The Reality
If you live anywhere in Metro Vancouver, your home exterior takes a beating — rain, algae, salt air, and city pollution leave layers of grime most people don’t notice until it’s too late. By spring, driveways are slick, siding looks dull, and walkways are a slip hazard.
Yet too many homeowners still think, “It’s just cosmetic.”
The Opinion
Here’s the truth: pressure washing isn’t about appearances — it’s about preservation.
Leaving algae and grime on your siding, wood, or concrete can permanently stain or eat into materials. We’ve seen pressure washing literally save homeowners from thousands in replacement costs.
When to Do It
- Spring: Remove winter algae and debris buildup
- Fall: Prep for rain season, reduce moss/slip hazards
- Anytime: Before repainting, sealing, or selling
Why You Shouldn’t DIY It
We get it — pressure washers are available at every hardware store. But we’ve also seen hundreds of homes with etched siding, stripped paint, and ruined window seals from DIY jobs.
Professional pressure washing means:
- Proper PSI calibration for each surface
- Commercial-grade equipment
- Technicians trained in WorkSafeBC safety standards
How Clean Break Does It
Our team uses adjustable soft and pressure systems to safely clean concrete, siding, and decks — no streaks, no surface damage. Every job ends with a photo report, so you see exactly what you paid for.
The Takeaway
Pressure washing is home care, not vanity. Do it once a year and your home will look (and last) years longer.
