Clean concrete and storefronts make a Birmingham business look cared for. TruShine provides recurring and one-time commercial pressure washing across the Birmingham area.
Birmingham's hilly terrain means rain runs across parking lots and sidewalks quickly, carrying dirt and debris onto entries and leaving stain lines on concrete. Restaurants and retail centers throughout Jefferson County also contend with grease at back doors and dumpster pads, plus the pollen and humidity common across the Southeast.
Heavy pollen season coats every flat surface outside. Washing once it passes keeps entries and patios from looking dingy into summer. Wet weather keeps north-facing walls and shaded concrete damp, and organic growth follows. It looks bad and can be slippery underfoot.
Nearby communities such as Hoover, Homewood, and Mountain Brook are part of the same route, which helps when your sites are spread across the Birmingham area.
Commercial properties in Birmingham tend to need the same core areas cleaned. We match the method to each one.
Mildew and algae removal from shaded surfaces
Outdoor patios and dining areas
Wash water contained and recovered on site
Storefronts, entries, and building facades
Kitchen floors and rubber floor mats degreased
Sidewalks and entry walks cleared of gum and grime
A team member reviews each surface with you and identifies grease, mildew, gum, and problem spots.
We recommend a one-time or recurring plan, and you approve it before work begins.
We clean each surface with the right method and keep runoff contained.
Customers rarely mention a clean sidewalk, but they notice a dirty one. Stained concrete, gum spots, and grimy entries make even a well-run business look tired. Washing restores that first impression and removes slip hazards at the same time.
Back-of-house concrete takes more abuse than any other surface on a restaurant property. We treat grease-soaked areas with a degreaser and let it work before washing, which lifts more grime and uses less pressure than blasting alone.
Some Birmingham properties need a one-time cleanup to remove years of buildup, and then a lighter recurring plan to hold it. Others only need a seasonal wash after pollen season or before a busy stretch. We will tell you which makes sense.
A good pressure washing job uses the right combination of detergent, water temperature, dwell time, and pressure for each surface. That approach cleans more thoroughly and is gentler on materials than simply turning up the pressure.
Storm drains are meant for rainwater. When grease and soap from a dumpster pad or drive-thru get washed into them, that water typically reaches local waterways without treatment, and local stormwater rules generally treat it as an illicit discharge. Our process keeps wash water contained and recovered.
We contain and recover wash water so grease and detergent are not sent into the storm drain, consistent with how local stormwater rules generally treat that runoff.
Grease, food waste, and spills collect on back-door concrete, dumpster pads, and drive-thrus. Over time they create odors, attract pests, and become slippery. Regular washing keeps those areas under control.
We visit your Birmingham property, review each surface, discuss your hours, and give you a written scope and schedule.
It depends on the size of the property and which surfaces are included. We give you an expected time window when we set the schedule.
Tell us which surfaces need attention and we will set up a time to look at them.
Tell us about your space and we will follow up to set up a walkthrough. No obligation.
