Driveway Cleaning Farmington Hills, MI

We take a strategic, meticulous approach to driveway cleaning that allows us to tackle even the most stubborn stains and dirt buildup. Here is an overview of our process:

Inspection and Planning

• The first step our technicians take when arriving at your Farmington Hills property is thoroughly inspecting the driveway. This allows us to identify the type of material (asphalt, concrete, pavers, etc.), assess areas of excessive buildup, and plan our cleaning strategy accordingly.
• We look for stains that may require extra attention, such as oil spots so we can pretreat them before power washing.
• Our team also cleans out drains and storm gutters to prepare for the washing process.
• Any items or vehicles on the driveway are identified so that we can efficiently work around them.
• The inspection also allows us to take safety precautions such as blocking off access to the driveway during cleaning.

Pretreatment

• Before power washing, we pre-treat any set-in stains or extremely dirty areas by applying eco-friendly cleaners and degreasers.
• These solutions activate on the surface to help loosen caked-on deposits of mud, tire marks, oil, grease, and more so they can be blasted away more easily.
• We use pretreatment cleaners sparingly to avoid oversaturation or runoff.

Power Washing

• The real transformation happens when we take our commercial-grade power washer to your driveway. This machine pumps out hot water at up to 3000 PSI for superior cleaning power.
• Starting from the upper area, we systematically wash sections in overlapping paths to cover every inch.
• For paved driveways, we use a 40 degree nozzle to blast away dirt and stains without damaging the surface. Concrete and asphalt can withstand the direct pressure.
• More delicate surfaces like pavers receive a wider 25 degree nozzle and lower pressure to avoid dislodging materials.
• We repeat power washing over the most stubborn spots until they are lifted fully.

Rinsing and Reveal

• After power washing, we do a thorough rinse of the entire driveway surface using plain water. This removes any leftover debris and cleaning solutions.
• Once rinsed, we can fully reveal your like-new driveway! It will be free of dirt, stains, grime, and slippery buildup.
• If there are any spots we couldn’t fully remove, we will inform you and re-clean them by hand.

Our goal is always 100% customer satisfaction with our driveway cleaning service in Farmington Hills.

Cleanup and Protection

• With the driveway freshly cleaned, we tidy up by collecting any loose debris and cleaning our equipment.
• Drain covers are removed and gutters cleared of any remaining dirt.
• Lastly, we can apply a driveway sealer to protect the clean surface from future staining and deterioration. Sealing is highly recommended on older asphalt driveways.

We leave your property in pristine condition once the driveway cleaning is complete!
