Commercial Gum Removal
Heat-assisted gum removal for sidewalks, entries, patios and other high-traffic commercial surfaces.
Surface-aware. Scope-driven.
The right process starts with the property.
Gum bonds to porous hardscape and becomes more difficult as it ages. Patriot uses treatment, heat and controlled cleaning to remove deposits while protecting the surrounding finish.
Common scope
- Storefront sidewalks and entrances
- Restaurant patios and drive-thrus
- Schools, parks and public facilities
- Recurring appearance-maintenance programs

Straight answers
Frequently asked questions.
Why does hot water help with gum?
Heat helps soften many deposits so they can be removed with less aggressive pressure.
Can gum removal be recurring?
Yes. High-traffic properties often benefit from scheduled maintenance before buildup becomes widespread.
Will removed gum leave shadows?
Older deposits can leave discoloration or expose cleaner spots. Results depend on the surface and deposit age.
