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
- 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 it 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
- 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.
Common 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.
