Long Beach, CA Commercial Power Washing for Port, Retail and Fuel Sites

Trucks leaving the port climb the 710 all day and all night, and the soot they leave behind settles on every canopy, dock and parking deck from the Westside to North Long Beach. Add salt air off San Pedro Bay and concrete here ages faster than it does twenty miles inland. Pressurize Washing Systems cleans commercial property across the city, mostly overnight, with hot water, degreasers and recovery equipment that keeps wash water out of the harbor. Downtown garages, Belmont Shore storefronts, industrial yards near the terminals and gas stations along Pacific Coast Highway are all the kind of property we work on. If you want to see what your concrete can look like before spending anything, we will come out and clean a test patch at no charge.

Commercial properties we clean in Long Beach

Port warehouses, truck yards and container lots sit a few minutes from hotels, a convention district, college and hospital campuses, neighborhood retail streets and a long run of auto and fuel businesses. Industrial sites tend to need dock, yard and fleet washing with heavy degreasing. Downtown properties need parking structure cleaning, sidewalks and commercial windows. Retail streets ask for gum removal, storefront washing and graffiti removal. Bird netting is a common request for canopies near the water.

What Long Beach does to concrete and buildings

The marine layer sits over this city most mornings from late spring into summer, so shaded concrete stays damp and grows algae and mildew along north walls and planters. Salt carried in off the water dulls metal canopies, railings and storefront glass. The port, the rail lines and the 710 put diesel soot in the air every day, and it lands as a gray film that plain cold water will not lift. Gulls and pigeons work the waterfront and the parking structures. Dry months let oil build up in drive lanes until the first winter rain spreads it around.

Where the wash water goes

Storm drains here empty into the Los Angeles River, the San Gabriel River, Alamitos Bay or the harbor, depending on which side of town you are on. We block inlets and recover wash water on site so it never reaches any of them.
