Yes, pressure washing is safe for most surfaces as long of the pressure is adjusted appropriately. Professionals will adjust the pressure appropriate to the surface being washed. We also use cleaning solutions that break down dirt and grime on the surface being washed allowing us to use a lower pressure and eliminating the possibility of damaging the surface being washing.

We first apply a cleaning solution that helps loosen dirt and grime. For driveways, walkways, and patios we use a surface cleaning pressure washing machine with the pressure adjusted appropriately for the material being washed. This allows for an even and thorough clean. For other surfaces like decks and fences we may also use a cleaning solution followed by using a hand held pressure washer. After the area is washed it is rinsed off with clean water.
