Walkway Washing
Do you have sidewalks or walkways on your property that often get dirty? Maybe you don't even want a sidewalk but it simply can with your property and now you're stuck maintaining it. We at Whittakers Graffiti and Detailing know the best way to get that grimy, dirty sidewalk looking fresh and attractive for you.
We know how dirty a sidewalk can get, especially if it's in an area where it sees a lot of use by pedestrians. You may not think sidewalk cleaning is necessary or might think your sidewalk isn't that dirty. However, one washing and you will immediately see the difference.
Remove Dirt and Debris
Sidewalks are built to last and nothing lasts quite as long as concrete. Unfortunately, concrete's rough surface allows it to trap a variety of dirt, oils, and grime on its surface. These substances collect turning the white surface dark and dingy which detracts greatly from the appeal of its appearance. However, with sidewalk washing, we can easily remove all the contaminants that collect on its surface with ease, even tough oils and grease.
Prevent Damage
Sidewalk cleanings are also important when it comes to maintaining the longevity of your sidewalk. The dirt, debris, and other substances that accumulate on a sidewalk's rough, concrete surface don't just make it look dirty, they also actively eat away at the concrete.
Despite concrete being an extremely strong substance, it's still vulnerable to deterioration, especially if that deterioration is accumulating all at once on its surface. When concrete deteriorates enough, it becomes brittle and weak which leads to the formation of holes and cracks within its surface.
Did you know that too many contaminants accumulating in concrete can weaken it and result in the structure becoming cracked or damaged more easily? Even with a substance as tough as concrete, the elements can wear it down over time and cause a lot of damage. Regular sidewalk cleanings deter this type of deterioration and help to extend the sidewalk's lifespan.
Remove Growths
Another problem caused by the accumulation of dirt and oils on the sidewalk's surface is the trapping of moisture. This moisture doesn't only work also to deteriorate the concrete, but it encourages the growth of substances like algae and mildew. Slick growths such as these only serve to trap more dirt and moisture which helps them spread faster.
They make the surface of the sidewalk slick and dangerous to walk on, a bad fall can lead to a person injuring themselves badly. Our sidewalk cleaning service can remove these substances with ease while simultaneously disinfecting the surface with hot water to discourage the growth from returning.
Prevent Repair Costs
Maintaining the cleanliness of your walkways with regular sidewalk cleanings is not only beneficial for maintaining the appearance and safety of your sidewalk but also because it saves you money in the long run.
By cleaning your sidewalk regularly, you prevent the concrete from deteriorating and becoming cracked and damaged. A damaged sidewalk would be expensive to replace, but regular pressure washings are much more cost-effective in comparison. Other concrete surfaces should go unattended either, if you are considering a sidewalk cleaning, you may want to also get a driveway washing as well so your driveway can remain contaminant-free as well.
