Graffiti Abatement

What This Service Involves

Our graffiti abatement crews work under a scheduled or on-call agreement to keep tagged surfaces cleared across your jurisdiction. We match removal methods to each substrate, using low-pressure chemical strippers on masonry and solvent wipes on signage to avoid damaging the underlying material. Every job is documented with before-and-after photos and GIS-referenced logs suitable for council reporting. Wastewater from removal is captured and disposed of per your NPDES municipal stormwater permit to prevent discharge into storm drains.

Benefits

Consistent citywide response times backed by a written service-level agreement; substrate-matched methods that protect painted, masonry, and metal surfaces; photo-documented work orders ready for public-records and council review; captured rinse water kept out of the stormwater system

Our Process

1) Receive and triage reports through your work-order or 311 system; 2) Dispatch a crew with the substrate-appropriate removal method; 3) Remove the graffiti and capture all rinsate for compliant disposal; 4) Close the ticket with geotagged before-and-after photos

What Affects the Cost

Number of sites and total square footage per cycle; substrate type and whether repainting is required; response-time tier specified in the contract; travel between dispersed jurisdictional sites; disposal fees for captured wash water

Best Time of Year

Abatement runs year-round, though cure times for coatings and repaint are scheduled around Western Washington's wet-season temperatures.
