Posted on by Mark

The ability to extract graffiti from porous surfaces like concrete render, requires experience and the right technology.

Would you be happy if your building was left looking like the image on the left hand side?

Final Result

When you have a building that is a proud asset and worth considerable dollars – don’t trust it to just anyone.

Many buildings end up permanently scarred and disfigured because inexperienced companies are allowed to work on them.

Once a building is damaged, it often can’t be saved and restored, reducing the value of the building considerably.

In this case our client called in The Graffiti Eater team after a council worker soaked graffiti stains deep into the concrete render on their front facade.

It took some perseverance, but we got there in the end and successfully extracted the shadows.

Be careful who you allow to work on your assets!

Forklifts are notorious for being oil stain creators!

Hydraulic Forklift Oil on Bluestone Tiles

Final Result

Our client on this occasion was an indoor plant company that used a small walk behind forklift to position large pot plants for a trade show.

Unbeknown to the operator, the machine dropped oil spots and the occasional puddle along a 5o meter length of bluestone foyer tiles before he discovered the leak.

Our team at The  Stain Eaters were employed to extract the oil and restore the bluestone back to it’s original condition.

It took a couple of treatments, but the end result was perfect. Our client was very relieved as the property owner was threatening that he wanted the tiles replaced at nearly ,000.00 dollars.

If you have a challenging job that must be done right – Give us a call.

Paint Vandalism Cleanup on a Car

Posted on by Mark

Paint is often used in a destructive way to cause damage to someone else’s assets.

It’s important that you know who to call, to get the correct advice to ensure the mess is cleaned up quickly.

Paint vandalism on Car

This vehicle had 4 lts of enamel based decking stain, poured directly out of the tin over the roof and bonnet.

The paint duco, glass, plastics and rubbers were all covered, including many hidden nooks and crannies.

The restoration process utilised heated water under pressure combined with friction modifying cleaning solutions to break down the molecular structure of the stain and remove it from the various surfaces. A variety of different processes were required to achieve the final result.

If this ever happens to you, give us a call as soon as it happens.

Graffiti Used in Art

Interesting work by one artist!

Using a graffiti mural on a back board with a man standing in front painted up to blend in!

See his feet in front of the wall….

I assume this image is legal and placed in an art gallery. Here the work is appreciated for the talent involved.

This is the type of creativity real artists employ, not senseless vandalism.

It’s quite cleaver!

WOW

Here is true talent at work

See how a dull and boring car park can be transformed into a fantastic and vibrant peace of art.

And guess what ….. It’s Legal!

We take our hats off to Harold Mitchell (Executive Chairman – Aegis Media Pacific) for having the foresight to create such a great project.

It’s a shame graffiti vandals don’t focus their efforts in more constructive ways like this!

Graffiti Vandals – Media need to stop giving them what they want, RECOGNITION!

Posted on by Mark

We ummed and ahhed about blogging about this ourselves………..

But in the end decided it warranted public discussion so that the awareness of why people graffiti and their mentality can be understood.

It’s the only way we are going to combat it!

 

This  article appeared in the Herald Sun on November 16 2012 and part of the vandals reasoning for creating up to ,000.00 damage (of which will not be recovered) was to “get her alias out in the public”.

With unfortunate assistance of this article this was achieved. This same press coverage would cost a commercial company thousands of dollars as an advert.

We have attached the article below and removed mention of the vandals alias, something that maybe the Herald Sun should have also done!

The media needs to understand the fuel they add to the graffiti culture and problem.

If we are going to combat graffiti in our society, we need a unified approach.

Removal of Waterproof Membrane

Posted on by Mark

The Graffiti Eaters were recently engaged to remove waterproof membrane from the base brickwork of a home in Melbourne.

This was a delicate task that involved ensuring pedestrians were safe from any trip hazards.

As we had to use cleaning solutions and hot water under pressure, we masked up all plants in plastic to protect them during the cleaning process.

This is the detailed lengths we go to in order to protect your valuable assets.

This is an example of a building being completed to the final  stage of the landscaping, only to discover that the black  waterproof membrane was  a little too high on just a few bricks, oops!

Behind the tarred membrane was a nice thick section of render and that also had to be removed without damaging the clay bricks.  As you can see, you would not know the tar had ever been there!
