Your Trusted Central Virginia Pressure Washing Experts!

Like any other part of your property, it gets dirty.

However, it doesn't attract quite the same kind of dirt as other parts of your property, which is why it's less understood. Property surfaces like sidewalks and decks accumulate spills and dirt tracked in by shoes. People don't usually walk on roofs! Instead, they tend to attract invasive growths that can thrive on their undisturbed surfaces and consistent sunlight and rain exposure. If left unchecked, these growths, like mosses for example, can get between and beneath shingles, pushing them apart and causing damage.

Absolutely.

At Warthan's Power Washing, we pride ourselves on our ability to strategize and thoroughly remove even the most intensive and longstanding stains! We've had clients approach us with driveway stains that had been sitting neglected for years and had been nearly dismissed as simply a new feature of their property! When we approach such difficult stains, we use a combination of high-pressure washing (on driveway and sidewalk stains) and detergent mixes designed to penetrate deep and release adhesive bonds.

This strategy always works; it's just a matter of persistence. Don't hesitate to contact us no matter how ingrained or old your stains are!

Sidewalks are a major attractor of all types of dirt and grime! Though the most common safety hazards aren't what your shoes leave behind. Instead, it's the slow-growing and creeping pests that sneak up on you over time:

• Mold & algae
• Slippery grime
• Widening cracks

Mold and algae generally grow with time, encouraged by the dirt, soil, sun, and moisture left behind by weather and adjacent grass. Some of these growths can be harmful to children who may be playing with chalk or crawling around near your house and end up with it all over their hands.

Slippery grime is a more immediate concern. This can be categorized under mold and algae as well, which, after a heavy rainstorm, can create very slippery conditions that are hard to notice. Even in dry weather, grease and other contaminants can be invisible to the naked eye and cause anyone to slip.

Sidewalk cracks can be lifted and widened by underlying mosses or other organic growths. These tiny rifts can rise slowly and even the tiniest ridges, a few centimeters taller than surrounding cement, can throw off skateboarders or roller-skaters.

All of these growths and contaminants can be easily washed and removed by a simple pressure washing service, preventing potential injuries and increasing the lifespan of your sidewalks.
