San Diego dry ice blasting for marine, biotech & military.
Naval vessels, biotech labs, and marine equipment across San Diego County — cleaned without water, chemicals, or corrosive residue.
Mobile dry ice blasting — San Diego
Trusted around San Diego’s naval and biotech sectors.
San Diego’s economy runs on a distinct combination of military and naval operations, biotech and pharmaceutical research, and a major marine and shipbuilding industry along the harbor. Ice Blast Works has worked with facilities across San Diego County since 2014, including naval-adjacent contractors, biotech labs that need contamination-free equipment cleaning, and marine operators who can’t risk water intrusion or corrosion on vessels and equipment. Our mobile crews travel throughout the county, and every technician carries the insurance and OSHA training required to work on sensitive military and industrial sites.
The Ice Blast Works difference
No other provider comes close.
Experience, capacity, and specialized equipment that most providers can’t match — all on one crew, dispatched from a single call.
5-machine deployment capacity
We can mobilize up to five blasting machines and a full crew to your site simultaneously — completing large jobs in a fraction of the time.
Proprietary equipment others don’t have
For complex, high-difficulty jobs that standard dry ice blasters can’t reach or handle, we deploy specialized tooling built for the task.
Right machine for every application
Different contaminants — carbon, mold, grease, paint, soot, rust staining — demand different pressure and pellet profiles. We match both.
10+ years of industry experience
Dry ice blasting is not a skill learned on the job — there is no substitute for a decade of field experience across every material and site.
Fully insured — GL & workers’ comp
We carry full General Liability insurance and Workers’ Compensation coverage on every technician on every job site.
OSHA-trained technicians
Our crew holds OSHA training applicable across the majority of industrial work environments — confined space, PPE, and site protocol.

San Diego industries
Trusted around San Diego’s naval and biotech sectors.
San Diego is home to one of the largest naval presences on the West Coast, and dry ice blasting is well suited to the strict cleaning standards required around vessels, machinery, and equipment where corrosion and water intrusion are constant concerns. In the biotech and pharmaceutical sector, our process leaves no secondary residue or moisture, making it a fit for clean room fixtures and lab equipment that require a contamination-free cleaning method. San Diego’s marine and boating industry also relies on us for engine and hull-adjacent equipment cleaning that won’t damage gel coat or introduce water into sealed compartments.

FAQ
Common questions from San Diego clients.
Do you have experience working on or near military and naval facilities?
Yes, we have worked with naval-adjacent contractors and facilities in the San Diego area, and our technicians carry the insurance and OSHA training required for sensitive industrial and military-adjacent sites.
Is dry ice blasting safe for biotech and pharmaceutical clean rooms?
Yes. The process leaves no secondary media, residue, or moisture behind, which makes it well suited to clean room fixtures and lab equipment that require a contamination-free cleaning method.
Can you clean marine equipment without risking water damage?
Yes, dry ice blasting introduces no water, which makes it a safer option than pressure washing for marine equipment where water intrusion into sealed compartments or electronics is a concern.
How quickly can you respond to a job in San Diego?
Response times depend on crew availability and travel distance from our Inglewood base, but we typically schedule San Diego jobs within a few days to a week for standard requests.
Need a cleaner surface without slowing the job down?
