For 16 years, HydroClean has been the pressure washing company Hickory homeowners and businesses call when a surface needs to look new again. Driveways, concrete, brick, sidewalks, patios, and commercial flatwork — we bring the right amount of pressure and the right cleaning solution to lift years of dirt, mildew, algae, and red-clay staining without damaging the surface underneath. Locally owned, fully insured, and backed by 5,000+ completed jobs across Catawba County.

What We Pressure Wash

Driveways, Concrete & Sidewalks

Concrete traps dirt, oil, tire marks, and the green-black algae that thrives in our Foothills humidity. Our surface cleaners deliver an even, streak-free finish across the whole slab — no zebra striping, no gouging — and we treat the organic growth so it stays cleaner longer.

Brick, Block & Hardscape

Brick walls, retaining walls, pavers, and steps get a controlled clean that clears moss and mildew from the mortar joints without blasting them out. We dial pressure to the material, not the other way around.

Patios, Pool Decks & Walkways

High-traffic surfaces collect grime fast. We restore the original color and texture and leave the area safe to walk — algae and mildew make these surfaces slick, and that’s as much a safety issue as a curb-appeal one.

Red-Clay & Rust Removal

Catawba County’s red clay stains concrete and siding in a way standard washing won’t touch. We carry the specialized treatments that actually pull it out.

Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing — We Use the Right One

Not every surface should be hit with high pressure. Hard surfaces like concrete and brick can take it; siding, roofs, and painted wood cannot — high pressure forces water behind them and strips finishes. That’s why we also offer soft washing for those surfaces. If your project is mostly siding or roof, start with our house washing and roof cleaning services.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pressure washing cost in Hickory?

Every property is different, so we quote each job individually based on size, surfaces, and how much buildup there is. Estimates are free — call (828) 499-1318 and we’ll get you a real number, not a guess.

How often should I pressure wash my driveway and concrete?

For most Hickory homes, once a year keeps concrete looking good and stops algae from taking hold. Shaded or north-facing areas that stay damp may benefit from more frequent cleaning.

Will pressure washing damage my concrete or brick?

Not when it’s done right. We match pressure and technique to each surface and use surface cleaners for even results. Hard surfaces handle pressure well; for siding and roofs we switch to soft washing.

Do you remove red-clay and rust stains?

Yes. Standard washing won’t lift Catawba County’s red clay or rust — those need specialized treatments, which we carry and apply as part of the job.

Are you insured?

Yes, HydroClean is fully licensed and insured, and we’ve completed 5,000+ jobs across the Hickory area since 2010.
