Importance of Graffiti Removal Service – If you own a home, public building or other structure and it has been vandalized with graffiti, you understandably want it removed immediately, especially if the content is graphic or vulgar in nature. Leaving it can lead to embarrassment, as well as loss of business and reputation. Graffiti can be especially troublesome when it appears on schools, daycares, churches, and more.

As the owner of a facility, business, office park or shopping center, it’s your responsibility to keep the surfaces free from graffiti and other signs of vandalism. When you promptly remove graffiti or other malicious damage as soon as it shows up, you’re ensuring an easier cleanup job and you’re reducing the chance that the vandals will do it again.

When this happens, it’s important to call a graffiti removal service right away.

Reasons for Prompt Graffiti Removal

If vandals have disrespected your business, take action as soon as possible, or you could be at risk for:

  • Other forms of vandalism that could become progressively more dangerous

  • Long-term damage that gets harder to repair
  • Lack of employee productivity
  • Going out of business

Solutions

Graffiti that has been etched onto a surface with scratches will typically require finish repair, but often it can be removed by using hot water pressure washing equipment along with professional-grade graffiti removers. It’s important to let a professional handle this process. Here at Clearview, we can remove the graffiti in most cases, but can’t always remove the damage that has been caused by hasty property owners attempting to use a high-pressure wash on their own.

Every graffiti removal job is different: some are easy, some present more challenges. Some are just about impossible without taking the proper steps for protection of the finish. The process usually consists of chemical graffiti removers, high pressure, high heat and abrasion.

The determining factors for graffiti removal jobs include:

  • Temperature
  • Type of graffiti, i.e., spray paint, permanent markers, stain, acid etching
  • Type of surface that has been tagged
  • Time

It’s critical to balance these four items when it comes to graffiti removal so additional damage does not occur. As soon as you notice graffiti defacement, contact a graffiti removal company ASAP, as the longer the graffiti is left to sit on the finish, the more it penetrates into the surface and bonds with it.

The deeper the penetration, the harder it is to remove the graffiti. The more sensitive the surface, the faster the graffiti will set in. Materials that absorb graffiti the fastest include brick, stone, and wood, while more resilient materials include glass and vehicles.
