Need Gum Gone? Chewing gum removal can be a sticky situation, whether it is stuck on your concrete, parking lot or the side of a building, chewing gum eventually turns into a smudge on your concrete. But usually before then, pedestrians and clientele coming into a business will step on it and get it in all over your carpets and entryway mats. Then it is embedded deep into the carpet and into the porous surface of concrete or asphalt, just waiting for another person to step in it again, to track it somewhere else.

We are proud to provide gum removal as one of our commercial pressure washing services in Athens GA. Find more information on our service below:

METHODS FOR REMOVING GUM FROM CONCRETE

The best methods for removing chewing gum from concrete depends on how long the gum has been stuck there and level of penetration into the concrete surface. If the gum was left recently and it hasn’t penetrated the surface yet, we are sometimes able to get it off by covering it with ice until the gum freezes, then scraping it off with a metal putty knife.

The ice forces the gum to freeze into a workable substance compared to a gooey and stringy mess. Once the chewing gum is frozen, we slide a putty knife or scraper under the gum residue. After that we move the scraper very slowly under the gum and the whole piece should then peel right off the concrete.

The above method is only possible with brand new gum.

When we remove gum that has turned black, or is smashed deep down into the concrete, we use a hot water pressure washer with the heat turned up to 200 Degrees to melt the chewing gum. For this type of gum removal service, we will not use very high pressure because that might harm the surface of the concrete!

Our pressure washers never uses any more pressure than needed to safely clean commercial concrete surfaces. These surfaces can be destroyed a lot easier than most people think, especially if they’re only 1-2 years old. Concrete can take up to 100 years to cure. That is why we always use hot water and the least amount of pressure possible for our chewing gum removal professional.
