Richmond and Madison County sit on the southern edge of our service area and present some unique cleaning challenges. The red clay soil in the Richmond area is some of the worst in Central Kentucky for concrete staining. Driveways, sidewalks, pool decks, and garage floors end up with deep orange discoloration that homeowners assume is permanent. It is not. Our hot water pressure washing equipment and dedicated rust and clay treatments remove it completely. The neighborhoods around Eastern Kentucky University and the residential areas off the Eastern Bypass see heavy foot traffic and student housing.
Madison County shares the same iron-rich clay soil as Clark County to the north, and the effects on concrete surfaces are identical. The subdivisions along Goggins Lane, Boggs Lane, and the developments in the Duncannon and Silvercreek areas have driveways and sidewalks that turn orange after every significant rain. Our iron oxide treatment process uses a combination of heated water and specialized acid-based solutions that dissolve the stain at the molecular level. We do not just push the stain around. We eliminate it. Homeowners who have tried everything else are consistently surprised at how completely we restore their concrete.
The EKU campus area creates a specific market for exterior cleaning. Rental property owners and managers with houses and apartments along Lancaster Avenue, Summit Street, and the blocks surrounding campus need annual or semi-annual cleanings to keep their properties in rentable condition. Student housing takes abuse, and the exteriors are no exception. We offer property management packages that include house washing, concrete cleaning, and gutter cleanouts timed to the academic calendar so the properties are ready for new tenants each fall.
In the established neighborhoods of Richmond along West Main Street, Irvine Street, and the streets near Richmond Cemetery, the homes are older and the trees are tall. The same shade and moisture problems that affect every Central Kentucky city are amplified in Richmond by the slightly lower elevation and the proximity to creeks and drainage channels that keep the ground saturated longer after rain. House washing and roof cleaning are the top requested services in those neighborhoods.
The commercial corridor along the Eastern Bypass and the shopping areas near exit 90 off I-75 include restaurants, retail stores, and service businesses that benefit from regular exterior cleaning. Drive-through lanes, sidewalks, dumpster pads, and building facades all look better and last longer when they are professionally maintained. We offer monthly, quarterly, and annual commercial cleaning contracts for Richmond businesses.
