The material and its condition determine a suitable washing approach. Existing coatings, adjacent finishes and wash-water collection need consideration before the work starts.

Scope and preparation

Define the surfaces and the cleaning result

Identify the areas to be washed, approximate size and material where known. Show dirt, organic growth, gum or other deposits in photographs. Include cracks, loose finishes or earlier repairs that could affect treatment.

Discuss the proposed method and whether a test area is appropriate. Pressure, products and preparation need to suit the surface. Agree the expected finish and any treatment limitations for the actual material.

List graffiti, tire marks or gum treatment separately where targeted work is needed. For an underground parking floor, see parkade cleaning and include its access requirements.

Plan the work

Manage access, protection and runoff

Show water access, drains, doors, electrical fixtures, landscaping and adjacent property. Explain which pedestrian or vehicle routes can close and how the work area can be separated.

Agree handling of wash water, debris and residues before washing. The City of Vancouver’s storm-drain protection guidance explains why soap and contaminants must be kept out of catch basins. The proposed work still needs site-specific collection and disposal arrangements.

Before you enquire

Questions about the service

What affects a commercial pressure-washing quote?

Area, surface, deposits, height, access and protection requirements affect the work. Wash-water collection and disposal also need to be included in the review.

Can every surface be pressure-washed the same way?

No. Material, condition, coatings and the deposit affect suitability. The method and any testing need to be reviewed for the actual surface.

Will washing remove permanent stains?

Some marks may remain or need separate treatment. Provide close photographs and discuss the expected finish and limitations before work is agreed.

What should be discussed about runoff?

Identify drains and neighbouring areas. The scope should establish how water and residues will be controlled, collected and disposed of for the proposed work.
