Importance of Power Washing Your Driveway

​Grime. Oil stains. Dirt. 

Your driveway is filthy.

And over time, it just builds up. Your shoes become dirty, tracking into your house. Now your house is dirty, too. What's worse, your driveway is now a neighborhood eyesore.
​
It's time to get to power washing your driveway — because driveway maintenance is as important as any other household upkeep. 

​Why Is Power Washing Important?

When it comes to washing the driveway, a regular ol' garden hose doesn't cut it. Many garden hoses generate 200 pounds per square inch (PSI) of water pressure — like entering a boxing ring with couch pillows on your hand. 

Power washing, on the other hand, delivers 8 to 10 times that. That kind of water pressure is enough to dislodge the most tenacious grime when cleaning the driveway. 

This is the difference between moving a stain around a little and eliminating it completely.  

Why Is Driveway Maintenance Important?

A clean driveway isn't just a cosmetic issue — it can become a critical home issue as well.

To start out with, cracks in the driveway form from the erosion of the driveway, including the accumulation of dirt that wears away at the concrete. When your driveway cracks, moisture can more easily get into the foundation of your home, creating big trouble. 
A crack-free driveway also helps your home look more presentable, bringing up its resale potential. For businesses, it becomes a store-front issue — a clean, crack-free driveway is more attractive to new customers.

This is why power washing isn't just investing in cleaning the driveway — it's investing in your home or business itself.

Should I Be Power Washing the Driveway Myself?

While a trip to Home Depot may seem like an appealing Sunday afternoon, a power washer — like anything — is a tool.

This means it needs to be properly used, or it can cause injury. This includes some pretty gnarly ones you don't want to think much about. 

That's why there are professional power washing companies out there to help you with your household upkeep. Whether it's your exterior, your garage, or your driveway maintenance, professional power washing helps beautify the exterior of your home and gets your driveway looking pristine.
