Professional Pressure Washing: Protect Your Property & Health

Dirt, mold, algae, and pollutants don't just look bad—they degrade surfaces, trigger allergies, and reduce property value. Professional pressure washing (jet cleaning) restores beauty while safeguarding health and structural integrity.

What Professional Pressure Washing Covers

Surface	Method	Frequency	Benefits
House exterior (brick, render, weatherboard)	Soft wash (low pressure + biodegradable detergent)	Annually	Removes algae, cobwebs, pollution; prevents coating failure
Roof (tile, metal, shingle)	Soft wash only—never high pressure	2–3 years	Eliminates moss/lichen; extends roof life; improves insulation
Driveways & paths (concrete, pavers, asphalt)	High pressure + surface cleaner	Annually	Restores color; removes oil, tire marks, weeds in joints
Decks & patios (timber, composite, stone)	Medium pressure + wood-safe cleaner	Annually	Preps for resealing; removes graying, slippery biofilm
Fences & screens	Soft/medium pressure	Annually	Brightens; preps for stain/paint
Commercial buildings, signage, fleet	Custom program	Quarterly/monthly	Brand image; safety; preventive maintenance

Why DIY Fails

• Consumer machines (100–150 bar) lack volume for rinsing—leave detergent residue.
• Wrong nozzle/tip etches concrete, splinters wood, strips render, dents metal.
• No soft-wash capability—roofs and delicate surfaces get damaged.
• Safety risk: ladder + high-pressure lance = serious injury potential.
• No waste capture—contaminants enter stormwater (often illegal).

Health & Property Value Benefits

• Allergen reduction: Removes pollen, mold spores, bird droppings from air-intake zones.
• Slip prevention: Eliminates algae biofilm on wet paths, pool surrounds.
• Curb appeal: Clean exterior adds 3–5% perceived value (NAR data).
• Preventive maintenance: Early coating failure detection saves repaint costs.
• Compliance: Strata, commercial lease, and insurance often require documented cleaning.

Choosing a Contractor

1. Verify: public liability insurance, trained staff, environmental compliance (waste capture).
2. Ask for: before/after portfolio, references, written quote with scope & method.
3. Confirm: soft-wash equipment for roofs/render, surface cleaners for flatwork.
4. Check: Google reviews, ABN/ACN, years in business.
