Professional Graffiti Removal....

.....The Way to Go
 Matt Thomas, BK Enterprises, Inc.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, graffiti is the most common type of property vandalism (35%) in the United States.  Graffiti in a community can be classified in one of four categories: tagging, gang, hate and generic.  The majority of graffiti in a community tends to fall under the "tagging" category at around 78% nationally.

Quick and effective eradication of graffiti is the key to long term positive results.  Recidivism rates increase expotentially each day graffiti is left unattended. This is commonly referred to as the "broken window" theory.  The longer graffiti is left alone, the greater the changes it will be joined by more graffiti in the future.

A tagger's ultimate goal is to gain exposure with their peers, and by not removing the graffiti quickly, a property owner is actually promoting the behavior.  One method of eradication is to paint over the graffiti, however, studies have shown that these "paint-outs" actually increase the odds of graffiti recurrence.  In essence, when graffiti is painted over, a property owner is providing a fresh canvas for the tagger to display his or her work.

The most effective form of graffiti eradication is removal by a professional.

Professional pressure washing companies have the experience necessary to remove graffiti effectively with outstanding results.  The three main characteristics of a successful graffiti removal are speed, completeness and no damage to the underlying surface.  Professional power washers have access to the products and equipment that allow them to produce great removal results time after time with techniques that limit the effect on the surrounding environment.

Property owners that attempt to remove graffiti with inferior products, improper equipment, and/or lack of experience can often cause more harm than good. By hiring a professional pressure washing contractor for graffiti removal projects, a property owner can ensure that the vandalism will be removed safely and effectively while avoiding the frustration and expense of damaging the tagged surfaces further.
