Concrete Driveway Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Poured concrete is porous, so Northwest moisture and grime work their way in and leave driveways looking permanently dingy. Regular garden-hose rinsing barely touches the algae film and dirt lodged in the surface pores. We combine detergents with even surface-cleaning pressure to draw that buildup out and brighten the slab. Clean concrete not only looks better but is far less prone to the slick coating that develops in shaded areas.

Benefits

Draws ingrained dirt out of porous concrete pores; Removes the shaded-area algae film that causes slipperiness; Produces an even, streak-free brightened surface; Prepares the slab for optional sealing

Our Process

1) Clear the surface and spot-treat stains and growth; 2) Apply a cleaning solution and let it dwell; 3) Run a surface cleaner across the slab in overlapping rows; 4) Rinse the perimeter, joints, and any runoff paths

What Affects the Cost

Size and age of the concrete slab; How deeply grime has penetrated the pores; Amount of algae and mildew present; Any specialty stains requiring extra work; Accessibility around the driveway

Best Time of Year

Clean concrete driveways in dry weather so the surface can dry evenly before sealing or reuse.
