Paint Prep – Painting can benefit from pressure washing as it removes old paint, especially those annoying chips that peal from the surface.

Driveway & Parking Lot Cleaning – Hot water pressure washing is even more effective, particularly against oily stains or drips where cars park in the street or driveway. Anything with an oil base will succumb to high temperature and pressure washing. The addition of detergents cut the most stubborn stains, grime and dirty deposits. The same principle as a self-service car wash, which is pressurized water with a detergent to remove accumulated road grime.

It prevents the build up of mold and mildew, and accumulated debris tends to hold moisture creating a potential for degeneration of the roof covering.
