Pressure washing in Akron

Akron's list of illicit discharges reads like a weekend chore list. Washing vehicles where the runoff could drain into the storm system is on it. So is washing a parking area or a dumpster pad and letting the runoff drain in, pouring paint into or near the system, and changing oil or antifreeze over a storm structure. The city's stormwater program also goes looking for cross connections, where a storm line and a sanitary line were tied together.

Yard waste is on the list too. Dumping it into the storm drainage system can count as a violation of the ordinance. The one carve-out is leaf season: in residential neighborhoods, the city lets you rake leaves to the curb line for its seasonal leaf collection.

The ordinance doesn't stop at the street. The city's definition of the storm drainage system takes in streets, ditches, catch basins, lakes, streams and yard inlets. So if your lot has an inlet in the backyard, it's held to the same rule as the grate at the curb.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on the surface and how dirty it is, but a pro who sees the whole property will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is pressure washing priced?
Mostly by the square footage and the surface — a concrete driveway is cheaper per foot than siding or a wood deck, which need a gentler soft-wash. Heavy algae, mildew, or oil stains add to it because they take detergent and a second pass.
Will pressure washing damage my siding or deck?
It can if it’s done at full pressure on the wrong surface — that’s why good pros soft-wash siding and wood. Our ballpark factors in the gentler method for delicate surfaces.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot showing the full surface you want cleaned — the whole driveway or the side of the house — gives the best read on the size and how dirty it is.
