Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my steps so slippery?
Algae and moss grow on damp surfaces. Steps often stay damp longer than flat areas - water runs off the tread but the riser stays wet. Perfect for green growth.
Is jet washing safe for all step types?
Most yes - stone, concrete, brick all fine. Old crumbling steps or very soft stone need gentler approach. We adjust pressure for the material.
How long will clean steps stay clean?
Depends on position and drainage. Shaded, damp steps need more frequent cleaning. Well-drained sunny steps stay cleaner longer. Treatment can extend it.
Can you treat after washing?
Yes - anti-algae treatment slows regrowth. Worth considering for problem areas. Extra cost but reduces how often you need cleaning.
