Maximising the Lifespan of Your Carparks: Best Practices for Cleaning and Maintenance in Sydney

7 April 2023

Have you ever wondered how to keep your parking lot or multi-storey carpark in good condition? As a building manager, facilities manager, building owner, or business owner, it’s an important question to ask. And the answer is even more important. Thankfully though, there are clear steps that you can take to maximise the lifespan of your Sydney carpark. 

Let’s take a closer look at these actions below.

Remove spills swiftly

The average carpark will be subject to all kinds of spills throughout its lifespan. Vehicles will often drop grease and oil onto concrete floors, and other chemicals can also appear. On top of that, customers and residents are prone to dropping all kinds of other pollutants on your carpark floor surfaces. 

Many of these compounds can eat away at the surface of your concrete. This is a problem whether or not your carpark floor is sealed. Certain contaminants can seep into the cracks of your concrete, making them much worse. Over time, these cracks can become larger, deeper, and start to cause crumbling.

It’s really important to remove any spills and stains quickly, with expert Sydney carpark cleaning services. Getting rid of oil, grease, chemicals and anything else right away is important. This is one step that will certainly maximise the lifespan of your structure.

If you experience flooding, call the experts

Flooding can cause havoc in an underground carpark and can be very tough to deal with. Getting rid of the water is one thing, but cleaning up after and assessing any damage is another. At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we can help de-flood your carpark and then comprehensively clean it. That will require removal of any debris, and a thorough sweep and scrub operation.

Failing to de-flood your carpark quickly can cause catastrophic damage. This kind of damage can put your carpark out of business for some time, while costly repairs take place. If your carpark is a business in itself, that means you’ll be losing money hand over fist. Make sure you take action if your facility is flooded, and ensure longevity for years to come.

Regular sweeping and scrubbing

There’s nothing better for keeping your carpark in perfect condition than regular machine sweeping and scrubbing. We’re the experts in sweeping and scrubbing carparks in Sydney. We also work with a wide variety of other locations, such as warehouses, entertainment centers, stadiums, and common areas.

Our expertise in sweeping and scrubbing carparks means you’re always in excellent hands. We know exactly what it takes to ensure longevity in a carpark. We’ll help you remove all of those harmful contaminants that can cause big problems in the long run. What’s more, we’ll do it safely and sustainably.

Security is important

Sometimes, the damage is done to your carpark intentionally. Vandalism is quite common in carparks around the city, because they are often unattended at night. Many carparks, both broad lots and high-rise facilities, lack proper cameras or security systems. That means they are easy targets for graffiti artists and vandals who want to cause damage.

CCTV and security systems will help to deter vandalism in your Sydney carpark. These additions will also give your customers and tenants peace of mind, knowing that their vehicles are safe in your facility. In the long term, vandalism will mean costly repairs. Whether it’s broken windows and lights, damaged booms, or cracked concrete, you must ensure this is avoided at all costs. That action will go a long way toward maximising the lifespan of your carpark.
