We recently had a family in the Westchase area call us to help clean their pool deck. It had gotten to the point where it had turned green and was even somewhat slick. Their kids almost slipped and fell trying to run back to the house. Algae is very prevalent in the Tampa area and can start to grow very quickly. The area receives nearly 46 inches of rain per year, with the majority of that happening between the months of June and September. This type of weather keeps everything damp, and as the pool deck sits in the sun and in the shade, it stays wet. This creates the perfect environment for algae, mold and mildew to grow. At Pink Flamingo Power Wash, we do pool deck pressure washing all over the Tampa area. We can clean your deck for you so you can get back to enjoying your backyard with your family.
Pressure washing the pool deck is one of the most common jobs we perform. It makes the area look better and it is safer too. Algae-covered concrete and pavers are very slippery, and one bad fall around the pool can cause serious injury. We clean pool decks with the proper amount of pressure and the correct cleaning solutions to gently remove growth without damage. The majority of black stain and green mildew found on pool decks is caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a very hardy form of algae. Regular cleaning will prevent it from overrunning the deck.
Pool Deck and Pool Cage Cleaning
The pool deck area is a very dirty area where sunscreen, body oils, leaves, pollen, and rain can collect on the surface over time, creating a dark, dirty appearance. In addition to cleaning the pool deck area, we also clean the pool cage and screen. Bugs, spider webs and grime can collect on screens and make them appear dirty. A clean cage allows for more light to enter the area and it will look clean and fresh. We are very careful when washing screens so we don’t puncture them. After we have washed the area it looks and feels like new.
Concrete Pressure Washing
The path from your house to the pool also gets dirty on the soiled deck. The same type of stains and algae grow on the concrete. We power wash concrete patios, sidewalks and stairs to a clean and shiny finish. Clean concrete also dries faster and prevents slippery surfaces. For that reason, many customers have us clean the concrete at the same time as the deck, so the whole backyard is spotless.
Paver Sealing
Pavers are one of the most common materials used for Tampa pool decks. Pavers are very attractive but often have many joints that collect dirt, plants and other debris. Pavers also have a tendency to fade in the sun. We can power wash your pavers to bring back the original color. In addition to cleaning your pavers, we can also apply a seal to lock in the color and help repel future stains. The sealed pavers will also help your pool deck handle the heavy rain that we get in the summer. Even the cleanest paver decks will benefit from a wash and seal.
Rust Stain Removal
Leftover sprinkler water and metal furniture can leave behind unsightly rust stains on pool decks. Typically, normal cleaning will not remove rust stains. We use a special treatment that safely removes those stubborn orange stains. Ask about our rust removal treatment when we come to wash your deck.
Residential Pressure Washing
While we specialize in cleaning pool decks, we provide complete exterior residential pressure washing for the entire house – driveway, fence and roof. We serve Carrollwood, Northdale, Lake Magdalene, Greater Northdale, Westchase, Citrus Park and Lutz. We know these neighborhoods and the types of pollen and algae that become problems here. We know how Tampa weather treats surfaces outside homes. That kind of knowledge is important. We do the job right the first time.
Why Tampa Homeowners Trust Pink Flamingo Power Wash
Simple work holds its value. Cliff built Pink Flamingo Power Wash to show up on time, clean surfaces the correct way and treat your home with the same respect that we would give to our own. Don’t get the wrong idea – we are not surface blasting machines. While hard surfaces are cleaned with the proper amount of force, soft surfaces are cleaned with gentle force. Therefore, decks, pavers and screens are cleaned and left in good shape. When looking for a company to perform pool deck pressure washing in Tampa, look for a company that has the knowledge to do it correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
<że>How often should I pressure wash my pool deck?
In Tampa, it is generally recommended to power wash a pool deck once a year. If your pool deck is heavily shaded or has many trees surrounding it, then every 6 to 9 months may be required. Shade and dampness promote algae growth.
Will pressure washing hurt my pavers or concrete?
Clean decking done properly involves selecting the right pressure and cleaner for the surface type; pavers and concrete, for example, require different cleaning approaches, and we ensure the correct approach is adopted to clean your decking safely.
How long does pool deck pressure washing take?
The average deck takes 2 to 4 hours to complete. Larger decks, pool cages, and additional paver sealing will take longer. We provide an estimated completion time prior to starting your project.
