Concrete & Driveway Cleaning

Years of algae, oil, and grime can make even good concrete look tired. Adams Power Shower brings driveways, sidewalks, and patios across St. Louis and St. Charles back to life with even, streak-free pressure washing — no zebra stripes, no shortcuts.

What We Clean

If it's flat and it's concrete, we clean it. Our flatwork service covers just about every hard surface around your home or business:
  • Driveways — including stained, oil-spotted, and tire-marked concrete
  • Sidewalks, walkways, and front steps
  • Patios and pool decks
  • Garage floors and entryways
  • Curbs, aprons, and porch slabs
We tackle the full range of buildup that settles into concrete over time: algae, mildew, and moss, ground-in dirt, oil and grease, rust, leaf and tannin stains, and stubborn chewing gum. The result is a clean, uniform surface — not a patchwork of light and dark spots.

Why a Streak-Free Clean Matters

Anyone can point a pressure washer at a driveway. Doing it right is another story. We use a dedicated flat-surface cleaner — a spinning, hooded tool that holds the spray at a consistent height and angle. That's what gives you an even, edge-to-edge finish instead of the wavy “zebra stripes” you get from waving a wand back and forth by hand.
For the tough spots — old oil, grease, and deep-set stains — we add hot water and targeted spot treatment so the stain lifts instead of just getting blasted around. Beyond looks, a clean surface is a safer one: algae and mildew make concrete slick, and clearing them out removes a real slip-and-fall hazard for your family and guests.
Want it to stay clean longer? Ask about our optional clean & seal. After we wash and let the concrete dry, we apply a quality sealer that helps repel oil and water, slows down future staining, and protects the surface from freeze-thaw wear — extending the life of your concrete here in the Missouri seasons.

What Affects Your Price

No two driveways are the same, so we don't use one-size-fits-all pricing. Here's what we look at when we put together your quote:
  • Size & square footage — a small front walk and a long, wide driveway are very different jobs.
  • Surface type — smooth poured concrete, exposed aggregate, stamped concrete, and pavers each clean differently.
  • Condition — light surface dirt is quick; years of algae, oil, or rust take more time and spot treatment.
  • Accessibility — easy access keeps things efficient; tight gates, steep grades, or distance from a water source can add time.
  • Add-ons — optional clean & seal is priced separately so you only pay for what you want.
Every estimate is free and customized to your property. We'll take a look, talk through what you want, and give you an honest, up-front price — no pressure and no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will pressure washing remove oil stains from my driveway?

In most cases, yes. We pre-treat oil and grease spots with a degreaser and use hot water to break the stain loose, then clean with our flat-surface tool for an even finish. Very old, deeply soaked-in stains may lighten rather than vanish completely, and we'll always tell you honestly what to expect before we start.

Should I seal my concrete after cleaning?

Sealing is optional, but it's a smart move on driveways and patios that see oil, road salt, and Missouri freeze-thaw cycles. A sealer helps repel stains, slows future buildup, and protects the surface so it lasts longer. The best time to seal is right after a thorough cleaning, while the concrete is at its cleanest — so we can do both in one visit.

How often should driveways be cleaned?

For most St. Louis and St. Charles homes, once a year keeps concrete looking sharp and stops algae and mildew from taking hold. Shady, north-facing, or tree-covered areas tend to grow green faster and may benefit from cleaning more often. If your surface is getting slick or you can see green and black streaks, it's time.
