Profile

Waterblasting Technologies manufactures the Stripe Hog® Waterblasting System and Smart Vac® Vacuum Systems.

The  Stripe Hog® Waterblasting System quickly and completely removes all types of durable traffic markings from asphalt and concrete surfaces with little to no damage to the surface. The Stripe Hog® does its work using many needle sharp 40,000 psi water jets and a powerful vacuum recovery system, called the Smart Vac® that leaves the road clean and almost dry. The resulting debris is quickly de-watered using a patented process, so that the debris can then be dumped in a dried state in one big clump that easily falls from the tank.

Waterblasting Technologies was founded in 1988 by its' current President & CEO, James P. Crocker. It began as a small pressure cleaning company named Pressure Cleaning Services Inc. servicing primarily the residential community. After becoming a thriving and successful residential and commercial painting company in 1995, high pressure water jet pumps became a valued part of the business in removing paint and various coatings. The opportunity soon arose to use these high pressure water jet pumps to remove road markings. Mr. Crocker was fascinated with the speed at which the markings were removed and the jets ability to remove such tough materials without substantially damaging the road surface.

The original Stripe Hog® was developed now more than nine years ago as the company sought to develop a machine that could semi-automatically perform the removal with near perfect performance. The company built and rebuilt numerous machines to service the growing list of customers using its' stripe removal services. This stripe removal service company still exists and operates under the name Waterblasting.com.  Through rigorous research and development, the Stripe Hog® Stripe Removal System has continued to evolve over the years. The speed at which the system was developed was drastically cut because as a contractor using the machines every day, the units had to reckon with real time results produced by every day continuous use. There became a growing number that thought the Stripe Hog® System would be a hot commodity if offered for sale to other contractors. There came a growing conviction that waterblasting in general has a great future, and that the Stripe Hog® is by far the fastest and most economical solution in the industry. Acting on those convictions the "Stripe Hog®" made its' debut at the annual ATSSA convention in Phoenix AZ in February of 2005. Now with 5 patents pending and a very short time passed, we have successfully sold in a good number of countries around the world and a respectable number of states as well.

Waterblasting.com has now successfully completed removal projects in some 30 of the 50 states across the USA.  WE DO NOT COMPETE WITH OUR CUSTOMERS, but performing work on the service end has really helped bolster  our equipment sales as well, as inspectors, engineers and DOT officials become exposed to the incredible results produced by the system. The dynamic really driving the waterblasting method is its ability to remove all markings while causing minimal damage to all types of road surfaces.

Waterblasting Technologies provides customer support that is second to none. Being a contractor ourselves gives us a clear understanding of the urgent nature of our business. You can reach one of our technicians 24/7 through our state of the art phone system, and 98% of parts ordered are shipped in the same business day.
