Pressure Cleaning in Griffin

Local pressure cleaning for Griffin homes

Griffin is a growing suburb about 22 km north of Brisbane, between the Bruce Highway and Hays Inlet, with Freshwater Creek on its northern edge and the North Pine River to the south. The eastern side is wetland, and Osprey House Environmental Centre sits on the water there. From our base in Caboolture it is a straight run down the highway.

Residential development in Griffin only began in the late 1990s, so most homes are modern. You will find brick and render houses on standard and compact blocks, newer townhouse developments, and plenty of homes still within their first decade or two. Driveways tend to be exposed aggregate or coloured concrete, and many front yards have paved entries and small gardens.

Newer does not mean low maintenance. Being bordered by a river, a creek and wetland, Griffin has plenty of moisture in the air, and that helps algae and mould settle on shaded concrete, render and fences. Many homeowners first notice it as a green tinge on the side path or a grey film creeping up the bottom of the walls. On aggregate, the dark build-up between the stones makes the whole driveway look older than it is.

We clean aggregate and coloured concrete with a pre-treatment and a rotary surface cleaner, using the pressure the surface can take so the finish is not stripped. Render, painted surfaces and fences are soft washed instead, which kills the growth and rinses away dirt without marking the paint. Gutters and fascias are cleaned at the same time if you want the full house done.

Ongoing construction in and around Griffin means a lot of dust in the air, and it settles on solar panels along with bird droppings, which are common near the wetlands and river. Even a thin layer reduces how much power your system makes. We clean panels from the ground with pure water, so there is no residue and nobody walks on the array. Single storey roofs can be soft washed during the same visit.

Newer homes are also the easiest to keep on top of. A clean every year or two stops mould from getting deep into aggregate and render, which keeps each visit quicker and cheaper than tackling years of build-up later. If you are in Griffin, send through a few photos of the driveway, walls, roof or panels and we can usually fit you in within a week or so.
