Building Facade Cleaning
Power Washing & Soft Washing Commercial Facades
Commercial properties have a plethora of facade substrates, each of which require different cleaning methods to protect and achieve the best results. Hiring just anyone can lead to extremely costly repairs and/or more frequent maintenance.
What is the best methodology?
- Mason/concrete facade substrates can withstand medium to higher pressure, but in some instances soft washing is recommended.
- EIFS, stucco, alucobond panel, aluminum/vinyl siding and other compounds are fragile and require soft washing (low pressure).
- Our advanced equipment allows us to work 30’-40’ from the ground in most situations, increasing production and job safety.
- Lift booms can be used to access buildings that are taller or more restrictive.
What are the advantages of keeping my building clean?
- Maintaining a clean, professional image is essential to any brick business.
- Environmental buildup is highly detrimental to any surface; it stains and breaks down the surfaces if left unattended.
- Hidden repair costs due to damages caused by natural buildup are eliminated.
- Future cleanings are typically then accomplished by means of soft washing (low pressure), and less concentrated solutions.
How often should a commercial building be cleaned? When is the best time?
- Commercial building exterior washing is recommended every two years.
- Colder months are not ideal due to possible freezing issues.
- Warmer months are preferred as solutions work their best, and debris tends to be more easily removed, leading to better results.
- Commercial structures typically have foot and vehicle traffic. It’s best to schedule service when this activity is at a minimum for safety and ease of operations.
