Pressure washing in Austin, where pressure is the right tool
Concrete takes pressure. Roofs and siding do not. Our pressure washing services in Austin cover the hard surfaces outside the walls of the house — driveways, walkways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, porches, steps, decks and fences — each at the pressure that surface can survive.
Driveways, walkways and pool surrounds
Central Texas concrete collects a particular mix: tire rubber and oil near the garage, algae and mildew where the sprinklers overshoot, and a general gray film that arrives so gradually most people stop seeing it.
A rotary surface cleaner does flat concrete evenly. That matters more than raw power — a wand alone leaves the striping you start seeing on driveway after driveway once you know to look for it, where someone cleaned in overlapping arcs and stopped.
Patios, porches and steps
Limestone, flagstone and stamped concrete all behave differently from a plain slab, and stamped concrete in particular has a sealer that too much pressure will destroy. These get read before they get cleaned.
Steps and thresholds are where slip risk actually lives, since that is where algae films sit and where a wet shoe meets a change in level.
Decks and fences
Wood is not concrete. Pressure that is right for a slab will raise the grain on a cedar fence and leave it furry, and it will carve visible lines into a soft board. Wood gets low pressure and more patience.
Untreated cedar fencing is common around Austin and it grays from UV as well as from mildew. A wash takes off the mildew. The gray is sun-damaged wood at the surface: pressure will not lift it, and turning it back takes a wood cleaner and a brightener, which is a different step from a wash.
The line is the wall, not the pressure. A fence has air behind it and a house does not, so siding, stucco and stone go on the house washing page instead.
Pressure washing in Austin: questions people ask
Can you get oil stains out of the driveway?
Sometimes, and it depends on how long the oil has been sitting and how porous the concrete is. Fresh stains usually lift. Old ones that have soaked deep into the slab often lighten rather than disappear, and we would rather tell you that before the job than after.
Do you use my water?
Say when you call and we will confirm it for your property. Either way a pressure washer moves only a few gallons a minute, which is less than an open garden hose — it works by pressure rather than by flooding the surface.
Will it damage my fence?
Not at the pressure wood should be cleaned at. It absolutely can at concrete pressure, which is why the two are not the same job with the same settings.
