LEDA of Allentown offers a variety of methods for removing mastic, epoxies, paints, and floor levelers from surfaces without damaging the aggregate. Various machines are employed by LEDA to remove the most stubborn of materials. Our shot-blaster cleans mastic residue left behind by flooring removal right to the very edge of the area that needs cleaning. The scabbler is used to remove thick carpet mastics. With the use of this highly specialized line of equipment, there is virtually no flooring material that cannot be conquered by the LEDA staff.
With the use of the Blastrac D-10 system and the 8-DEC edger, mastic can be removed from the entire area to within 1/4 inch of the wall quickly and efficiently. The Blastrac uses a collection system which leaves the work area clean. There are no hazardous or uncontrolled odors resulting from this removal procedure, and there is no fear of acid etching. Coating manufacturers recommend this method because Blastrac floor surface preparations make any floor last longer, regardless of the coating(s) selected. Plant maintenance engineers specify it because by reducing dust pollution, important pieces of plant machinery do not have to be shrouded and there is no clean up or disposal. Floor contractors employ it because they have reduced coatings failures which leads to fewer call backs.
