Sidewalk Gum Removal

What This Service Involves

Busy commercial walkways accumulate flattened gum that Northwest moisture bonds tightly to the concrete. Our heated, focused cleaning melts and lifts each gum spot without gouging the surface. We treat the full walkway so the finished result is uniform rather than a patchwork of clean circles. Clean sidewalks keep shoppers comfortable and reflect well on every storefront along the block.

Benefits

Removes unsightly black gum spots completely; restores an even sidewalk appearance; improves the walking experience for customers; prevents gum from tracking into stores; keeps commercial frontage looking cared for

Our Process

1) Mark and count gum spots along the walkway; 2) Apply heat and solution to soften each deposit; 3) Blast gum free with focused hot water; 4) Wash the full sidewalk for a uniform finish

What Affects the Cost

Number and density of gum deposits; total sidewalk length; age and hardness of the gum; hot-water equipment needs; frequency of maintenance visits

Best Time of Year

Gum removal works year-round but is most efficient in warmer months when heat softens deposits faster.
