Commercial power washing questions, answered straight

We clean gas stations and other commercial properties across Ventura County, Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County and San Bernardino County, and we have completed station work in San Diego as well.

Gas stations are the biggest part of what we do. With over five years of experience, a 5.0 Google rating across more than 100 reviews, and repeat work for Chevron, 76 and Sinclair operators, we know how to deep clean a station without shutting it down.

Pumps and dispensers, fueling pads, sidewalks, parking stalls, canopy and columns, trash areas and the store exterior. Windows, sandblasting, graffiti removal and bird netting can be added to the same visit.

Hot water and degreaser remove most oil staining, and fresh stains usually come out completely. Old stains that have soaked deep into the concrete will be much lighter but may leave a shadow. Sandblasting can take off what washing leaves behind.

Sound, well-bonded striping is fine. We lower the pressure over paint and thermoplastic. Striping that is already flaking may lose loose paint, which is one reason many owners schedule washing right before a restripe.

Yes. Parking structures have their own page and their own method: top down, one level at a time, with the wash water recovered. See our parking garage cleaning service.

In California, wash water that carries pollutants such as oil, detergent, paint or debris is generally prohibited from entering storm drains under local stormwater ordinances and state water quality rules. Fines fall on the property owner as well as the contractor, which is why we recover the water.

It adds equipment and time, so yes, somewhat. It is far cheaper than a citation, and on most of the commercial sites we clean it is simply part of the job.

It is filtered and either reused during the job or taken off site and disposed of in line with local requirements, typically to the sanitary sewer with approval or to a licensed facility.

Usually within 24 hours of your call, and often the same night. Send a photo and the address for the fastest quote.

We match the method to the surface. Unpainted block and concrete clean up well. On painted walls, removing the tag can also lift some of the paint beneath it, and we will tell you before we start if repainting that area is the better option.

Yes. Paint and marker on glass, metal and most sign faces is removed by hand with the correct remover. Etched glass cannot be washed out and needs glass repair.

Pressure washing cleans the surface with water and heat. Sandblasting uses abrasive media to remove a thin layer of the surface itself, which takes off stains, paint and rust that water cannot.

Done correctly it leaves a clean, slightly textured surface. We test a small area first and adjust the media and pressure to the concrete.

Yes. Blasting is one of the cleanest ways to remove old lines and curb paint before a new layout is painted.

Call (714) 867-3418. We give you an arrival time on the phone and treat active spills as the priority job.

They can be greatly improved with degreaser and hot water, and sandblasting can remove what is left. Fresh spills clean up far better, which is why we tell customers to call right away.

Keep people and cars off it, and if it is safe, put absorbent or cat litter on the liquid and block any nearby drain. Do not hose it down; that spreads the oil and sends it to the storm drain.
