Here are some things considered when factoring the cost on concrete power washing services.
1. How Large Is The Area To Be Cleaned?
Knowing the exact size to be cleaned allows us to give you a fair estimate. Another reason for this is if you happen to have other services provided, we are capable of offering multiple service discounts.
2. Current Condition Of The Concrete
How long since the concrete had been power washed? What type of dirt, grime, and oil needs to be removed? Are there cracks that should be filled prior to or after cleaning the concrete? Does it have oil and or rust stains?
3. Once The Surface Is Cleaned, Does It Need To Be Re-Sealed?
Ultimately this is up to you. We do recommend that you have your concrete sealed if you would like to extend the life of your patio, driveway, walkways and etc. To learn more visit our residential concrete sealing services page.
Can you damage concrete by power washing it? Typically what we see in the industry is irreversible damage to the cream, etching or even cutting from improper high-pressure techniques. This is caused by inexperience from individuals who aren’t trained on how to properly clean concrete along with the different types of concretes and how they are to be cleaned properly.
The common concept is that pressure is needed to power wash exterior surfaces clean. However, this is far from the truth. Most if not all consumer-grade pressure washers are too much already coupled by incorrect use of nozzles and you may have a regretful disaster.
We utilize a low-pressure soft wash system designed to properly clean your concrete surfaces without any type of damage. This is based on concrete cleaning best practices recommended by the concrete industry.
No, power washing alone doesn’t remove sealer from concrete. However, negligent use of high-pressure washing techniques can as well as scar the concrete permanently.
Sealing concrete has many benefits that outweigh the cost of repair or possible replacement. In Michigan, the biggest issue with unsealed concrete is due to the freezing temperatures. Concrete being porous absorbs water and many other contaminants. When our temperatures drop the water expands in the concrete. The water expanding will cause premature cracks over time. Which leads to potential tripping hazards and or costly repairs or even replacement in extreme cases.
