Longwood sits along a busy Central Florida commercial corridor, and steady foot traffic takes a toll on the concrete right where customers walk in. Gum gets dropped on storefront sidewalks and entrances, pressed flat underfoot, and then the region’s heat bakes it onto the surface until it’s a dark, stubborn patch that no amount of sweeping touches. It’s the kind of thing a customer notices at the front door before they notice anything else.
That’s exactly the problem we handle. At Holliday’s Pressure Washing Services, we remove gum from commercial sidewalks, storefront entrances, and walkways so the first thing people see on their way in is clean concrete instead of black spots.
If your entrances need attention, reach out and we’ll get you a quote. Call (407) 276-1343 to get started.
There’s more than one way to get gum off concrete, and the difference shows in whether your surface survives the process. Here’s what we bring to the job.
From your first call to the finished invoice, here’s how the job runs.
Reach out through our online form or by phone or text, and our office answers and gathers the details on the first contact. Because gum removal is priced on the area and the number of spots, commercial jobs are quoted with a custom estimate rather than a set rate, so you know the number before anything is scheduled.
Once the quote is approved, we put you on the schedule with a confirmed date and set the work for after hours or overnight. If the job has to happen during open hours, a crew member routes foot traffic with cones and A-frame signage to keep the area safe while we work.
On the day of service, the crew treats each spot with the hot-water unit at up to about 250°F. That heat softens and releases gum, oil, and grease from the concrete, the same approach we bring to drive-through lane cleaning, and we work spot by spot across the sidewalk, entrance, or walkway until every mark is off.
The area is rinsed clean. Near storm drains we run water first so only water enters the storm system, and we switch to an eco-friendly solution whenever we’re working close to waterways.
When the work is done you get before-and-after photos, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link by text or email. A few days later we follow up with a call to confirm everything still looks right, because we want the job settled to your satisfaction, not just marked complete.
Yes. Heat does the lifting, not brute force. The hot-water unit runs up to about 250°F and softens the gum so it releases from the concrete on its own, which means the surface isn’t gouged or scarred the way it would be if we tried to blast dried gum off cold. Your concrete comes out clean and intact.
Yes. The same hot-water unit that lifts gum also cuts oil and grease, so entrances, walkways, and any nearby flatwork can be handled in a single visit. It’s the same heat we rely on when degreasing dumpster pads, where baked-on grease is the whole problem. If your storefront has both gum by the door and grease further out, we treat it all in one trip rather than making you book twice.
If your storefront entrances or sidewalks need clearing, we’ll get you a free quote and a date that fits your schedule. A clean entrance is the first impression every Longwood business makes on the commercial corridor, and it’s an easy one to get right. Call (407) 276-1343 and we’ll take it from there.
