Pressure washing in Omaha

The Metropolitan Utilities District, which serves nearly 600,000 people across the Omaha area, has a short answer for a dirty patio. Its conservation page and its 2025 water quality report both say to clean patios, sidewalks and driveways with a broom instead of water. The report adds a reason to check the hose before a long wash: a single hose left on uses nearly 300 gallons of water an hour, so leaky connections are worth fixing quickly.

The city's stormwater code takes up the wash water itself in a section written for industrial and commercial activities. Section 32-62 of Chapter 32 lists discharges from those activities that are prohibited from the storm sewer system. One line names water from pressure washing, steam cleaning and hand scrubbing of sidewalks, gutters, steps, building exteriors, walls, driveways and other outdoor surfaces. The city notes that the list isn't exhaustive. For those activities, the discharges are prohibited unless a separate NPDES permit covers them or the city's Public Works Department approves them.

The city's stormwater program keeps its advice to residents short on its FAQ page: "Never put anything down a storm inlet!"

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.
