Driveway Pressure Cleaning Lake Worth, FL

I was contacted by this customer who had a common request; clean off the driveway. The driveway had, over time, accumulated a rust colored deposit mixed with black mold and aggregate.

The black appearing stain that is common in the Southeast is actually a bacteria that grows and thrives in the warm, moist environment of Florida. You can read more about that bacteria in this article about dark stains on roofs in Florida.

Rust colored stains are often times a result of two possible sources: lawn fertilizer or batteries. If the source is from a battery leak, the stain that you see is a burn mark resulting from the battery acid reacting with the concrete, brick or paver. If lawn fertilizer is the offending culprit, then the source of stain is a result from deposition of iron on the concrete. Both different types of stains can be cleaned with appropriate solution washes.

The Right Chemical Solution Is The Solution

With my chemical wash of the driveway, followed by pressure washing, the stain came out of the concrete. It is essential to use the correct chemical to wash because some abrasive chemicals can destroy the surface of the driveway. If the surface layer of concrete is damaged, then the driveway becomes more susceptible to further staining.

Following a chemical, pressure and final rinse of the driveway surface, I applied a preventative chemical to the surface that prevents bacterial growth. This additional step is another cost that I take upon myself, but I feel the benefits outweigh the losses in profit. It is my expectation that if I succeed in proving to the customer that I go above and beyond what is expectd, then they will be pleased enough to return for future services or refer me to their families and friends.
