The benefits of vapor blasting far outweigh the benefits of traditional blasting methods.  Some of these benefits include a safer, more environmentally friendly and cost-saving technology along with a 92% reduction in dust due to the use of water vapor and a 75% reduction in blast media usage.   Also, due to the use of water vapor, the work area is far reduced allowing for other trades to work in the immediate area, thus alleviating loss of production in surrounding jobs.
