Most contractors think of blowback as an add-on to ballasted roof vacuuming. At Vac-It-All, blowback is a fully independent service — one of the most powerful and cost-effective tools in commercial roofing and industrial site work, available to any contractor who needs aggregate, gravel, stone, or bulk material moved from point A to point B without a crane, conveyor, or costly haul operation.

Using high-powered pressurized air systems purpose-built for heavy-duty material relocation, Vac-It-All’s blowback service moves bulk material farther, faster, and more economically than any alternative method. If you’ve been writing haul-off and re-delivery into your project budget, there’s a better way.

Vac-It-All’s blowback systems use pressurized air to propel aggregate, gravel, stone, and other bulk materials through hose at high velocity — delivering material precisely where it needs to go with no manual handling, no conveyor setup, and no crane time. The reach and capacity of our equipment is unmatched in the industry:

Blowback isn’t just for roofing. Anywhere bulk material needs to be relocated efficiently, precisely, and without heavy equipment, our blowback service delivers. Roofing contractors, general contractors, facility managers, and industrial site operators all rely on Vac-It-All blowback for a wide range of applications:

• Ballast redistribution on flat and low-slope roofs — return aggregate to the roof deck after vacuuming without haul-off and re-delivery costs
• New aggregate placement on roof systems — blow new ballast rock to the roof deck without cranes or manual bucket operations
• Bulk material relocation on constrained job sites — move material around obstacles, across long distances, or to areas with limited equipment access
• High-rise and multi-story building projects — deliver aggregate vertically to upper-floor roof decks where conventional equipment cannot reach
• Industrial bulk material repositioning — relocate aggregate, stone, and similar materials within industrial facilities or outdoor sites
• Combination vacuum and blowback operations — vacuum material from one area and blow it back to another in a single continuous operation

Vac-It-All has been operating blowback systems in the field since 1979. Our equipment isn’t adapted from something else — it’s purpose-built for the demands of high-volume commercial material relocation, and our operators have more experience running blowback on complex job sites than any other contractor in the industry.

When a roofing contractor, general contractor, or facility manager needs bulk material moved quickly, safely, and without a fleet of equipment taking over their job site — Vac-It-All blowback is the answer.
