Benefits of Driveway Pressure Washing

Oil, chemicals, and organic growth break down concrete over time. Regular cleaning extends driveway lifespan.

Moss, algae, and mildew make driveways slippery when wet. Pressure washing removes these hazards.

Boosts Property Value
A clean driveway significantly improves curb appeal. It’s one of the first things buyers notice.

Types of Driveway Stains We Remove

Oil & Grease Stains
Automotive fluids penetrate deep. Commercial degreasers + hot water + high pressure lift most oil stains.

Concrete Driveways vs Asphalt: What’s Different?

Concrete Driveways:

  • Can handle 3,000-4,000 PSI
  • Hot water effective for oil stains
  • Resistant to cleaning damage
  • Can be sealed after cleaning
  • More effective stain removal

Asphalt Driveways:

  • Requires lower pressure (2,000-3,000 PSI)
  • Must be gentler to avoid damage
  • Limited oil stain removal
  • Sealing more critical for protection

No, when done by professionals. Concrete can handle 3,000-4,000 PSI. Contractors use appropriate settings to clean without etching.

Can you remove all oil stains?
Most oil stains can be removed with commercial degreasers, hot water, and high pressure. Very old, deep stains may fade but not disappear completely.

How long before I can drive on the driveway?
Immediately after drying (1-2 hours). If sealing, wait 24-48 hours before vehicle traffic.

Will this remove algae and moss?
Yes, pressure washing completely removes organic growth. Treatment solution kills growth at root to prevent quick return.

Can you clean pavers and brick driveways too?
Yes, contractors also clean paver and brick driveways. Technique is adjusted for these surfaces.

What about the garage floor?
