The Industrial Cleaning Method That Gets It All the Way Clean
Scale, process residue, coatings, and hardened deposits don’t respond to standard cleaning methods. They require controlled high-pressure water capable of breaking apart buildup without damaging critical infrastructure or process equipment.
Mid-State Industrial provides industrial hydroblasting services across Oregon using trailer-mounted Jetstream hydroblasting systems capable of delivering up to 20,000 PSI. Our crews remove sludge, scale, hardened residue, coatings, and accumulated material from tanks, vessels, trenches, piping systems, drainage infrastructure, and industrial production equipment in demanding operating environments.
Unlike abrasive blasting or chemical cleaning methods, hydroblasting uses pressurized water to clean surfaces, restore flow, and improve system performance while supporting safer, more environmentally conscious operations. When paired with vacuum recovery and containment systems, material and wastewater can be safely captured and removed from the work area.
We support planned shutdowns, outages, seasonal maintenance programs, emergency response work, and ongoing industrial cleaning operations for facilities throughout Oregon, including pulp and paper mills, food processing facilities, manufacturing plants, refineries, tank farms, and heavy industrial sites.
What Hydroblasting Removes
High-pressure water is effective against materials that resist conventional cleaning:
- Scale and mineral deposits – calcium, silica, and process-related buildup
- Coatings and linings – paint, epoxy, rubber, and protective coatings requiring removal
- Process residue – food product, chemical, and industrial process deposits
- Corrosion products – rust, oxidation, and surface contamination
- Refractory and concrete – spalled material and surface preparation for reapplication
- Sludge and production buildup -material accumulation in pits, trenches, hoppers, digesters, and process systems
Our Hydroblasting Process
Industrial hydroblasting equipment delivers high-pressure water cleaning for industrial shutdowns, surface preparation, line cleaning, and heavy industrial maintenance applications.
Pre-Job Survey
We assess equipment condition, access requirements, confined space classification, and project scope before work begins
Detailed Proposal
You receive a clear scope of work, scheduling plan, and cost estimate before mobilization
Safe Setup
Confined space permits, atmospheric testing, site safety controls, and work procedures are established before cleaning begins
Hydroblasting
High-pressure water cleaning is performed using industrial hydroblasting equipment and application-specific tooling to safely remove buildup, residue, and process material from equipment and surfaces
Waste Containment
Process water, sludge, and removed debris are collected and handled in accordance with environmental requirements
Post-Job Verification
Surface condition and cleaning results are reviewed before equipment is returned to service
Who We Serve
Many facilities combine hydroblasting with drain line jetting, trench cleaning, catch basin cleaning, & industrial vacuum recovery during shutdowns & scheduled maintenance periods. As a result, Mid-State can coordinate multiple industrial cleaning services under a single mobilization.

Confined Space Entry Capable
Many of the systems that require hydroblasting, including tanks, vessels, digesters, pits, trenches, vaults, and enclosed process equipment, are classified as permit-required confined spaces under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146.
Mid-State’s crews are trained & equipped to safely perform hydroblasting work inside these confined-space environments. As a result, all work is performed in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 confined space entry procedures & industrial safety protocols, including:
- Atmospheric monitoring
- Permit-required confined space protocols
- Attendant and entry supervisor assignments
- Ventilation and hazard mitigation procedures
- Lockout/tagout coordination
- Emergency response planning
Industrial confined-space cleaning requires more than pressure washing equipment. Instead, it requires trained personnel, documented safety procedures, & coordination with facility operations & shutdown schedules.
No Chemicals. No Abrasive Media. Controlled Waste Handling.
Hydroblasting is an environmentally responsible cleaning method. Because it uses only water:
- No chemical cleaning agents required for most applications
- There is no abrasive media to collect and remove
- Wastewater and removed material can be captured, contained, and handled appropriately based on facility requirements
- It’s safe for use in food-grade and environmentally sensitive environments
For facilities managing environmental compliance obligations, this matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pressure levels do you use for hydroblasting?
Pressure levels are selected based on the material being removed, the surface being cleaned, and the facility’s operational requirements. Our equipment supports both high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure hydroblasting applications for industrial cleaning environments.
Can you work inside tanks and enclosed vessels?
Yes. Our operators are trained and equipped for confined-space entry in permit-required spaces, including atmospheric testing and full-entry protocols.
Do you work during planned shutdowns?
Yes. We regularly schedule hydroblasting work during planned maintenance shutdowns to minimize production impact. Contact us early. Shutdown windows fill up fast.
How do you handle the wastewater generated?
Process water and debris are collected and managed in accordance with Oregon DEQ requirements. We handle the waste stream. You don’t have to.
