How it works
How a pressure washing job runs
Good pressure washing is mostly preparation. The right pressure for the surface and a plan for the water matter more than raw power.
Cars, glass, plants and power outlets near the work area need moving, covering or working around, and people need to stay clear while the machine runs.
Check the site
Surface type, water and power access, drainage points and anything nearby that could be damaged.
Plan the run-off
Where the wash water will go is worked out before the wash starts, because it must not reach a gutter or stormwater drain.
Pre-treat where needed
A cleaner suited to the surface for mould, grime or grease, used at the label rate.
Wash at the right pressure
Nozzle, pressure and distance matched to the surface, with lower pressure for render, timber and paint.
Rinse and walk through
A final rinse and a walk-through with you. Photos are supplied when agreed.
Queensland rules
Where does the wash water go?
Not down the stormwater drain. In Queensland, wastewater from outdoor cleaning is a prescribed water contaminant.
Under section 440ZG of the Environmental Protection Act 1994, it is an offence to let a prescribed water contaminant into a roadside gutter or stormwater drain, or to leave it where it could reasonably wash in. Councils enforce this and can fine businesses.
Stormwater is not treated before it reaches local creeks, canals and the Broadwater, so this matters on the Gold Coast.
What the rules mean on a site
- Protect the drainsDrains near the work area need covering or bunding before a wash starts.
- Dirt-only waterLogan City Council's guidance: water carrying only soil and organic matter can go to a garden or grassed area.
- Oily or chemical waterHas to be collected, not washed away. If a job involves oil or cleaning chemicals, raise it at the site visit so it is planned for.

Surfaces
Pressure washing by surface
Too much pressure damages surfaces. This is how each common surface is handled and what to watch for.
| Surface | Approach | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Plain concrete | Higher pressure with even, overlapping passes | Stripes from uneven passes |
| Exposed aggregate | Moderate pressure, nozzle kept moving | Loose stones where the surface is worn |
| Pavers | Moderate pressure across the joints | Joint sand washing out, so joints may need re-sanding |
| Brick and blockwork | Lower pressure | Soft mortar joints. White salt stains often need a different treatment, see our acid washing guide |
| Render and painted walls | Low pressure with a suitable cleaner | Flaking paint and water forced behind cladding |
| Timber decks | Low pressure, along the grain | Furring and splintering of the timber |

Pressure washing FAQs
What can you pressure wash?
Driveways, garage floors, paths, patios and pool surrounds at home, plus concrete car parks, ramps, bin areas, loading docks and building walls at ground level. Render, painted walls and timber are washed at low pressure.
Do you pressure wash homes?
Yes. Driveways, garage floors, paths, patios, pool surrounds and house walls. Book a site visit and the surfaces are checked before you get a quote.
Can pressure washing water go down the drain?
No. In Queensland, wastewater from outdoor cleaning is a prescribed water contaminant and must not enter a roadside gutter or stormwater drain. Where the water goes is worked out before the job starts, and water with oil or chemicals in it has to be collected.
Will pressure washing damage my surface?
It can if the pressure is wrong for the surface. Pavers can lose joint sand, render and paint can be stripped and timber can fur. We match pressure and nozzle to the surface and test a small area first.
How often should commercial concrete be pressure washed?
Most car parks and paths are washed every 6 to 12 months. Entries, bin areas and shaded areas that grow mould or algae often need it more often.
Can you remove oil stains?
Fresh oil spots lift best. Older stains have soaked into the concrete and usually lighten rather than disappear. We will tell you what to expect before we start.
Do you need water and power on site?
We confirm water and power access at the site visit. Tell us if the site has no tap or power and we will plan around it.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes. Car parks and entries are often best washed before opening or after close. We book around your trading hours and any building rules.
Can pressure washing be added to a builders clean?
Yes. Paths, driveways and hardstand are often washed down before handover. Ask for it when you request a builders clean quote.
