Commercial Pressure Washing for Norfolk Homes
Brick is everywhere in Norfolk's older districts, from Ghent storefronts along Colley Avenue to the century-old buildings downtown, and it does not respond well to high pressure. Coastal humidity feeds mildew on brick faces, entry walks and shaded concrete, and blasting it can damage old mortar and leave the surface rough enough to grow back faster. Our approach for brick is soft washing: a cleaning solution that breaks down mildew and organic growth, enough time for it to work, then a low-pressure rinse. Flat concrete is different and gets a rotary surface cleaner for an even finish.
Tidal flooding and heavy rain in parts of downtown, Ghent and the Hague area leave a layer of silt and debris on sidewalks, entry walks and parking areas once the water drops. Spring pollen coats awnings, ledges and parked cars in yellow. Behind restaurants near the waterfront and around Granby Street, dumpster pads build up grease and food waste that draws pests in humid weather. We scrape and degrease pads before washing, pretreat oil stains and gum, and keep wash water away from storm drains as far as the site allows. A spring wash after pollen season clears much of that buildup.
Downtown properties may need to work around building management, sidewalk use and parking for a crew, while office parks on Military Highway and near Wards Corner usually have more room to stage equipment. We schedule early, late or on days you are closed, protect doors, windows, signs and plantings and leave walkways rinsed before opening. As a locally owned and operated company, we look at your site in person, note the surfaces and stains, and suggest a recurring plan, such as regular dumpster pad washing and less frequent building fronts, that fits your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pressure washing safe for the old brick on our Ghent building?
High pressure can damage old brick and mortar, so we usually soft wash it instead, using a cleaning solution and a gentle rinse. Before any work, we look at the mortar and test a small area. If the brick is loose, spalling or needs repointing, we point that out, since washing will not fix it and could make it worse.
Can you clean up silt and debris after tidal flooding near our storefront?
After the water drops, we can scrape and wash silt and debris off sidewalks, entry walks and parking areas, and clean the storefront base and entry mats. Local rules on wash water and storm drains may apply, so we collect debris first and keep runoff controlled as much as the site allows. Some owners add a post-flood visit as a standing item.
How often should a business pressure wash its sidewalks and entries?
It depends on foot traffic and what your business does. Restaurants and busy retail entries often benefit from monthly or every-other-month washing, while an office building might only need it seasonally. Dumpster pads usually need the most frequent attention because grease and food waste build up quickly. We can look at your site and suggest a schedule based on how fast it gets dirty in our humid coastal climate.
Can you clean drive-thru lanes and oil stains?
Yes. Drive-thru lanes collect oil, grease and tire marks where cars idle. We pretreat stains with a degreaser, let it work, then clean the lane with a surface cleaner and hot or cold water depending on the stain. Fresh oil spots usually lighten a lot or come out completely. Older stains that have soaked deep into the concrete may only lighten, and we tell you that up front.
