Outdoor surfaces are constantly exposed to the elements, inevitably leading to a buildup of dirt, grime, dust, and the unsightly consequences of everyday use. Foot traffic across patios and walkways grinds in the dirt, while driveways and parking lots develop vehicle oil and grease stains.

Natural elements like mold, mildew, and algae thrive in damp environments, clinging to siding, decks, and fences, diminishing their aesthetic appeal and potentially causing structural damage over time. These accumulated contaminants can become deeply ingrained without regular maintenance, making surfaces look dull, aged, and uninviting.

The Difference Between Pressure & Power Washing

While both pressure washing and power washing use high-pressure water to clean outdoor surfaces, the key distinction lies in the temperature of the water used. This makes each method more suitable for specific cleaning tasks. Understanding this difference is crucial for achieving optimal results without damaging the clean surface.

• Pressure Washing - In this cleaning method, we use high-pressure water alone to dislodge and blast away dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other surface contaminants. The force of the water stream is adjustable, allowing for effective cleaning on various materials, from delicate siding to more robust concrete. Pressure washing is highly effective for general cleaning tasks and removing organic growth.
  
  
• Power Washing - This process increases the cleaning power by heating the water before it is expelled at high pressure. Adding heat significantly enhances the cleaning capabilities, making it particularly effective at breaking down and removing stubborn substances like grease, oil stains, heavy grime, and sticky residues. Hot water emulsifies these tough contaminants, allowing them to be rinsed away more easily and thoroughly than cold water alone.
  
  

We Help You Choose the Right Outdoor Surface Washing Solutions

Our experienced team takes a comprehensive approach to determine the best solution for your specific needs and:

• We begin by carefully assessing the type of surface to be cleaned, such as delicate vinyl siding, sturdy brick, porous concrete, or wooden decking. Different materials require varying pressure levels and potentially specialized cleaning solutions to achieve optimal results safely.
• We then evaluate the nature and severity of the soiling. For light to moderate dirt, dust, and organic growth like mildew on residential siding or patios, pressure washing with cold water is often sufficient and the gentler option. However, for heavily soiled commercial areas, stubborn grease and oil stains on driveways or parking lots, or ingrained grime on walkways, power washing with heated water provides the necessary cleaning power to break down and remove these tough contaminants effectively.
• Our knowledgeable technicians adjust the pressure settings and nozzle types of our professional-grade equipment to match each surface's specific requirements.
• We also utilize environmentally friendly cleaning solutions to enhance the cleaning process and tackle particularly challenging stains, ensuring thorough and safe clean without harming your landscaping or the surrounding environment.
