Pressure cleaning and roof washing in Mount Gravatt

The driveways are the safety issue

A sloped concrete driveway with a film of moss and algae on it is genuinely dangerous when wet, and Brisbane summer storms make it wet a lot. On the steeper streets off the mountain this is the most common reason people call, and one of the few cleaning jobs we would describe as maintenance rather than cosmetics. A clean driveway grips.

The bushland is the gutter issue

Toohey Forest and the Mount Gravatt reserve mean eucalypt leaf drop all year, not just in autumn. Gum leaves pack into a dense mat water cannot get through, and a blocked gutter on a sloped block does not overflow harmlessly: it dumps concentrated run-off against the house and down the wall.

The aspect is the mould issue

Houses on the southern and south-eastern slopes sit in the mountain's shadow for part of the day. Those walls and roofs stay damp for hours longer than the same house two streets north, and grow mould accordingly. If one side of your house is visibly worse, that is almost always why.

Most housing is 1960s to 1980s brick and tile, with high-set homes and built-under extensions. Newer roofs across Upper Mount Gravatt often carry solar panels, worth cleaning at the same visit as the roof.
