Thermal Extraction Of Gum
Chemical-Free Gum Elimination for Public Assets
Discarded chewing gum quickly turns into unsightly, blackened spots that bond stubbornly to porous concrete, brick pavers, and asphalt. Scraping leaves unsightly shadows, while aggressive cold-water blasting often etches deep scars into the pavement without melting the hardened gum base.
Westcoast Jet Wash delivers chemical-free chewing gum extraction engineered for high-density pedestrian corridors. Combining high-temperature steam, commercial hot-water pressure, and specialised surface heads, we vaporise and disintegrate gum residues in seconds. Surfaces are restored to a clean, uniform presentation without damaging underlying masonry or leaving toxic residues behind.
Safe, Efficient Gum Removal with Zero Surface Damage
Thermal Steam Disintegration
High-temperature steam breaks down the synthetic polymers in chewing gum, lifting it cleanly without the need for harsh, corrosive chemicals.
Zero Surface Etching
Controlled hot-water pressure targets the gum deposits directly, preserving the integrity of exposed aggregate, decorative pavers, and concrete sealers.
Trailer-Mounted Wastewater Extraction
Integrated vacuum recovery captures dislodged residues and dirty wash water simultaneously, leaving pedestrian zones clean and rapidly dry.
Direct Owner Supervision
Mick personally manages and executes every project, bringing 30+ years of industrial discipline to maintain public safety and consistent quality.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Because we use high-temperature steam and hot water rather than excessive, blunt water pressure, the gum melts away smoothly without gouging aggregate or etching lines into the pavement.
