CONCRETE CLEANING

Our Professional Concrete Cleaning Process

At Transparent Property Services, we provide professional concrete cleaning in Buffalo, NY and surrounding communities including Amherst, Williamsville, Cheektowaga, Hamburg, West Seneca, Orchard Park, Niagara Falls, Tonawanda, North Tonawanda, Lockport, Batavia, East Aurora, Clarence, Kenmore, Grand Island, Lackawanna, Lewiston, and Eden. Concrete surfaces throughout Western New York are exposed to harsh seasonal conditions that require more than simply spraying them with high pressure.

Before cleaning begins, we evaluate the type and condition of the concrete. Driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, and stamped concrete all respond differently depending on age, porosity, prior sealing, and surface wear. Western New York winters introduce heavy salt exposure, freeze thaw stress, and embedded sediment that can weaken the surface if not addressed properly.

We identify the type of staining present before selecting a cleaning method. Organic growth such as algae and mildew requires a different treatment approach than oil stains, rust marks, or salt residue. Applying the correct cleaning solution at the proper dilution ratio is critical to breaking down contaminants without damaging the concrete or surrounding landscaping.

For organic buildup common in shaded areas of Amherst, Clarence, Orchard Park, and East Aurora, we apply professional grade cleaning agents designed to penetrate porous surfaces and lift staining at the source. For oil and automotive staining often found on driveways in Buffalo, Tonawanda, and Niagara Falls, targeted degreasing agents are used before pressure application. Salt residue from winter road treatment is addressed with controlled cleaning techniques that remove buildup without excessive surface abrasion.

Once the appropriate pre treatment has been applied and allowed to dwell, we use calibrated commercial grade equipment to clean the surface. Pressure levels are carefully controlled to prevent etching, striping, or surface degradation. Improper pressure washing can permanently scar concrete, which is why nozzle selection, spray angle, and distance from the surface are adjusted continuously during the cleaning process.

For larger driveway and patio areas, we use surface cleaning equipment designed to provide uniform results and prevent streaking. This ensures consistent restoration of the concrete’s natural appearance while minimizing risk of uneven wear.

After cleaning, we perform a detailed rinse and inspection to confirm that staining has been properly addressed and that no surface damage has occurred. If needed, we provide guidance on sealing or routine maintenance to help protect the concrete from future salt intrusion and staining.

Concrete surfaces in Buffalo and surrounding Western New York communities benefit from professional cleaning every one to two years, depending on exposure conditions. Regular maintenance not only improves curb appeal but also extends the life of the material by preventing long term degradation caused by salt, moisture, and organic growth.

Our approach to concrete cleaning is surface specific, climate aware, and methodical. We evaluate first, treat appropriately, and clean with precision. That professional decision making process protects your investment and delivers consistent, long lasting results.
