Warehouse Exterior Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Warehouse exteriors collect a heavy layer of diesel soot, brake dust, and road grime from the trucks that cycle through the docks all day. In Western Washington, the north and shaded walls also grow a green-black coat of algae and mildew that spreads across metal panels and tilt-up concrete. We soft wash the wall systems with a biocide blend that kills the organic growth at the root instead of blasting it off and leaving spores behind. The dock aprons and drive lanes get a hot-water surface clean to clear the oil and tire scrub that collects at every bay.
