Do You Really Need Professional Driveway Washing?

The great debate continues - is professional pressure washing for driveways really necessary? The common misconception is that rain does enough to rinse off the surface. Some homeowners erroneously believe the driveway is a functional part of the home and the appearance is insignificant.

As professionals in the power washing industry, it would be easy to assume that we're a bit biased. However, we're also local homeowners, and you can bet that driveway washing is one of those tasks we prioritize at home. There's more to power washing your driveway than what meets the eye - although curb appeal matters too!

Reasons For Driveway Washing

Every feature of your property is part of your home, even those you don't give much thought to. More than likely, if you have an eyesore like trash cans or a utility box, you find a way to conceal it, so it doesn't detract from the aesthetics of your yard. Why would you ignore caring for your driveway or sidewalks?

Don't let your dirty driveway become the focal point of your home's exterior. There's not much point in paying for professional landscaping if you're filthy driveway is going to steal the spotlight. However, keep in mind there are other benefits of keeping a clean driveway:

• Avoid creating slippery trip hazards for foot traffic
• Reduce the frequency and severity of repair needs
• Impede weed growth and related crack development
• Remove antifreeze that attracts and poisons animals
• Eradicate spots that could become permanent stains
• Lower the risk of tracking dirt and bacteria from the outside to the inside of your home

Once you realize all the reasons you should be cleaning your driveway, it's hard to believe you haven't already been doing it religiously. Now, to discuss why pressure washing should be done by professionals and not a DIY job.

There are plenty of tasks around the home you and your family can turn into do-it-yourself projects; power washing isn't one of them. Even though the local hardware store will convince you that you can clean your driveway by renting pressure washing equipment, it's not advisable.

For one thing, exterior cleaning can result in personal injury, and that's never worth the risk. Another concern is that you could cause property damage - also not worth the gamble. Finally, you're probably not going to be as satisfied with the outcome of the cleaning job if you try to do your own power washing.
