What is pressure washing?
Pressure washing, or power washing, is the use of high-pressure water
spray. Specially designed engines and pumps work together to put out
water pressure that is 100 times more powerful that your normal water
hose. We use this high pressure to clean mold, gum, and old dirt
stains from concrete and it makes old, dirty wood look new again.
There are 3 types of pressure washing services:
- Soap and water
- Enzyme soap
- Chemicals
What are the major benefits of pressure washing?
Pressure washing is a powerful cleaning technique that can clean up
dirt, grime, grease, and more from just about any surface. The process
works by forcing water and detergent through a pressurized hose at
high pressure. The high pressure water loosens the dirt and debris
that has accumulated on the surface and then the detergent helps to
break it down and remove it.
The benefits of pressure washing include:
- Removes dirt, grime, grease, and other substances from surfaces
- Cleans mold growths
- Helps extend the life of materials such as brick or stone
What is the cost of a pressure wash?
The cost of a pressure wash will vary depending on the type of company

additional services.

foot ($0.10-$1), companies who charge for time ($60-$125/hr), or

The cost also differs based on the size of your home. A 400 square
foot apartment would be cheaper than a 3200 square foot mansion.
Finally, if you have any additional services requested in addition to
the pressure washing itself, then that can increase or decrease your
final price depending on what they are.

How often should I pressure wash my property?
It depends on the type of surface you have. If it is a brick, stone,

have a vinyl or soft surface then pressure washing should happen more
often, at a minimum of every 2 years.
We provide helpful information as to what factors should be considered
when determining how often to pressure wash your property. Such as
information about the different surfaces and their ideal frequency of
pressure washing.
What is the difference between a power washer and a pressure washer?
A power washer is a handheld device that is operated by a person. It
has to be connected to the water supply through a hose which has to be
attached via an adapter. A pressure washer, on the other hand, can be
automated to use water from a tank or reservoir.
The pressure generated by the pressure washer is usually higher than
that generated by power washers. And they are also much more efficient
in cleaning surfaces because of their ability to apply high-pressure
streams of water onto surfaces without any operator input.
