Pressure washing is one of the most popular exterior cleaning services in and around Atlanta. We often get a few common questions from our customers regarding pressure washing so we will answer them here for you.
We have power washed many driveways, patios, sidewalks, and retaining walls.
Pressure washing is safe for concrete as long as it is performed with caution. You should never use more than 2,000 PSI when pressure washing concrete. It is also recommended to not pressure wash concrete that is under 3 years old. This is because the concrete is still in the curing process and if pressure washed with too much pressure it can cause permanent damage to the surface of the concrete.
When we pressure wash concrete it is standard to soft wash the surface either before, after or both. The soft wash part of our cleaning system keeps the surface cleaner for much longer than just pressure washing. Soft washing kills the algae and mold which is what causes the black stains.
After soft washing we use our surface cleaner which is a professional piece of equipment usd for pressure washing the surface much faster and more effective the standard pressure washing.
The average price to pressure wash a concrete surface in Atlanta is roughly $.20 per square foot. This price can range based on the overall size of the project and how dirty the surface is.
