Boat & Hull Remediation

Boat Hull Remediation Services by Mold.ca

Properly maintaining your boat’s hull is essential for performance, longevity, and environmental compliance. At Mold.ca, we specialize in professional boat hull remediation, including the removal of old antifouling paint, surface preparation, and the application of new protective coatings. Whether you own a sailboat or powerboat, our expert team ensures that all work is carried out with precision, safety, and adherence to government regulations.

Professional Antifouling Paint Removal

Antifouling paint, designed to prevent marine growth, must be removed properly to avoid environmental contamination and ensure a smooth, effective reapplication. We use orbital sanding equipment combined with commercial-grade HEPA vacuum systems, capturing 99% of sanded material without the need for a large containment unit. Our advanced approach minimizes dust and debris, making the process cleaner and more efficient.

Comprehensive Boat Hull Remediation Services

We offer a full range of services tailored to your boat’s specific needs:

  • Commercial Powerwashing – High-powered cleaning to remove surface grime and residue before remediation begins (requires accessible water source).
  • VC17 Paint Removal – Government-mandated removal of VC17 antifouling paint, using 120-grit sanding pads to effectively strip up to three layers of paint below the waterline.
  • Containment Unit Construction & Removal – If required, we supply materials to build a temporary containment unit with a zipper enclosure and tarp flooring. After project completion, we disassemble the unit, remove all materials, and ensure proper disposal.
  • Antifouling Paint Removal – Complete stripping of old antifouling coatings to expose the gelcoat, ensuring a clean and stable surface for new applications.
  • Barrier Coat Application – Application of barrier coats on properly sanded hulls following manufacturer’s specifications (barrier coat materials to be supplied by the client).
  • Antifouling Paint Reapplication – Professional application of client driven antifouling paint according to manufacturer guidelines, ensuring optimal protection and longevity.
