When homeowners need their driveway cleaned, they expect the work to enhance the property’s look and protect the surface from future damage. At Under Pressure Cleaning & Sealing Services, we use to best methods to ensure the work continues to look great over the long term.
How We Provide Safe and Effective Driveway Cleaning Services
Safety is a top priority for our techs. To protect residents and property, we follow the best practices established by the trade associations. Our equipment is state-of-the-art and safeguards our professionals while they work. Additionally, our technicians carry full liability insurance coverage.
First, we determine the best cleaning method based on the driveway’s material. Brick pavers and concrete driveways are to most common types which need to be cleaned regularly. There are several types of concrete, including Coated (also known as sealer and sealant coated)
Sealer and sealant-coated driveways require a different cleaning method than other materials. Damage is likely if an abrasive method is used on these surfaces. Our techs will check the material and identify the equipment needed to clean your driveway.
The most common method we use is a special device called a surface cleaner. A surface cleaner attaches to the power washer and produces a clean, even finish on the driveway surface. This tool provides steady pressure to avoid damage and “stripes” left behind by uncontrolled pressure washers.
If your driveway is made from brick pavers, we re-sand them instead of power washing them. Power-washing brick pavers can leave them loose due to the loss of the stabilizing sand. Re-sanding ensures the grit is gone and they are still firmly in place.
Why Do I Need to Clean My Driveway?
Cleaning your driveway regularly is important for several reasons. It helps to maintain the aesthetics of your property, reduce wear and tear on the pavement, and potentially reduce the risk of slip-and-fall accidents.
It can also help to keep weeds and other plants from growing in the cracks. Additionally, a clean driveway makes it easier to spot any oil or chemical spills that may have occurred. Regular cleaning can also prevent the buildup of dirt, debris, and other materials that could otherwise damage the driveway.
Why Shouldn’t I Power Wash the Driveway Myself?
While it may seem easy, power washing your driveway can damage the surface of the concrete if not done correctly. Other issues can also arise if an untrained person attempts this project.
A professional will know the proper equipment to use for your specific material. They will also have the knowledge needed to perform the task safely. For example, our techs have training and experience protecting your driveway from damage.
Many driveway materials can experience surface abrasion and striping when pressed with too much pressure. Unfortunately, the pressure washer wand in many homes cannot control the force being delivered.
Our professional crew knows how to use an adjustable pressure washer that ensures consistent, gentle pressure for better results.
