The difference

You can see where we've been

On a garage deck, the clean path shows up behind the surface cleaner right away.

  • Hot water, not just pressure. Heated water breaks down oil and tire grime that cold rigs push around.
  • Surface cleaners for open decks. An even, streak-free pass instead of wand lines.
  • Wands for edges and walls. Curb stops, drains, columns, and walls get detailed by hand.
  • Water recovery. We can vacuum up wash water instead of sending it to storm drains.

How a garage job runs

Our process

The same five steps on every deck, so the results are consistent from level to level.

  1. Two crew members sweeping debris from a rooftop garage deck
    1

    Clear debris

    Sweep, blow, and haul trash so the wash water carries grime, not litter, to the drains.

  2. Crew member applying cleaning foam to a concrete garage wall
    2

    Pre-treat

    Apply cleaner to oil spots, grease, and stained walls and give it time to work.

  3. Crew member running a surface cleaner along a curb, steam rising

    Surface clean

    Hot-water surface cleaners cover open deck and sidewalk evenly.

  4. Crew member wand-washing the base of a garage wall at sunrise

    Detail edges

    Wands on curb stops, wall bases, columns, and corners the machine can't reach.

  5. Crew member squeegeeing rinse water across a rooftop deck

    Rinse & recover

    Final rinse, then wash water is squeegeed to our recovery vacuum or to approved drains, and the level is ready to reopen.
