Mechanic shop floor cleaning in Toronto means getting oil, coolant and hydraulic fluid out of the concrete without sending it down the floor drain. We degrease bay by bay with 200F hot water and degreaser, recover every litre of oily water with our hydrovac, and keep the rest of the shop working while we do it.

## Why Do Shop Floors Get So Slippery?

Every oil change, coolant flush and hydraulic repair leaves a little behind. Absorbent and sweeping pick up the surface puddle, but a thin film soaks into the concrete and builds up over months. Around lifts and work benches, floors turn dark and slick, especially when wet. In winter, salt and slush from customer vehicles add grit and white residue at bay doors.

Slippery floors are a safety issue for technicians. Hosing them into a floor drain overloads the oil-water separator and risks sending contaminants further down the line.

## What Is Included in Mechanic Shop Floor Cleaning?

-   **Bay floors** around lifts, benches and fluid stations
-   **Oil, coolant and hydraulic fluid** stains degreased with hot water
-   **Bay door entrances and aprons** cleared of salt and grit
-   **Floor drain protection** and hydrovac recovery
-   **Customer parking and walkways** on request

## How Do Shop Cleaning Programs Work?

### Contract and pricing table

| Option | Scope | Pricing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Single bay | One heavily soiled bay | Written quote |
| Full shop | All bays and aprons | Per bay rate |
| Monthly or quarterly | Recurring bay degreasing | Fixed per-visit rate, 12 months |

### COI delivery in 24 hours

Dealerships, fleet operators and landlords receive a COI with $2M liability and WSIB clearance within one business day.

### Hydrovac wastewater containment (Toronto Municipal Code 681)

Oily wash water must not go to the storm system and should not overload your separator. We cover floor drains, contain each bay and vacuum the water into our hydrovac tank for proper disposal.

## When Should a Shop Book Floor Cleaning?

-   **Monthly or quarterly**, depending on volume
-   **After winter**, to clear salt and slush residue at bay doors
-   **Before an insurance, landlord or manufacturer inspection**
-   **After a large fluid spill**, through our

## Common Shop Floor Problems We Solve

### Slick film around lifts

Oil and hydraulic fluid build up around lift posts and under vehicles. Hot-water degreasing removes the film and makes the area safer to walk and work in.

### Coolant and transmission fluid stains

Coloured fluid stains spread across bays during flushes and repairs. They respond well to degreaser and heat.

### Absorbent residue

Clay absorbent picks up spills but leaves a gritty, greasy layer when it is swept. Washing removes the residue that brooms leave behind.

### Salt and slush at bay doors

In winter, vehicles bring in salt, sand and slush that dry into a white crust at each door. Hot water clears it and protects the floor.

### Dark, unsealed concrete

Old unsealed floors soak up years of oil. Degreasing will brighten them considerably. Sealing or coating after cleaning makes future cleaning easier, and we can recommend timing.

## Bay-by-Bay Scheduling

We work one or two bays at a time, usually in the evening or on a Sunday. Each bay is cleared, drains are covered, degreaser is applied and allowed to work, then 200F water lifts the oil while the hydrovac recovers it. The bay dries and reopens before we move on, so the rest of the shop keeps running and technicians can return to their stations quickly.

## Protecting Your Oil-Water Separator

Many shops route floor drains to an oil-water separator. A full washdown can overwhelm it and push oil downstream. By recovering water at the surface, we keep the separator working as designed. If it is due for service, our truck can vacuum it during the same visit, and our sister brand, Hydrovac Toronto, handles larger separator programs.

## Mop and Scrubber vs Hot-Water Degreasing

Mops and auto scrubbers are great for daily upkeep, but they mostly move a thin oil film around and leave it in the pores of the concrete. Over months, the floor darkens and gets slick. A periodic hot-water degrease pulls oil out of the surface and resets the floor, so daily cleaning works properly again. Most shops pair daily scrubbing with monthly or quarterly professional degreasing.

Real jobs, real prices, written quote first.

Luca V.

Trinity Bellwoods

$465

> "Running a busy kitchen on Queen West, the back pad and our patio get greasy fast and we were getting fruit flies by July. Their monthly plan covers the patio, rear door and dumpster pad with hot water, done before we open. They recover the dirty water instead of hosing it into the lane drain, which our landlord appreciated. The smell is gone and nobody slips at the back door anymore. Price stays the same every month, and they always send photos so I know it was done properly. When we had a grease spill at the back door on a Friday night, they picked up the phone and had someone out before Saturday brunch."

Harbourfront

> "We needed one heavily salted underground level washed before our engineer's membrane review. The crew checked the coating first, kept the pressure low near seams, and vacuumed everything up so the sumps were cleaner after than before. They worked overnight so residents only had to move cars from one level. Communication was clear from the quote to the final photo report, and the COI came within a day. It is rare to find a contractor who understands both the compliance side and the actual cleaning. We will use them for the full garage next spring and have already asked for a quote on the catch basins."

King West

> "I manage a mid-rise condo in King West and needed the courtyard, entrance plaza and garage ramp done after salt season. The COI arrived the next morning with our corporation named, which never happens with other vendors. They sent resident notice wording we could post in the elevators, worked a Saturday, and used a vacuum system so no wash water went into the drains. The photo report with timestamps went straight into our board package. We have since moved to their annual plan with the price locked for the year. Two other managers in our portfolio have since signed on after seeing the reports."

> "Large tag across the side wall of our office building. They matched the chemistry to old brick, kept the runoff contained, and sent before and after photos we used to close out the city notice. Quick, careful and clearly experienced with this kind of wall. They also suggested a protective coating so the next tag comes off faster and cheaper."

## Mechanic Shop FAQs

### How often should a mechanic shop floor be degreased?

Busy repair and fleet shops usually book monthly or quarterly. Shops doing a lot of fluid changes or hydraulic work may need monthly service to keep floors safe.

### Can you clean while the shop is open?

Yes. We work bay by bay, often in the evening or on Sunday, so the rest of the shop keeps running.

### Where does the oily water go?

Floor drains are covered and the hydrovac vacuums the water into our tank. Nothing goes into floor drains or the oil-water separator during cleaning, and nothing reaches the storm system.

### Can old oil stains be removed completely?

Hot water and degreaser remove most staining. Oil that has soaked deep into old unsealed concrete may leave a lighter shadow. We set expectations during the quote.

### Do you clean outside aprons and bay doors too?

Yes. Aprons, bay door entrances and customer parking are often added to the same visit.

### How is mechanic shop cleaning priced?

Per bay or per visit, in writing. Recurring service locks the rate for 12 months.

### Can you also service our oil-water separator?

Our hydrovac truck can vacuum oil-water separators and sumps. Larger separator programs are handled with our sister brand Hydrovac Toronto.

### Do you provide a COI?

Yes, within one business day, with $2M liability and WSIB clearance.
