Gum Removal FAQ

Why is chewing gum so difficult to remove from sidewalks?

Chewing gum hardens and bonds tightly to porous surfaces like concrete and pavers, making it resistant to standard cleaning methods. It requires a combination of high heat (steam or hot water) and specialized solutions to break down its adhesive properties before it can be effectively blasted away.

What surfaces can you safely remove chewing gum from?

We safely remove chewing gum from all common high-traffic commercial and residential surfaces, including concrete sidewalks, brick pavers, asphalt, stone entryways, and tile. Our process is gentle on the surface yet highly effective on the gum.

Will your gum removal process leave behind sticky residue?

No. Our professional gum removal process is designed to completely break down and eliminate the gum and its residue. We ensure the area is thoroughly rinsed, leaving behind a completely clean and residue-free surface.

How does professional gum removal benefit my business or property?

Gum removal significantly improves your property’s aesthetics and professionalism, especially in storefront and entryway areas. It eliminates unsightly, sticky messes, creating a cleaner, more welcoming environment and preventing the gum from trapping additional dirt and debris.

Is your gum removal technique more effective than scraping or using cold spray?

Yes. While scraping or cold spray can sometimes remove surface gum, they often leave behind residue or can damage the pavement. Our specialized hot water and steam method fully liquefies the gum’s adhesive properties, allowing for complete and safe removal without damaging the surface.
