Pressure washing in Chattanooga

Downtown Chattanooga runs on an older kind of sewer. The city's Water Quality Program counts nine watersheds, and one of them, the Combined Sewer Area, drains just over 2,000 acres of downtown through a system that carries stormwater runoff and sanitary sewage in a single pipe. The city's flyer says the area is unlike any other watershed in Chattanooga for that reason. So if your house is downtown, the rain off your roof and driveway, and any rinse water that runs to the street, joins the sewage in the same pipe.

Wherever you live in the city, its list of what stays out of a storm drain is short and plain: used motor oil, leaves, paint, or anything else.

Your neighborhood stream gets checked, too. The city's watershed flyers lay out a continuous field screening program meant to catch illicit discharges and improper disposal into the stormwater system. The tests cover temperature, pH, phosphates, copper and ammonia, and they also look for detergents and chlorine.

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.
