In the age of Coronavirus, more projects are getting pushed aside than ever. Whether it was a new marketing campaign or the creation of a new position on your staff, there is a good chance that the financial stresses created by the pandemic resulted in a serious halt on projects you may have been excited to tackle.
That being said, there are some tasks that cannot be left for when the global pandemic subsides. When it comes to maintaining corrosion, putting this project on the backburner could result in serious damage of your building’s exterior and create a safety hazard.
If you are debating whether blasting services are crucial for your mill or factory at this point or if they can wait until later, check out today’s article on the four signs your building needs blasting. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to Know Your Factory Needs Blasting
-
Chipping Paint
One of the easiest ways to determine whether or not your mill or factory is in need of blasting services is to check the current state of your exterior paint.
Exterior paint is made of materials especially suited for withstanding the daily wear and tear of sun, rain, wind, and other weather-related conditions. Since exterior coatings and paints are designed for durability, cracked and chipping paint is much more than a minor issue.
When building exteriors show chipping paint, this means that the protective coatings have been compromised, leaving your building vulnerable to even more damage.
The first step to repairing this damage is through blasting services to clear away weak and damaged paint before new paint can be applied and more extensive restoration procedures can occur.
-
Rust
It doesn’t take an expert to know that rust is never a good sign.
If your building’s exterior shows rust, this means that excess moisture is clinging to the surface and causing damage. This kind of corrosion is highly dangerous for your mills or factories as it tends to spread and cannot be repaired, but must be removed.
Through blasting services, rust can be efficiently and effectively removed from your mill or factory’s exterior through a wide variety of our media blasting methods.
-
Discoloration
No one likes the look of a faded paint job. There are few things more frustrating than the way your carefully selected exterior paint color can change over time, in spite of your best efforts.
Typically, discoloration is a sign of heavy sun damage, but it is also a sign that blasting services are required.
If paint has faded, there is a good chance that enough time has gone by to indicate the necessity for a routine clean up. At the same time, discoloration can also be an indication that soot, dirt, and grime are affecting the appearance of your building’s exterior.
Blasting services can help clean up discoloration and get your paint job looking the way you intended it to.
-
Build Up
Dirt, salt, and other forms of buildup will naturally occur on your building’s exterior. Especially if you are in a location near salty ocean breezes or large quantities of soil, each new day is an opportunity for buildup to grow on your factory or mill’s exterior.
While unsightly, this buildup can also lead to corrosion that compromises the health and safety of your buildings.
Whether it is glass blasting, sand blasting, or another form of media blasting, blasting services are a surefire way to ensure that buildup does not cause any further damage to your factory or mill.
