Professional concrete cleaning in Greenville & Upstate, SC area
Restore the clean, bright look of your driveway, sidewalk, patio, or pool deck with our safe, streak‑free concrete cleaning process. Concrete takes a beating — traffic, weather, algae, oil stains, and years of buildup can make it look dark, dirty, and worn. At Power Wizard Pressure Wash, we use a professional surface‑cleaning system and targeted treatments to restore your concrete safely and evenly, without streaks or damage.
Why concrete darkens, stains, and loses its color
Concrete is porous, absorbing moisture, dirt, and contaminants, leading to deep discoloration and slippery surfaces over time. In the humid Southeast, this accelerates algae growth, especially on shaded driveways and walkways. Key issues include algae and mildew thriving in humid weather; tire marks and road grime embedding into the surface; oil and automotive fluids soaking into pores; rust stains from metal objects or irrigation; dirt and organic buildup darkening the surface; and UV exposure causing uneven fading.
Why DIY pressure washing often leaves streaks or damage
While concrete looks tough, cleaning it incorrectly can cause permanent marks. Many homeowners use too much pressure or the wrong pattern, resulting in stripes, etching, or uneven results. This often leads to wand marks and “tiger stripes,” etched or scarred concrete, patchy and uneven cleaning, chemical burns from improper products, missed deep‑set stains, and slippery surfaces. Professional equipment and technique make all the difference.
