High Pressure Cleaning of Buildings: HSG Fights Grime!

A dirty building, or the area that surrounds it, is a building that may be visually unappealing. Cleaning a building using a high-pressure technique, and sometimes with cleaning agents, can remove dirt on walls and ledges, frames and mullions. It also gets rid of spider webs and bird droppings. Pressure washing your building can rejuvenate the building and many times prevents repainting.

Most concrete, stucco, or brick buildings should be cleaned at least once a year and parking structure floors once per year. Some buildings, like HSG’s client The Broad Museum’s “veil” are pressure cleaned twice a year. “They want their building to ‘sparkle,’” says Manny Delgado, an HSG field supervisor.  Manny has 26 years with HSG.

HSG uses different methods depending on the conditions of the surfaces. Some projects may require only a simple low rinse (with water that includes an additive to help release dirt embedded in pores). Other projects require a hot water application that can include a proprietary chemical mix. This second method may be required if the building has not been washed in a long time. Special cleaning agents are used when white concrete surfaces need to be “whitened.” All chemicals used by HSG are environmentally safe and we comply with all Zero Water Discharge Laws. When the situation calls for it, we can clarify or recycle discharged water. HSG also has a Hazardous Water Disposal Permit issued by the City of Los Angeles.

When HSG fights grime, we help improve your building’s appearance and promote “Pride of Ownership.”
