Concrete Cleaning in Lodi, CA
Grime Getterz cleans Lodi concrete (driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and commercial pads) with rotary surface cleaners at 3,000+ PSI for an even, stripe-free finish. Stains get treated first with the right chemistry: degreaser for oil, oxalic-acid treatment for rust, detergent pre-soak for fog-season algae.
Concrete is where pressure belongs
Everything we won't do to siding and roofs, concrete is built for. Hard flatwork takes real PSI, and it needs it: Lodi concrete spends winters damp under Tule fog growing black algae in its pores, and the rest of the year collecting vineyard dust, tire film, and hard-water minerals. Pressure alone still isn't the whole answer: chemistry opens each stain first, then the surface cleaner strips the surface uniformly clean.
The even-finish standard
Wand-washing concrete leaves the striping you see on amateur jobs: overlapping arcs that show for months. Our rotary surface cleaners hold spray height and speed constant across the slab, which is what produces a single, even color. Edges, corners, and expansion joints get hand detailing. It's the difference between concrete that got sprayed and concrete that got cleaned.
Residential and commercial flatwork
Home driveways and patios; city-facing sidewalk frontage downtown; drive-thru lanes, fuel islands, loading docks, and dumpster pads along Kettleman Lane and Cherokee Lane and the Highway 99 frontage. Commercial concrete runs on night and early-morning scheduling with full runoff containment where required. Ask about recurring service: grease and gum come back, and route pricing beats call-outs.
Questions We Actually Get
What PSI do you use on concrete?
Generally 3,000+ PSI through a surface cleaner: the pressure hard flatwork is meant to take. What we never do is aim that at siding, wood, or roofs, which need soft washing instead.
Why is my concrete black in the shade?
Algae and mildew living in the surface pores, fed by fog-season damp. A detergent pre-treatment kills it before the pressure pass, which keeps it from returning within the month.
Can old, stained concrete really come back?
Usually further than owners expect. Treated oil, rust, and organic staining release remarkably well. Deep-set stains that have soaked for years may leave faint shadows. We'll tell you which before we start.
Do you seal concrete after cleaning?
On request, yes: a penetrating sealer that makes the slab shed oil and algae instead of absorbing them. Smart money in a town where concrete stays fog-damp all winter.
