Pressure Washing Facelift For A Medical Center
Sloan’s Lake Medical Center recently decided to give their building a pressure washing facelift.
They had us pressure wash their main entrance areas and the sidewalks on each side of the building to remove stains, dirt and gum.
We even did pressure washing on the parking area right next to one of the entrances to clean up all the grime that had built up over the winter.
While we were doing general pressure washing on the entrance areas, we also did some graffiti removal near the front doors.
They also had us remove some efflorescence from their brick walls.
Pressure washing efflorescence can be tricky and time consuming because of the strong materials needed.
In this particular situation, we discovered some of the white stain on the brick was efflorescence and some of it was calcium buildup from their water sprinklers. Calcium, when it’s allowed to thicken for years, can take a long time to clean – and sometimes won’t come off completely.
We also pressure washed a large rust stain from a concrete loading area.
Because the rust stain was so dark and our method for removing it was so effective, the visual results were dramatic.
The facility engineer for the building was very surprised and happy to see that we got all the rust pressure washed off the concrete pad.
Precautions have to be taken – especially around a medical facility – to make sure any fumes or mist don’t negatively affect any nearby surface or get into the ventilation. Using strong cleaning materials anywhere can be hazardous if not used the right way.
All the cleaning we did at this facility required waste water recovery to keep anything from reaching the storm drains.
The waste water must be collected and disposed of properly. This usually requires filtration and the proper permits.
The regulations for waste water recovery and disposal vary between cities and wastewater districts in the Denver metro area and throughout the state. And the regulations for these local areas are often more restrictive than those of the State of Colorado.
If your building needs a facelift, be sure you hire a pressure washing company who will make sure the job is done right – and done safely.
