Pressure Washing Vancouver

Vancouver’s climate is a blessing and a curse. The rain keeps our city green, but it also leaves behind slippery moss on walkways, grime on siding, and oil stains that seem to sink into every parking stall. If you manage a strata, own commercial property, or run a busy storefront, you know the cycle: spring hits, the sidewalks are streaked with algae; fall rolls around, leaves and dirt cake the building’s entrance; winter comes, and with it, months of wet grime that never really dries out. That’s where professional pressure washing makes the difference between a property that looks neglected and one that feels safe, clean, and cared for.

At Secured Property Group, our pressure washing service is designed for the way BC properties actually age. We don’t just rinse down a surface and call it done. We factor in our damp West Coast weather, the salt that creeps up from nearby ocean air, and the constant traffic that commercial lots see in urban cores like Downtown Vancouver, Burnaby’s Metrotown district, and Richmond’s busy retail strips.

Why Pressure Washing Matters in BC

1. Safety in Rainy Seasons

Walkways in Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Surrey can get slick fast. Algae and moss thrive in our climate. A quick sweep won’t cut it—you need high-pressure cleaning to remove that buildup before it causes slips and falls. Property managers know this well: one injury on common property can spiral into insurance headaches.

2. Protecting Building Surfaces

Stucco, concrete, and siding here face constant exposure to rain and coastal air. If you’ve walked through Coal Harbour or Yaletown, you’ve seen how fast surfaces discolor. Regular pressure washing helps prevent permanent staining, which means fewer expensive repairs down the line.

3. First Impressions for Tenants and Customers

BC renters and shoppers are picky—curb appeal matters. A strata in Kitsilano with a clean entry or a retail plaza in Langley with spotless walkways sends a signal that management is on top of things. On the flip side, grime tells people you’ve checked out.

Where We Pressure Wash

Our team works across Metro Vancouver, handling everything from strata complexes in Burnaby to commercial lots in Richmond and single-family homes in the North Shore.

Strata Properties: Walkways, stairwells, parkade entrances, and common areas that need seasonal deep cleaning.
Commercial Lots: Storefronts, signage, sidewalks, and garbage enclosures that get hammered by daily traffic.
Residential Driveways & Patios: Oil stains, moss patches, and patio furniture areas that become slippery through winter.
Parkades & Underground Garages: These are notorious in Vancouver for collecting vehicle drips, tire marks, and salt residue in winter.

Local Signals: Why We Get It

Pressure washing in Vancouver isn’t the same as pressure washing in the prairies. Here’s why local knowledge counts:

Rain Frequency: Surfaces rarely dry fully in fall and winter. We time washes to maximize results, avoiding days when the rain will undo the work within hours.
Tree Litter: Anyone in the Lower Mainland knows about the mess maple leaves make when they stick to concrete. Add moisture, and you get staining that’s tough to remove.
Coastal Air: Salt in the air speeds up corrosion and staining—especially for properties near English Bay or the Fraser River.
Bylaw Awareness: Some municipalities in Metro Vancouver restrict runoff when using detergents. We follow guidelines so your strata or business doesn’t get slapped with fines.

Smart Services beyond pressure washing

One-off cleanings only go so far. That’s why many of our clients pair pressure washing with other property services for complete upkeep:

Janitorial Services: Once the surfaces are pressure washed, our janitorial team can keep them looking fresh week to week.
Junk Removal: Old furniture, debris, and waste often clutter outdoor areas. Clearing it before pressure washing gives better results.
Handyman Services: Small repairs to siding, decks, or pavement cracks help preserve surfaces after cleaning.
Home: Explore our full range of property services that keep your assets secure and maintained year-round.

This integrated approach means you’re not just reacting to grime, you’re staying ahead of

Pressure Washing Process

Our Pressure Washing Process

Inspection: We walk the property to identify problem spots—slippery stairs, oil-stained stalls, or high-traffic sidewalks.
Surface Prep: Junk or debris is cleared out so the pressure washing isn’t wasted on clutter.
Targeted Cleaning: Different nozzles and settings are used for each surface, so concrete, wood, and siding get the right treatment.
Eco-Friendly Considerations: We’re mindful of water usage and detergents, especially around storm drains.
Final Review: You get before-and-after clarity, so you can see what’s been restored and what might need ongoing care.

Why Property Managers Call Us

If you’re managing a strata, commercial plaza, or office tower in Metro Vancouver, you already know the pattern: calls from tenants about slippery stairs, complaints about parking stalls, and pressure from councils or boards to “make it look better.” Pressure washing checks those boxes fast, but when it’s done with BC’s climate in mind, it lasts longer and protects your investment.

Property managers tell us the difference is in the reporting and consistency. After a wash, you’ll know exactly what was done, where the problems were, and what could use ongoing attention. That’s the kind of detail strata councils and commercial landlords appreciate when budgets and liability are on the line.
