Malibu, CA Commercial Pressure Washing Along PCH

Malibu has a small commercial footprint for a city that runs so far along the coast. Nearly all of it is on or just off Pacific Coast Highway: the shopping centers around Cross Creek Road and the Civic Center, a few restaurant and retail clusters on the eastern end, the village center at Point Dume and the market at Trancas. What these places share is salt spray, blown sand and, some years, ash and mud from the canyons. Pressurize Washing Systems makes the drive from Chino for commercial work here, usually as a scheduled overnight visit. We use hot water and surface cleaners, and we recover wash water, which matters when the nearest storm drain outlet is a creek mouth or the beach itself.

Commercial properties we clean in Malibu

Small shopping centers, restaurants, a few hotels and motels, fuel stations, offices and beach-oriented retail. Most properties need sidewalks, courtyards and parking areas washed, with gentle handling of pavers, wood and stone. Restaurants need patios and back-of-house grease areas cleaned. Salt-hazed glass makes commercial window cleaning a frequent add-on, and after storms or fires we can do wash downs to clear mud and ash from lots and walkways.

What Malibu does to concrete and buildings

Salt is the constant. Onshore wind carries spray across the highway and it dries as a film on glass, metal, signs and canopies, and it corrodes anything left unrinsed. Sand blows into lots and gets ground into walkways. Fog keeps shaded surfaces damp, so algae grows on north-facing walls and steps. The Santa Monica Mountains rise right behind the commercial strip, and after a fire year the first rains send ash and silt down the canyons and across parking lots. The highway itself adds brake dust and tire rubber to every driveway apron along it.

Where the wash water goes

Runoff here goes to Malibu Creek and its lagoon or straight onto the beach and into the Pacific. We block inlets and recover wash water so none of it leaves the property.
