Top 5 Signs Your Driveway Needs Pressure Washing

Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your home, but over time, dirt, oil, and organic growth can turn it into an eyesore. Here are the top five signs that it’s time to schedule a professional driveway cleaning:

• Dark Stains or Oil Spots
  If you notice motor oil or transmission fluid stains, pressure washing can break down and lift stubborn petroleum-based residues.

• Green or Black Algae
  In South Florida’s humid climate, algae thrive on shaded concrete. Left untreated, it creates a slippery surface and erodes your driveway’s finish.

• Faded Appearance
  Does your driveway look dull and gray? Built-up dirt and oxidation can mask its true color. A thorough cleaning restores its original tone and brightness.

• Weeds in Cracks
  Pressure washing removes the dirt and debris that allow weeds to grow between cracks, helping prevent further damage and root intrusion.

• Slippery When Wet
  If your driveway feels slick when it rains, it’s likely coated in mildew or algae—both dangerous and unattractive. Pressure washing enhances safety by restoring traction.

Regular driveway washing (once or twice per year) not only improves curb appeal but also extends the life of your concrete or pavers. Ask us about sealing services after washing!
