How do you clean up an oil spill on concrete?

Block nearby drains, absorb the liquid, apply degreaser and let it work, then wash with hot water and vacuum up the water. Do not hose it down. Pressurize Washing Systems responds to oil, diesel, hydraulic and cooking oil spills day or night at (714) 867-3418.

A spill is a slip hazard, a stain in the making and a stormwater problem if it reaches a drain. The first hour matters most. Oil that is absorbed and washed the same day comes out. Oil that sits for a week becomes a permanent shadow.

A customer called us last minute for a late-night wash. His parking spot went from stained with oil, diesel and dirt to looking brand new. Another had a dumpster truck leak oil across pavers; we cleaned it with hot water and refilled the joint sand afterwards.

Spills we handle

  • Motor oil and transmission fluid
  • Diesel and gasoline drips at fuel islands
  • Hydraulic fluid from trucks and lifts
  • Cooking oil and grease from haulers and bins
  • Paint and other non-hazardous liquids

What happens when you call

You reach a person, send a photo and get a time and a price.

  • Contain. Drains are blocked and the spill is ringed so it cannot spread.
  • Absorb. Free liquid is picked up with absorbent and bagged.
  • Degrease. The stain is treated and given time to release from the concrete.
  • Hot wash and recover. The area is washed and the water is vacuumed up, not sent to the gutter.

What we do not do

We clean up everyday petroleum and food-grade spills on pavement. Large releases, anything that has reached soil or a waterway, and regulated hazardous materials need a licensed hazmat responder, and we will tell you straight away if that is what you have.

What customers say about this service

  • Called last minute for a late-night pressure wash, and they delivered! Parking spot went from stained with oil, diesel, and dirt to looking brand new. Fast, professional, and highly recommended!

  • I needed some oil stains removed from my asphalt and concrete. Reached out to a couple of different pressure washers and George came in very competitive. He was professional, timely, and respectful. Our business required an extra level of care and safety. He had no problem accommodating. I was extremely satisfied with the stain removal that I had him pressure wash the rest of our concrete. I highly recommend him and will be using him in the future.

  • Recently had a dumpster dropped off at our home in the driveway for a remodel that we are doing in the house and upon dropping the bin off the driver leaked oil all over the driveway with his truck. After dealing with the company for 2 weeks I was told they would reimburse me for cleaning the driveway. So, I began my search for a company that could do the pressure washer service that specializes in doing pavers and would even backfill any sand that gets blown out between the pavers. After calling 3 other companies that had ridiculous pricing not to mention they were unwilling to be a one stop shop and back fill the sand I landed on PWS. After speaking to Jorge over the phone he had a fast turnaround time to be able to get to my driveway ASAP and even provided the service of replacing the sand. I was truly impressed with the professionalism that Jorge showed when arriving and going over his game plan for the oil stains. His presentation was really nice as well using some really nice equipment and using hot water instead of just hose water for the pressure washing which really seemed to get out all the grime that was embedded in the pavers. Will definitely be using Jorge again soon for future projects.

Oil Spill Clean-Up FAQs

Questions we get before every job

Not answered here? Call or text (714) 867-3418.

How quickly can you respond to an oil spill?

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

Can old oil stains be removed?

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.

What should I do before you arrive?

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.
