Read on to find out about our driveway cleaning process.
Preparation
In the first step, we remove the plants, toys, and debris that are either placed or left there by using a flat surface cleaner. This is merely a preliminary stage of the cleaning process.
Biocide
Once the driveway is cleared, we will apply a layer of biocide which will kill all the algae, weed, lichen, and other plant growth. Our biocide chemical has a formula that not only eradicates the existing plant life but also prevents its growth in the future.
Cleaning
Once the biocide is applied, we wait approximately 20-30 minutes for it to settle completely. Once the waiting time is over, we use our state-of-the-art power washing equipment on the edges of the driveway first to make sure the borders are cleaned and any stain left is removed.
Rinsing
Once the perimeter of the driveway has been cleared, our team rinses the entire biocide-covered driveway. We make sure all the treatments and chemicals are cleaned up while taking all the dirt, dust, grime, and all other pollutants with them.
Manual Cleaning
There is a high likelihood that pressure washing may have dislodged some loose materials or dirt. For this, we do a rigorous manual cleaning of the whole driveway for any such debris.
Miscellaneous Cleaning
Once pressure washing has been done on the driveway, it will take a day to dry out completely. While it dries, we will inspect the surroundings for any splashes or stains on other surfaces like windows, walls, or fences. If there are any stains, we will ensure those are removed too.
Re-Sanding
The final step is re-sanding the driveway. The driveway joints often need re-sanding with various materials like gravel or sand dried in a kiln, depending on the type of driveway you have. Re-sanding isn’t just for aesthetic purposes as it also prevents the growth of any organic plant life. Moreover, it strengthens the driveway and increases its longevity.
What to Avoid
There are several things you need to look out for when cleaning driveways.
Only use the right chemicals and treatments. There are many chemicals in the market claiming to clean your surfaces thoroughly, but you need to exercise caution in case you end up with the wrong one. A professional driveway cleaning service like Under Pressure & Sealing Services have all the right chemicals and equipment needed.
When sanding the driveway, you need to ensure it has properly dried out. As mentioned before, drying usually takes a day during which our team focuses on other tasks. If the driveway is re-sanded while wet, the sand will form lumps and will refuse to fit correctly into the joints.
Pressure washing the driveway before and after applying treatments is crucial as it removes all the inorganic dirt and pollutants,
