Power washing is a form of intensive cleaning using high pressured water and is used for cleaning that requires a little more than just elbow grease.

Surfaces
Power washing can be used on a range of different surfaces to help clean away dirt, grime, grease and graffiti from your property. Our equipment can have the pressure adjusted to suit different surfaces and their cleaning needs to ensure a thorough clean is provided. We work on surfaces such as cement, metals and vehicles amongst other a range of other things. We understand that different surfaces have different chemical and pressure needs, which our team have a solid knowledge of which saves our clients time by having professionals working with us who really know what they are doing.
Preparation
Preparing a surface for cleaning is dependant on the surface as well as why pressure cleaning is required. For example, a different chemical is required to remove paint from concrete than is needed to remove oil from concrete. First the surfaces are generally given a quick brush down to remove any top layer of the stain, and then a coat of the relevant chemical is applied. This is then agitated into the surface to really get into it and help to break up and lift the stain. Occasionally some absorption time is required to make sure the chemical is able to properly break up the stain in preparation for removal.
Equipment
Being the professionals in the pressure washing industry in Coquitlam, we are well equipped with a range of different pressure washers to ensure that we can meet a range of different cleaning needs. By ensuring that we have this wide range of equipment available means that we are easily able to schedule our clients in for their required cleaning service within a quick time frame. The equipment we have varies in pressure and size dependant on the surface we are cleaning. For example a different sized pressure cleaner is required for the cleaning of a truck than it is for the cleaning of a residential driveway.
Process
As mentioned in the above, first a suitable chemical is applied to the surface that requires cleaning. This is then scrubbed into the surface to ensure it is penetrated as deep as possible into the stain to allow maximum efficiency of the chemical. Once then chemical has completed its function, we then adjust the PSI of our high pressure washing equipment to one that is suitable for the surface. We then use the pressure cleaner to extract both the chemical and the stain for a clean surface.
