Precision Hydroblasting for Superior Surface Preparation
Hydroblasting is the gold standard for removing old plaster, coatings, and buildup without damaging the pool shell. Our hydroblasting services provide a clean, ideal surface for resurfacing and remodeling projects.
This environmentally responsible method delivers superior adhesion for new finishes while preserving structural integrity.
- Rough, abrasive texture that's uncomfortable to touch
- Staining that won't respond to cleaning
- Custom Tile, Coping & Decking: Choose from natural stone, porcelain, travertine, or stamped concrete finishes
- Visible cracks, structural damage or leaks.
- Discoloration or chalky appearance
- Exposed aggregate or gunite showing through
When Hydroblasting Is Recommended
Hydroblasting is especially recommended when long-term durability and finish performance are priorities. Pools with multiple layers of old plaster, hollow or delaminated surfaces, or previous coating failures benefit significantly from hydroblasting’s precision and consistency. It is also the preferred method for commercial pools, high-end residential projects, and any resurfacing where manufacturer warranties or strict performance standards must be met. When done correctly by experienced professionals like Midwest Plastering, LLC, hydroblasting sets the foundation for a superior finished pool.

Benefits of Hydroblasting
Beyond superior surface preparation, hydroblasting offers long-term performance benefits that traditional mechanical removal methods cannot match. By using high-pressure water instead of jackhammers or chipping tools, hydroblasting preserves the integrity of the pool shell while creating an ideal bonding profile for new plaster or aggregate finishes. This results in stronger adhesion, reduced risk of future delamination, and a longer-lasting finished surface—making it the preferred preparation method for high-quality residential and commercial resurfacing projects.
