Power Washing FAQs
What factors drive up the cost of power washing?
Costs can increase due to heavy staining, graffiti, mold or grease buildup, or difficult access areas like rooftops or high-rise exteriors. Specialized equipment, hot water, or detergents may also increase pricing, as can tight project timelines or permits required for water runoff.
Are there extra charges for heavy stains or graffiti removal?
How can I get an accurate quote for my property?
The best way to get a precise quote is to schedule an on-site assessment. We evaluate the size, surface types, staining, and access points. You can also submit photos and square footage online for a rough estimate.
What surfaces can be power washed on a commercial property?
We clean a wide variety of surfaces including concrete sidewalks, driveways, building exteriors (brick, vinyl, stucco), fences, parking lots, and industrial equipment. Surfaces like wood or painted finishes may require soft washing.
How often should a commercial property be power washed?
Most properties benefit from power washing once or twice a year, especially after winter grime or seasonal pollen buildup. High-traffic areas like entryways, parking lots, and restaurants may require more frequent cleaning, even quarterly.
Can power washing damage certain surfaces, like old masonry?
Yes, high pressure on delicate surfaces can cause damage. That’s why we assess each surface first and use soft washing when needed. Older brick, mortar, and painted finishes often benefit from a lower-pressure approach.
Is commercial power washing safe for the environment?
When done right, yes. We use biodegradable, eco-friendly detergents and ensure wastewater is captured and disposed of properly in accordance with EPA guidelines.
What chemicals are used, and are they biodegradable?
We use commercial-grade, biodegradable detergents specifically designed for exterior surfaces. They’re tough on stains but safe for landscaping and runoff when applied responsibly.
How is wastewater handled to avoid environmental violations?
We use water reclamation systems and containment methods to prevent runoff from entering storm drains or contaminating local water sources. We’re fully compliant with local and federal regulations.
Are there regulations I need to know about in Columbus?
Are there surfaces that should never be power washed?
Yes. Surfaces like asphalt shingles, lead paint, or old, crumbling masonry can be damaged by high-pressure washing. We always assess before cleaning and use the safest method for each material.
Who is liable if someone is injured or property is damaged?
Can power washing be done after hours to avoid disrupting business?
Do prices vary for high-rise buildings or hard-to-access areas?
Yes. Cleaning multi-story buildings, rooftops, or confined areas requires specialized lifts, safety gear, and more labor, which raises the cost. We’re fully equipped for these jobs and ensure compliance with OSHA standards.
