Why hire a patio pressure washing service?

After years of exposure to the elements and wear and tear from foot traffic, your concrete patio can start looking dull and faded. Pressure washing is a simple, cost-effective way to restore the brightness and longevity of your patio.

Does My Patio Need Pressure Washing?
As with any cleaning project, the first thing to consider is whether pressure washing is actually necessary. Over time, concrete patios accumulate dirt, mold, mildew, and oils from things like grease stains. These contaminants can lead to damage if left untreated for too long.​

If your patio shows any of the following signs, pressure washing could help:
  • Dull, faded concrete: Over time, the color of concrete surfaces like your patio will start to fade as contaminants and chemicals from the environment become embedded in the material. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water spray to blast out these contaminants, lifting away years of dirt and grime to reveal the original, brighter concrete.

  • Built-up dirt and grime: Dirt, debris, and contaminants accumulate on your patio over the years from things like rain, lawn clippings, mulch, leaves, and pollen. Pressure washing uses powerful spray nozzles to blast away this surface-level dirt as well as organic matter that can damage the concrete if left untreated for too long.
​
  • Mold or mildew growth: Moisture trapped beneath accumulated dirt and debris can cause mold and mildew colonies on untreated concrete surfaces. Pressure washing helps eradicate mold and mildew by loosening and washing away this surface contamination and moisture trapped in cracks and crevices.
  • Grease or oil stains: ​Over time, things like cooking oils, grease spills, animal waste, and other deposits can leave stubborn marks and stains on a patio. Pressure washing helps lift and dissolve these contaminants, facilitating their removal with the highly pressurized rinse phase.
​
  • Cracking, flaking, or pitting of the concrete surface: For severely damaged patios, pressure washing can help remove loose concrete particles and chalky residue from cracking and spalling. This prepares the surface for patching compounds or sealers to restore an even, protected surface.​
How Long Does It Take To Pressure Wash A Patio?
The time it takes to pressure wash a patio depends on the size, but for most average-sized patios, expect 1 to 3 hours. Larger patios over 1,000 square feet could take up to 6 hours.


You'll spend time:
  • Setting up the pressure washer and attachments
  • Soaking and pre-treating any stuck-on debris or stains
  • Applying the pressure spray in multiple passes over the entire surface
  • Rinsing away all of the loosened dirt and residue.


What Aftercare Do You Do After Pressure Washing Your Patio?
​After pressure washing, performing some aftercare is important to protect and preserve your newly cleaned patio. This includes:

• Allowing the patio to dry completely, which could take 1 to 2 days
• Applying a patio sealing treatment to help prevent future stains and contaminants from adhering as easily. This offers the best long-term protection.
• Re-caulking any joints or gaps to help prevent water from getting trapped.
