Liability Warning: Algae and mold on concrete driveways, walkways, and pool decks create serious slip hazards. Property owners can be held liable for slip-and-fall injuries on neglected surfaces.
Concrete looks permanent but is actually porous — it traps oil, algae, mold, and mineral deposits that eat into the surface over time. Regular pressure washing removes these contaminants, restores traction, and extends the life of your driveway, sidewalk, patio, or pool deck. American Services AR provides professional concrete cleaning throughout Conway and Central Arkansas.
Concrete needs cleaning when: You see green or black biological growth, oil stains from vehicles, rust streaks, efflorescence (white mineral deposits), or the surface feels slippery when wet.
Our Concrete Cleaning Process
1
Pre-Treatment
We apply degreaser or algaecide depending on stain type — oil, algae, and rust each require a different pre-treatment for best results.
2
Hot or Cold Pressure Wash
Commercial-grade pressure washing at 2,500–4,000 PSI removes embedded dirt, biological growth, and surface contamination.
3
Surface Rinse & Inspection
Thorough rinse removes all residue, followed by inspection to identify any spots needing additional attention.
4
Optional Sealer Application
Concrete sealer applied after cleaning protects against future staining and slows biological regrowth (quoted separately).

Frequently Asked Questions — Concrete Cleaning
How often should concrete be cleaned?
Driveways and sidewalks in Arkansas should be cleaned every 1–2 years. Pool decks and patios near trees or in shaded areas may need annual cleaning due to faster algae growth. Commercial concrete in high-traffic areas often benefits from cleaning every 6–12 months.
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh oil stains respond very well to hot water pressure washing with a degreaser pre-treatment. Old, set-in oil stains that have penetrated deep into the concrete may lighten significantly but might not fully disappear — we’ll be honest about expectations before we start.
Will pressure washing damage my concrete?
Not when done correctly. We use the appropriate PSI for the surface condition and age. Newer concrete (under 1 year) requires lower pressure. Older concrete in poor condition is assessed before treatment. We do not use rotary surface cleaners on damaged concrete.
Do you clean pool decks?
Yes. Pool decks require special attention — we use appropriate chemical concentrations that won’t harm pool water if overspray occurs, and take care around expansion joints and decorative coatings.
Can you clean the concrete around my business?
Yes. We serve commercial clients including retail storefronts, restaurant walkways, warehouse loading docks, and property management companies managing multi-tenant buildings throughout Central Arkansas.
Should I seal my concrete after cleaning?
Sealing is optional but recommended, especially for driveways and pool decks. A clean surface accepts sealer properly — sealing dirty concrete traps contaminants inside. We can coordinate timing so the surface is clean and dry before your sealer application.
