Power Washing
Can pressure washing damage your concrete or ruin your driveway?
The short answer is yes. Pressure washers pack a serious punch. Even standard consumer models available for rent or purchase at local home-improvement stores can easily gouge, etch, or degrade surfaces if used incorrectly.
When concrete is poured, the materials seperate and settle. A tool called a “bull float” is used to push down the aggregate (large pieces of rock), which pushes the concrete paste to the top of the mixture, where it then dries and forms a “cream coat”. Think of the concrete as a cake, and the cream coat as the frosting. The cream coat is what gives concrete it’s beautiful, uniform, and finished look. This coat is extremely easy to damage with improper technique, and once it is damaged or removed, there is no way to get it back!
