Pressure Washing A Grease Spill On Pavers

 

We recently got a call for pressure washing a grease spill on pavers.

The pictures shown here are a great example of why you should clean a grease spill right away. You can see the footprints where people walked through the grease spill and tracked it into the store.

And if you look closely, you’ll see why pressure washing pavers is a tough job to get right. You have all the spaces in between where the dirt will get blasted onto the pavers is you’re not extremely careful. Even with an experienced steady hand, you’ll still pressure wash some of the dirt onto the pavers and surrounding area.

This is one of those jobs you need to think twice about. There’s a good chance the customer won’t be happy when you’re finished unless you really take a lot of time. And that will usually cost more than most people are willing to pay for pressure washing.

Pavers are being used a lot more these days – they give a nice effect. But they’re a real pain to keep clean and they tend to settle unevenly over time. Maintenance is something to consider, especially for a commercial application. Stamped concrete may be a more cost effective choice in the long run.

Pressure washing is usually a great solution on most walking surfaces. But it can’t restore a surface to new condition if it isn’t maintained.
