High Rise Window Cleaning

Calgary high-rise window cleaning simply needs to happen regularly.

Why?

Pollution from vehicles, smoke and dust build up
That build up becomes acidic and will permanently damage the glass

High Rise Window Cleaning With Surgical Precision

There are many methods of high-rise window cleaning.

We use rope access.

Here’s why:

  • Faster than a swing stage by days
  • We can get better and more gentle access than:
    • Swing stages
    • Lifts
  • Less risk of damage to the building
  • Lower risk of injury to:
    • Our technicians
    • The public

Safe High Rise Window Cleaning

High-rise window cleaning is a high-risk operation and the consequences are major.  We maintain a safety program that identifies risks so we can avoid or mitigate them.

Every XtremeAxis technician is an IRATA-certified rope access technician.  This is over and above what Alberta Occupational Health and Safety requires.

Our technicians are an amazing team who literally put their lives in each other’s hands for our clients. We want to make sure they have the knowledge and critical thinking ability to navigate your building safely.

We’ve Used Swing Stages, And Evolved To Rope Access

There are times where swing stages are the right choice, but those situations are becoming less and less.

Rope access has many advantages such as:

Speed

Just to set up a swing stage properly, it can take a full day. And then another day to take everything apart.

If we have good access to water, the roof and anchors, we can often start cleaning windows within 1 hour of arrival.

Wind

The wind in Calgary can get fierce.  And leaving a swing stage out overnight is a news-making incident waiting to happen.

With XtremeAxis Inspections & Restorations, there are no steel cables whipping the glass on a windy day above technicians and sidewalks.  We use nylon rope.

With XtremeAxis, there is not a stage that weighs as much as a car slamming against the building in a wind gust.

Training and Equipment

Even in Calgary, there are news articles of swing stages stuck on the side of buildings.

Sometimes the technicians are fine and, the rescue is simply due to the technicians not having the training and equipment they needed.

In the article linked, another swing stage was used to attempt a rescue but failed.

All XtremeAxis technicians are not only trained in rope access, but also a vertical rescue.

Cross Trained Technicians

We started in Window Cleaning but expanded into construction.

This is a major advantage to you because beside clean windows:

  • Your window cleaners can spot, document and report things like:
    • Failed caulking
    • Damaged trim
    • Failing brickwork
    • Broken glass
    • Bird Holes

Our goal is to become your one-stop, go-to, building maintenance provider.

Here are some services we offer.

We will hire and train totally new people, but we currently only have technicians with years of experience each.

Our technicians have been on hundreds of buildings in Calgary.  We know what to expect.  We know what we need to accomplish the job.  If we can’t complete it, we won’t start it.
