Or Call Us NowWashPro SFV provides commercial gum removal for storefronts, shopping centers, restaurants and facilities across Los Angeles County and Ventura County. Our crews lift chewing gum off concrete with steam and targeted detergents, then finish with a full surface clean so the walkway looks uniform instead of spot treated. The company is licensed, insured, family owned and rated reputation for consistent, careful work.
Gum never leaves on its own. Foot traffic flattens each wad into a dark disc that hardens, collects grime and reads as a permanent stain. One spot becomes a constellation, and retail entries can carry hundreds of gum spots per storefront. At that density the concrete stops looking dirty and starts looking neglected, the one impression no tenant or store manager can afford at the front door.
It is also a mess your janitorial contract cannot touch. Brooms glide over gum, and mop water feeds the grime that clings to it. Even an ordinary cold water pressure wash smears softened gum across the slab, leaving an oily shadow bonded to the concrete. Gum takes a process built specifically for it, the most surgical job in our commercial exterior cleaning lineup and one of the fastest visual upgrades a property can buy.
Heat and chemistry do the lifting. Pressure only finishes. That order is what protects your concrete.
Raw pressure is the wrong tool for gum. Turn a cold water wand up high enough to blast a hardened disc off the slab and you can carve a pale scar into the finish that outlasts anything the gum would have done. Our crews run the sequence the other way around.
Step four is the one most owners do not expect, and it is the difference between a repair and an upgrade. Steam plus targeted detergent lifts gum without etching a clean spot into the surrounding grime, but pull eighty discs off a sidewalk that has not been washed in a year and you trade black polka dots for pale ones. That is why gum removal pairs with a full sidewalk cleaning, and why we quote the two together by default. You end up with one uniform slab instead of a record of where the gum used to be.
If people stand, wait or snack on your concrete, gum follows. The calls we get break down into a few patterns:
Most of these calls come from property and facility managers, and the brief is always the same: make the entry stop looking sticky, do it without closing the entry, and keep it that way. We are family owned and we send the same crew every visit, so the tech who mapped your spot count on the first walkthrough is the one keeping that count near zero afterward.
Nobody wants a wash crew working the doorway at Saturday noon. We build gum work around your traffic instead: early slots before the center opens, weekend mornings before the walk-in peak, quiet windows between deliveries. Crews run Monday through Friday 7a to 7p and weekends 7a to 1p, and multi building properties can be staged across consecutive mornings so no entry ever closes.
The first visit is usually a full reset, every spot lifted plus the complete walkway cleaned. After that, maintenance visits get shorter and cheaper because the count stays low. Typical starting points:
| Property Type | Typical Cadence |
|---|---|
| High traffic retail entry | Monthly to quarterly |
| Restaurant entries and patios | Monthly to quarterly |
| Shopping center walkways | Quarterly |
| Office plazas and campuses | Quarterly to twice a year |
| Parking structures and stairwells | Twice a year |
Treat the table as a starting point, not a rule. Foot traffic, food service next door and how close you sit to a bus stop all move the number. The walkthrough sets your real cadence, and we will tell you straight if you are about to buy more frequency than the property needs.
We do not publish flat rates for this work because a single boutique entry and a quarter mile of shopping center frontage are not the same job. Five things set the number:
The quote itself is simple. We walk the property with you, count what is actually on the ground and hand you a number that does not move. Call or text 747-202-3622 or request a fast quote online. The walkthrough is free either way.
Lifting the gum makes the concrete honest. These three finish the rest of the first impression.
