Pressure washing in Winston-Salem

Winston-Salem's stormwater staff give wash water two places it shouldn't go. The city's wash water page says it shouldn't run into storm drains, and it shouldn't land on hard surfaces like roads or parking lots either. The page calls wash water the leftover water from cleaning something, and says it can carry harmful pollutants.

For businesses that handle wash water regularly, the page lists a sanitary drain as the first choice: a mop sink, a toilet or a bathtub. It adds a warning to check that the mop sink is connected to the sanitary sewer system, not the stormwater system.

The city's tips for businesses add two lines that fit a wash day at a house. Never hose into gutters or storm drains. Don't rinse paint containers or clean paintbrushes into a street, gutter or storm drain.

Grass comes last, and with conditions. The page allows wash water onto a flat, grassy area only when no other option is available, the ground is dry and not saturated, and the soap or cleaner is biodegradable. If your lawn is still soggy from last night's storm, that option is off the table.

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.
