Frequently asked questions.

What exactly is pressure washing?

Pressure washing is a fast and effective way to clean all sorts of outdoor surfaces using a powerful stream of water. It helps remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, algae, and other unwanted buildup from your home, driveway, fence, patio, and more. It not only makes everything look cleaner but also helps extend the life of the surfaces.

Is pressure washing safe for my home and landscaping?

Yes! When done by Nimbus, pressure washing is completely safe. We adjust the pressure and use expert techniques that won’t harm your plants, pets, or paint. We also take extra care around windows, siding, and delicate areas to ensure everything is cleaned thoroughly—without any damage.

How often should I have my house or driveway pressure washed?

Great question! Here’s a quick guide:

  • Driveways & Curbs: Once or twice a year helps prevent staining from oil, dirt, and weather buildup. This can vary, and we recommend to have yard work and mulching done first.

  • House Exteriors: Once a year keeps siding clean and free from mold, mildew, and algae.

  • Poolside Areas: Depending on how much the pool is used and moisture exposure the area gets, every 6-12 months is recommended.

Regular cleaning not only keeps your property looking sharp—it also helps protect surfaces from long-term damage.

How long does the pressure washing service usually take?

It really depends on the size and condition of the area we’re cleaning, but here are some general time frames:

  • Sidewalks: 1-2 hours

  • Driveways or Poolsides: 2–5 hours

  • Full house exterior: 2+ hours

How should I prepare for my pressure washing appointment?

Preparation is simple, and we’ll handle the rest! Here’s what you can do before we arrive:

  • Close all windows and doors to prevent water from getting inside.

  • Move outdoor furniture, grills, potted plants, and decorations away from the areas being cleaned to avoid a fee.

  • Park vehicles away from the driveway or curb if those are being washed.

  • Keep pets and kids indoors during the service.

  • Let us know if there are any problem areas or sensitive surfaces you’d like us to be extra careful with.

That’s it! Nimbus will take it from there and leave everything clean and sparkly.
