Pressure Washing
Pressure washing
Is a versatile, high-impact cleaning solution for many exterior surfaces — but it’s also a technique that requires expertise. All American Washpro offers professional pressure washing services designed to clean, restore, and prepare surfaces across residential and commercial properties in Somerville, TN. Our team understands the right pressure, temperature, and cleaning agents for each task, delivering results without damaging your property.
Why Pressure Washing Matters
Surface contaminants like oil, rust, grime, graffiti, and biological growth not only make properties look worn but also degrade surfaces over time. Pressure washing removes these contaminants quickly and effectively, restoring original surface appearance and preparing surfaces for sealing, painting, or repair. It also improves safety by eliminating slippery residues and removes allergens and pollutants that reduce indoor and outdoor air quality.
What Pressure Washing Can Do
Restore concrete and pavers to original color
Remove oil, grease, and tire marks from driveways and parking areas
Remove stubborn stains, gum, and paint overspray
Prepare surfaces for painting, sealing, or resurfacing
Clean heavy equipment, service bays, and industrial areas

Chemical selection: Use detergents or degreasers where needed to break down contaminants.
Containment & runoff control: Protect landscaping and comply with regulations.
Post-wash inspection: Confirm results and address any areas needing touch-up.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will pressure washing damage my surface?
It can if pressure and techniques are not matched to the surface. We tailor PSI, nozzle type, and technique to prevent damage.
What is the difference between hot and cold pressure washing?
Hot water is more effective on oil and grease. Cold water works for general dirt and grime and is often used with detergents.
How should I prepare my property before a pressure wash?
Remove fragile items from the exterior, close windows and doors, and notify tenants. We handle protection of landscaping and cover electrical outlets as needed.
Do you remove paint and coatings with pressure washing?
Yes, we can remove loose or failing paint in preparation for repainting, but we will adjust pressure to avoid damaging the substrate.
How long does it take for a pressure-washed surface to dry?
Drying times vary by surface and weather; typically a few hours in warm, dry conditions.
