Bilge & Engine Room Cleaning
Strip oil, salt and grime from bilges and engine rooms without flooding the boat.
Strip oil, salt and grime from bilges and engine rooms without flooding the boat.
Bilges and engine rooms collect oil, salt, exhaust soot and biological growth in spaces with limited drainage and ventilation. Pressure washing leaves the bilge full of contaminated water; chemicals leave residue and fume hazards. Dry ice cleans bilges and engine rooms without adding to the bilge pump load or introducing chemicals into the marine environment.
