Pressure washing in Fort Wayne

The power and pressure washing section of Fort Wayne's stormwater rules, adopted by the Board of Stormwater Management, took effect in its current form on July 14, 2026. Cleaning building exteriors and windows counts. So does roof cleaning, whether the water is heated or not and whether or not detergent goes on under pressure.

The rule starts from a presumption: water from a power or pressure wash may be assumed to carry more than clean water. So it can't go into the public stormwater system, directly or indirectly, and the rules spell out that the system means storm drains, roadside ditches, gutters and other drainage channels. The wash water has to be collected and contained.

Where it goes after that isn't one fixed answer. The rules have Development Services settle the disposal method and place with whoever is doing the cleaning.

The same section also covers your neighbors. Wash water may not flow onto any private ground except the property where the cleaning is being done, and it may not run onto public property or the right-of-way.

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.
