Most average parking lots have multiple grease and oil stains. If they are not removed quickly, they can become safety hazards for both pedestrians and vehicles. The people who use your parking lots might fall down, or vehicles may lose control because of such oil and grease slicks. There are also several other important reasons to get your parking lot power washed by expert professionals. 

Dirt and Grime

All concrete surfaces are essentially porous in nature. This means that dirt and grit can get inside where they will solidify. When it rains or snows, water will also end up deep inside those pores. In time, it will become a breeding ground for algae and mold. Once that happens, your concrete surface will lose its structural integrity, and cracks will start forming all over the place.  

Furthermore, the dirt and water inside will also go through expansion and contraction cycles with every season. If your concrete surface isn’t clean enough, it will require major repairs or even outright replacement. However, getting your concrete professionally washed, as a matter of routine, will save you from many such expenses. 

A Dirty Parking Lot Can Devalue Your Brand Image

When customers walk or drive into your lot, its condition will be the first thing they notice. If it is dirty and unkempt, they would not want to frequent your establishment.  They might conclude that you won’t be able to take care of your customers if you can’t take care of your property.   

Dirty Concrete Surface Often Become Potholes

The sun’s rays can harden all the pollutants under the concrete surface. UV radiation will eventually strip away its upper layers leading to the potholing of the upper surface. Your customers’ cars will have to go through those potholes whenever they visit your premises. 

You can resolve all these issues by hiring a professional pressure washing outfit. Experts will use very high-powered jets of hot water to melt the grease and the oil and remove them from deep inside the concrete. 

They will use special detergents and scouring agents to thoroughly clean your concrete surface and remove all the pollutants, as well as apply a sealant once finished to avoid future damage. Once done, your concrete will look as good as new.
