Pressure washing

Pressure washing is one of the most effective ways to clean hard outdoor surfaces, especially when they’re covered in years of built-up dirt, moss, mildew, and grime. Using a pressurized, high-volume stream of water, we can strip away layers grimy build up from concrete, brick, stone, and other tough surfaces, restoring appearance and improving safety.

At Snohomish Pressure Washing, we use professional-grade equipment and smart techniques to deliver powerful results without damaging your property. And we know when to use pressure…and when not to. For more delicate surfaces like siding, wood, or painted trim, we offer soft washing instead.

Bigfoot-tough cleaning. Small town service.

Why use pressure washing?

When used properly, pressure washing is an efficient, deep-cleaning solution for hard surfaces that can handle the force — like concrete, brick, and stone.

Restore hard surfaces
We remove years of dirt, grime, and moss from driveways, walkways, and patios, helping them look newer and feel safer.

Prep for sealing or repairs
Pressure washing is the first step before sealing concrete, resurfacing a patio, or repairing a hardscape.

Remove stubborn stains
It’s an effective way to address oil spots, rust marks, tire tracks, and other tough stains on durable surfaces.

Risks of not pressure washing

Even the hardest surfaces wear down over time. Letting buildup linger can shorten their life, reduce curb appeal, and create unnecessary hazards, all of which are easily avoided with routine cleaning.

  • Organic growth like moss and algae create slippery, unsafe walking areas
  • Dirt and pollutants degrade concrete and stone over time
  • Buildup can mask cracks, chips, or drainage issues
  • Surfaces lose their brightness, making your whole property look unkempt

Residential services

We use pressure washing to clean driveways, walkways, patios, stone walls, and other hardscape features that need more than a rinse. Whether you’re preparing for a project or just want things looking like new again, we clean with care, avoiding damage to edges, landscaping, and nearby surfaces. Our equipment allows us to handle everything from small residential walkways to large driveways and garden walls.

Commercial services

We offer professional pressure washing for commercial and municipal clients, including storefronts, sidewalks, parking areas, and dumpster pads. Clean exterior surfaces improve safety, customer perception, and property longevity. We’re available for one-time service, scheduled maintenance, or seasonal cleanups, all with flexible hours to avoid business disruption.

Frequently asked questions

We safely pressure wash hard, durable surfaces like concrete, brick, stone, and some types of metal. These materials can handle higher PSI without risk of damage. For more delicate surfaces like siding, wood, or painted trim, we use soft washing instead.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean tough surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure and specialized cleaners to treat more delicate surfaces like siding or fences. The right method depends on the material and its condition, and we’ll always use the safest, most effective option.
Not when done properly. We assess the surface and adjust the pressure and nozzles to clean effectively without causing damage. For older or already cracked concrete, we may reduce pressure or suggest an alternative cleaning method.
We can treat oil, grease, and rust stains with targeted cleaning agents. While not all stains can be removed completely, we often significantly lighten or eliminate them — especially when caught early.
Generally, no. Wood and most types of siding are better suited for soft washing. High pressure can strip paint, dent siding, or drive water behind panels. For those materials, we use a gentler, more controlled approach.
We adjust PSI based on the surface and its condition. Concrete and stone can handle higher pressure (2,500–4,000+ PSI), while brick and pavers often require less. We never use a one-size-fits-all setting — each job is customized for safety and effectiveness.
Results typically last 6–18 months depending on the surface, surrounding environment, and exposure. For example, shaded areas with lots of moisture or trees may need more frequent cleaning than open, sunny driveways.
