How To Pressure Wash Concrete?

Best uses for a pressure washer!

A pressure cleaner is the machine that is used for pressure washing. While it may appear to be a niche business, almost everyone is a prospective customer for pressure washing.

Consider what a pressure washer can do: with its high-pressure water spray, it can effectively remove dirt, dust, sludge, filth, stains, salt, mould, and even chewing gum from large areas.

This makes an electric pressure washer perfect for cleaning:

• Exterior facades of buildings, both residential and commercial
• Sidewalks, stairways, walkways, patios and driveways
• Public spaces like stadiums, open air plazas and parking garages
• Vehicles of all types, including cars, busses, trucks and boats

Using a pressure washer to give a building a facelift at a fair cost is one of the most efficient ways to do it. It's also one of the simplest ways to keep homes clean on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Even private property owners might benefit from a pressure washing every now and then to freshen up their surroundings and give them a new look (which is, of course, also excellent for maintaining property value).

How To Pressure Wash Concrete?

If done properly, pressure washing concrete can make a patio, driveway or walkway look as good as new in just a day’s time.
If you have decided you’d like to power wash your surfaces yourself, you’ll need to either purchase, rent or borrow a pressure washer. For many owners who only power wash once a year, renting a pressure washer makes more sense than finding the space to store a power washer the rest of the year, plus avoiding the hassle of needing to perform any maintenance or make repairs.

You’ll probably want to set aside the better part of an afternoon or morning to get the job done, depending on the size of the surface you’d like to work on. Power washing can be very dirty work, so wear shoes that you don’t mind getting ruined and pants to protect your legs from any rocks or loose materials that your pressure washer might send flying. Keep in mind that you may start power washing in one area and decide you need to pressure wash every surface on your property. Yes, it can be that addicting!

If you are using a pressure washer for the first time, or if you never got around to it, read through the instructions first. If you’re feeling any bit of hesitation, or if you realize you just don’t have the time or interest in taking this on yourself, call in a professional like Pinnacle. Someone who does power washing on a daily basis knows exactly how to clean your surfaces without doing any damage.
