Embedded dirt
Traffic and weather leave the surface dull or uneven in colour.
Professional paver cleaning
Clean the Pavers Without Damaging the Surface.
We use controlled pressure and the right cleaning sequence to remove buildup while protecting the pavers and preparing joints for any needed renewal.
Repair-first recommendationsLocal Ottawa service
Pressure with control
More pressure is not always better.
Aggressive washing can scar the paver face, remove too much joint material and drive water where it should not go.
Professional cleaning matches pressure, distance and technique to the condition of the pavers, then evaluates whether the joints need to be replenished.
Ask about your repairWhat to look for
Signs this repair may be needed.
A visible change in the surface can point to a problem with support, restraint or drainage beneath it.
Moss and organic growth
Shaded, damp areas develop slippery buildup between and over pavers.
Surface staining
Spills, leaves and runoff leave marks that routine rinsing does not remove.
Old joint debris
Failed or contaminated joint material needs removal before replacement.
The repair process
Fix the problem in the right order.
Every repair begins with the condition beneath the surface—not with a coating or cosmetic shortcut.
- 01Inspect the surface
Check paver condition, drainage, joints and stain type before cleaning.
- 02Protect adjacent areas
Prepare nearby walls, plantings and transitions for the cleaning work.
- 03Clean methodically
Use appropriate pressure, distance and passes across the paver surface.
- 04Review the joints
Confirm whether displaced or failed joint material should be renewed.
Cleaning plus protection
Plan the joints and sealer after the surface is clean.
Cleaning exposes the true condition of the pavers. Joint repair or sealing should be recommended only after the surface has been assessed and allowed to dry properly.

- Lift, diagnose and relay

Common questions
Before you request a quote.
Send photos and a short description if you are unsure which repair applies.
Can I pressure wash interlock myself?
It is possible, but excessive pressure or a concentrated nozzle can damage the paver face and remove joint material. Technique matters as much as the machine.
Will pressure washing remove polymeric sand?
Cleaning can displace loose or failed joint material. The joints should be inspected afterward and renewed when necessary.
Does cleaning remove every stain?
Results depend on the stain, paver porosity, age and previous treatments. Some deep stains may improve without disappearing completely.
Should pavers be sealed after washing?
Sealing may be appropriate after the surface is clean, dry and structurally stable. It is a separate decision based on the desired finish and condition.
