Pressure washing in Memphis

Memphis is one of the few cities that gets all of its water from the ground. MLGW's 2025 water quality report says its wells draw from the Memphis Sand Aquifer, from 350 to 1,100 feet down, and the water is aerated and filtered before it goes out to homes. That's the water in your garden hose and in your crew's pressure washer.

The weather is damp, too. NOAA's long-run humidity table puts average morning humidity there at 84 to 85 percent from July through September. By afternoon it falls to 55 to 57 percent. If you're washing the house yourself in late summer, the afternoon is the drier half of the day to do it.

The water itself is gentle. The report puts the 2025 average hardness at 48 parts per million, or 2.8 grains per gallon, and the U.S. Geological Survey classes anything from 0 to 60 milligrams per liter as soft. Readings in the report ran from 14 all the way up to 150, though, and the same USGS scale calls 150 hard.

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.
