Gum – A Sidewalks Worst Enemy!
One of the hazards of having a sidewalk or really any concrete surface that the public at large walks on is gum. You know what I mean. The little, round black spots all over the concrete. We have all seen it, some of the worst sidewalks can look like someone unloaded on them with a black paintball gun. Unfortunately, dealing with discarded gum is a reality and when it is your storefront it can be a nightmare. There are many reasons to deal with the problem sooner rather than later. Not only is it an eyesore for your property, if left unattended for a time, but those little black dots can also hitch a ride on customers shoes and end up inside your store!
Gum removal is no easy task. By the time gum turns black, the mechanical bonds that bind the gum to the concrete are very strong. Do it yourself gum removers often use chemicals that can harm the surface of your concrete. So what do you do? Many professional pressure washers may offer gum removal, but this is an area where you want to be picky. Choosing the wrong pressure washer to perform gum removal could result in an incomplete job or worse, ghosting effects, where the outline of the gum still remains, permanently staining your sidewalk!
