly textured surface. We test a small area first and adjust the media and pressure to the concrete.
Can you remove parking lot striping?
Yes. Blasting is one of the cleanest ways to remove old lines and curb paint before a new layout is painted.
