Gum Removal
in Madison, WI

Clear Gum From Your
Madison Walkways and Entrances

Gum has a way of ending up exactly where your customers look first. On busy commercial walkways, at building entrances, and across the concrete around a storefront, dropped gum flattens underfoot and hardens right into the surface. It sets into the pores of the concrete over time, and once a Madison warm season concentrates the foot traffic, a broom or a garden hose won’t touch it. What’s left is a spotted, black-flecked entryway that greets people at the very first step.

We remove that gum from commercial concrete and hard flatwork, applying a detergent to break its grip and then lifting it off with high-pressure specialty nozzles, adding a hot-water unit where it helps. Here at Jet Wash Exterior Cleaning, we treat that work as part of keeping your building’s concrete clean and consistent, not a patch job.

Reach our crew directly and we’ll scope it with you. Call (608) 577-9681.

The Surfaces We Remove Gum From
in Madison

Gum removal is for the hard exterior surfaces around a commercial building, the concrete walkways and flatwork that take the daily foot traffic.

Concrete

Concrete is the primary surface: sidewalks, entryway slabs, and the building surrounds where gum gets ground in the most. We apply a detergent to loosen it, then work high-pressure specialty nozzles to lift it off, bringing in a hot-water unit where a spot needs extra help breaking the grip. It’s the standard walkway and building-surround surface on Madison commercial properties, so it’s the material we handle most.

Hard Flatwork Surfaces

Other hard, flat exterior surfaces around the building get the same treatment where gum has stuck and hardened, from entry aprons to the paved areas covered under parking lot and garage cleaning. We fold this into cleaning the surrounding concrete, so the whole area finishes even instead of leaving one clean patch beside a dirty one.

Why Madison Businesses Choose Us
for Gum Removal

The Right Tools to Lift Gum, Not Smear It

Gum is stubborn, and a standard wash just pushes it around and grinds it in. We loosen it first with a detergent, then use high-pressure specialty nozzles and a hot-water unit to actually lift it off the concrete rather than smear it across the surface.

Runoff Kept Out of the Streets

Pressure washing moves a lot of water, and on a commercial lot that water has to go somewhere. We plan the runoff before we start and keep it off your pavement and out of the street, so clearing your walkways never turns into a drainage headache for you.

Gum Cleared as Part of a Full Concrete Clean

Most gum jobs come out best folded into a broader building washing that includes the concrete around your building. You get your walkways, entrances, and flatwork handled together in one scheduled visit, which keeps the disruption to your operation short and the result uniform.

A Direct Line to Our Owner

You reach our owner directly to scope a gum-and-concrete job. A property manager gets straight answers and a bid without chasing a rep or sitting on hold with a call center.

How Our
Madison Gum Removal Works

1

The Bid and Free Quote

The job starts with a quick conversation about the surface, how much gum there is, and the area around it. Commercial gum removal is bid, and the quote reflects the surface area and how the work folds into cleaning the surrounding concrete. Get in touch and we’ll walk through it with you.

2

Scheduling Around Your Hours

We set arrival around your operation, including after-hours where that keeps your foot traffic clear. Before we start, we tell you what to expect and how the area will be managed while the crew works.

3

Loosening the Gum

We apply a detergent to the gum to break its hold on the concrete. On the tougher spots, the hot-water unit comes in to help soften it before anything gets lifted.

4

Lifting It Off With Specialty Nozzles

High-pressure specialty nozzles lift the loosened gum off the surface. We work the walkway and flatwork as one connected area, so the finished concrete looks uniform from edge to edge rather than clean in patches.

5

Controlling the Runoff

Water and cleaner go into the grass, never the street, and oil-absorbent booms capture runoff wherever a surface is greasy. The area is left clean and clear for your customers to walk.

6

Walkthrough and Invoice

We walk the finished area with you and make sure it matches what you expected before anything is invoiced. Our crew puts in the full effort to leave you satisfied, and we’d rather hear it on-site than after we’ve gone.

Jerry! You should see my house!!! It doesn't even look the same, it's like it's brand new! What a fantastic job by your lovely son, Jack – what a pleasure to meet him, he's super nice, as I'm sure you know lol He even offered to take care of an emergent ant situation on my walkway afterwards; like who even DOES that?!?The gutters are pristine, the house is amazingly clean- I could not be more pleased, and my husband is sure to be over the moon. So glad I called your business, best decision of 2026 by far! Thank you so very much!
Response from the owner:Thank you Jenny. I am so pleased Jack was able to make your day with your house wash. We hope you and others from Sun Prarie reach out to us for pressure washing and gutter cleaning. Jerry/Jack

We hired Jerry to power wash the exterior of our house. We were very happy with how it turned out! We previously hired a different company and the results didn't even compare to how nice our house turned out after Jet Wash came out. Would hire them again for our house washing needs.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Mackenzie! We're really glad the house exterior turned out so well, and that the difference was noticeable. We'd love to come back next time you need it done.

Jack and Mauricio showed up early and even in 90+ heat they did a deep clean of my entire house. One neighbor came over to ask Jack take a look at his house. Jack said your house isn’t that bad doesn’t need a washing at this time, talk about an honest business person. 2 other neighbors said my house looked brand new. I sure got lucky using Jet Wash. I will use them again.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review. Jack is my youngest son and I am very proud of him and how he treats people. We were glad you trusted us with your house and hope you save our number to share with friends and neighbors. Jerry

My house was covered with mildew and I wasn’t sure it could get truly clean. We also have a challenging roof line for one area. Jet Clean came over, got everything looking terrific! I couldn’t believe it! Not only was the work excellent, the customer service was exceptional. Can’t say enough about the honesty and knowledge. It’s refreshing to interact with a company that makes you feel customer service is important.

Your kind words about our honesty and customer service genuinely mean a lot to us. We would love to work with you again anytime! Thanks again. Jerry

Gum Removal FAQs

Gum removal is almost always done as part of cleaning the concrete around your building rather than as a standalone visit, because that’s how it comes out consistent and priced right. Since it’s bundled and depends on the surface and how much gum there is, we scope the job and quote it instead of posting a flat price, so reach our owner directly for a quote. If you’ve got a small, specific gum problem, tell us and we’ll advise the most sensible way to handle it.

It usually runs around four hours, since it’s typically handled as part of a larger concrete-cleaning job around the building instead of a quick single-spot visit. The exact time depends on the surface area and how much gum has built up. We give you a clear window when we schedule, so the work fits around your business hours.
