This Pressure Cleaning article is written for Melbourne owners and managers who need more than a quick blast. Commercial Pressure Cleaning jobs in our city require a surface diagnosis before any cleaning starts.

In Melbourne, everything from growth corridor new-build mortar smear to inner-suburb heritage brick has its own cleaning risk profile. The right method, chemistry and pressure keep the surface safe and the result lasting.

Stormwater isnt sewer

Detergent, oil-loaded water and chemical-laden runoff cannot legally enter the stormwater system in Victoria.

Containment options

Drain mats, bunds, vacuum recovery and on-site filtration are all proven methods. Bigger commercial jobs require all of them.

Insurance rides on this

A breach can void public liability cover. Under-equipped cleaners often have neither containment nor proper insurance.

On the job

  • Understand why stormwater isnt sewer matters before you choose a cleaner.
  • Understand why containment options matters before you choose a cleaner.
  • Understand why insurance rides on this matters before you choose a cleaner.
