Pole Base Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Light pole bases collect moss, dirt, vegetation, and de-icing residue that trap moisture and accelerate corrosion of anchor bolts and base plates. Our crews clear vegetation, wash accumulated grime, and inspect base hardware for early signs of rust or damage. Keeping bases clean protects structural connections and improves the look of streets, lots, and plazas. Findings are documented so agencies can address corrosion before it becomes a safety concern.
