Severn coverage area

Storefront gum and grime in Severn. Three ways to lose it.

Severn is half residential, half light-industrial — residential driveways along the Severn crossing side streets, and the Telegraph Road employment parks with their long paved aprons. The mix means a single site visit often pairs one method (steam for the gum spots on a retail walkway) with another (pressure-wash for the apron behind the same building).

Local corridor: Severn crossing retail, Telegraph Road employment parks, and the BWI periphery.

The three methods in Severn

Different jobs suit different methods.

Severn gets the same three-method lineup as the rest of the route. Steam + scrape is the workhorse for most gum jobs on poured concrete. Freeze + scrape is the premium option for decorative pavers and historic substrates. Pressure washing covers sidewalks, driveways, and the long paved aprons behind the storefronts.

01 · STEAM

Steam + scrape gum removal

Hot steam softens each gum blob on the Severn entry pads, then a compact rig lifts it in one piece. No solvents, no chemical migration to the stormwater system, and a quiet rig that fits a storefront morning.

  • Severn poured-concrete entry pads and storefront walkways
  • Food-court edges, transit-platform pads, market squares
  • Any paved surface with high foot traffic and visible buildup

02 · FREEZE

Freeze + scrape gum removal

The premium option for the decorative pavers and historic substrates that show up around Severn. A cryogenic spray hardens each blob into a brittle pellet, then the rig lifts it off without etching the joint lines.

  • Pavers, tile grout, painted surfaces
  • Historic substrates and decorative concrete
  • Substrates flagged as sensitive on the on-site walk

03 · PW

Pressure washing

Hot or cold rinse matched to the paved surface — concrete, brick, tile, pavers, or asphalt — common across the Severn retail aprons and shared entries. Right pressure, right temperature, right capture so the site stays open while we work.

  • Severn sidewalks, storefront walkways, and shared entries
  • Driveways, parking aprons, paved flatwork
  • Catch-basin-friendly capture when runoff is a concern

What we see in Severn

Local surfaces in the Severn book.

Severn is where the three-method offering shows up most cleanly — the residential side asks for paver-friendly methods, the employment-park side asks for fast pressure-wash turnarounds, and the schedule is short enough to do both on the same visit.
