How do you know when it's time to call in the professionals? Here are the tell-tale signs that your driveway is overdue a clean.
The most obvious sign is visible green or black growth. Moss and algae thrive in damp, shaded areas and once established, they spread quickly. A few green patches might seem minor but beneath the surface, the root systems are working their way into the joints of block paving or the surface of concrete, causing gradual damage.
Oil stains are another clear indicator. Every time a vehicle drips oil or fuel onto a driveway, it leaves a stain that, if left untreated, becomes progressively harder to remove. If your driveway has multiple dark stains near where vehicles are parked, it's time for a professional clean with degreaser treatment.
If your driveway feels slippery underfoot in wet weather, that's a safety warning sign. Algae and moss create a film that reduces grip dramatically, especially on smooth surfaces. This is particularly dangerous for elderly residents or young children. A professional clean restores the original surface grip and makes your driveway safe again.
