Pressure Washing Concrete Cleans and Protects Outdoor Surfaces

Texas Stone Sealers cleans concrete surfaces with professional pressure washing services that remove years of dirt, stains, and buildup while preparing them for long-term protection. Concrete is a workhorse material, used for everything from driveways and patios to pool decks and walkways. It is tough and versatile, but its porous nature means it can easily absorb water, oil, algae, and other contaminants. Without regular maintenance, concrete can lose its bright, clean look and begin to deteriorate. Our process of pressure washing concrete restores your concrete and then seals it with premium TSSPro sealant products so it stays cleaner for longer and is better protected against the elements.

Texas Stone Sealers can apply the sealant that can bring your concrete surfaces back to life.

Key Points on Pressure Washing Concrete

• Pressure Washing Concrete removes dirt, algae, rust stains, and tire marks from concrete.
• Commercial-grade pressure washing penetrates deep into the pores.
• Sealing with TSSPro products extends the life of your concrete.
• Prevents water intrusion, cracking, and surface erosion.
• Improves curb appeal and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Concrete Cleaning and Sealing Overview

Why Concrete Needs More Than Just Cleaning

Concrete is one of the most durable building materials available, yet it is surprisingly vulnerable to certain types of damage. Oil leaks, rust stains, mold, and mildew can all penetrate deep into the surface. Over time, these contaminants cause discoloration and may weaken the concrete.

In colder climates, the freeze-thaw cycle can take a toll on unsealed concrete. Water seeps into the pores, freezes, and expands, causing cracks and surface spalling. In hot, sunny regions, UV exposure can cause gradual fading and weaken the surface structure.

Regular pressure washing helps remove the buildup that causes these problems, but without sealing, contaminants and moisture will quickly find their way back into the material.

Our Professional Concrete Cleaning Process

Texas Stone Sealers begins with a full evaluation of your concrete to determine the best cleaning approach. We identify any oil spots, rust marks, algae growth, or stubborn stains. Our team uses professional-grade pressure washers with the correct PSI to safely remove surface grime without damaging the concrete.

For heavy staining, we use specialized cleaning solutions that lift oil, rust, and organic growth from the pores. By adjusting water pressure and spray patterns, we clean every part of the surface thoroughly, including textured or stamped concrete where dirt can hide in grooves and patterns.

Once the concrete is completely clean, we allow it to dry fully before applying a high-quality sealer.

Sealing Concrete with TSSPro Products

Sealing concrete after pressure washing is the best way to keep it looking clean and extend its lifespan. For concrete, we often recommend:

• TSSPro200 – A penetrating solvent-based sealer designed for porous materials like concrete. It provides deep, invisible protection against moisture and stains.
• TSSPro230 – Offers the same protection as TSSPro200 but adds a wet-look matte finish for enhanced color.
• TSSPro550 – Our premium penetrating sealer for maximum stain resistance, ideal for high-traffic areas like driveways and commercial spaces.

These sealers penetrate deeply, bonding within the pores of the concrete to block water and contaminants while allowing the material to breathe naturally. They can last up to 7 or 8 years before needing reapplication, making them a smart long-term investment.

Benefits of Sealing Concrete After Pressure Washing Concrete

1. Moisture Resistance – Prevents water from soaking in and causing damage.
2. Stain Protection – Guards against oil drips, rust, and organic stains.
3. Freeze-Thaw Defense – Reduces cracking and surface flaking in colder climates.
4. Easier Cleaning – Dirt and spills stay on the surface instead of penetrating.
5. Extended Lifespan – Keeps concrete stronger and better looking for years.

FAQs About Pressure Washing and Sealing Concrete

1. How often should concrete be pressure washed?
   Every 1 to 2 years for driveways and high-traffic areas, or sooner if heavy staining occurs.
2. Can I pressure wash my own concrete?
   Yes, but professional equipment and techniques remove deeper buildup and avoid uneven cleaning marks.
3. Why is sealing important after washing?
   Cleaning opens the pores of the concrete. Sealing fills those pores with protective material, keeping water and stains out.
4. Will sealing change how my concrete looks?
   We can apply a natural-look sealer like TSSPro200 or a color-enhancing sealer like TSSPro230, depending on your preference.
5. How long do TSSPro sealers last on concrete?
   Most of our solvent-based sealers last 7 to 8 years before reapplication is needed.
