Parking garage cleaning in Toronto is mostly a salt problem. Every car that drives in from December to March drips chloride onto the slab, and every spring that salt sits in the concrete, on the traffic membrane and in the sump pits. We wash it out with hot water at membrane-safe pressure and vacuum every drop into our hydrovac tank, one level at a time.

## Why Is Road Salt So Hard on Underground Garages?

Chloride from road salt is the main enemy of reinforced concrete. It moves through cracks and porous concrete toward the rebar, and once it gets there it accelerates corrosion. That is how garages end up with spalling ceilings, delaminating slabs and expensive repair projects in the reserve fund study.

Traffic membranes on suspended slabs slow that process, but only if they are kept clean and inspected. A membrane under a crust of salt and grit wears faster, and an engineer cannot assess what they cannot see. Add oil drips that make ramps slippery and sump pits half full of sand, and an annual garage wash becomes basic maintenance, not cosmetics.

## What Is Included in Parking Garage Cleaning?

-   **Drive aisles, stalls and ramps** washed with 200F hot water and rotary surface cleaners
-   **Oil and fluid spots** treated with degreaser
-   **Sump pits and trench drains** vacuumed of sediment and oily sludge
-   **Stairwells, entrances and elevator lobbies** at garage level, by request
-   **Level-by-level photo documentation**

We use low-clearance equipment that fits under beams and ductwork, and where a ride-on scrubber suits a finished floor better, we use one. The hydrovac recovers everything.

## How Do Garage Washing Contracts Work?

### Contract and pricing table

| Option | Scope | Pricing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| One-time spring wash | All levels, sumps, ramps | Written quote per level |
| Pre-inspection wash | Levels under engineer review | Written quote per level |
| Annual condo contract | Garage plus entrances and courtyards | Fixed per-visit rate, 12 months |

### COI delivery in 24 hours

Garage work is high on every board’s risk list. Our COI shows $2M liability, names the corporation as additional insured and arrives within one business day with WSIB clearance.

### Hydrovac wastewater containment (Toronto Municipal Code 681)

Garage wash water is loaded with chloride, oil and grit. It should never go down a floor drain or out to a storm sewer. Our on-truck hydrovac vacuums the water as we wash and pulls the sediment out of sump pits, and the load is disposed of properly. Our sister brand, Hydrovac Toronto, runs the same equipment for larger sump and catch basin programs.

## Level-by-Level Scheduling

Residents only need to move cars once. We wash one level per night, starting where traffic is lowest, with cones, signage and notices supplied. Management chooses where cars relocate, often to a visitor level or the level we finished the night before. Elevators and doors stay usable throughout.

## When Should a Garage Be Washed?

-   **Every spring**, after the last salting
-   **Before a membrane or structural condition review**
-   **Before a membrane repair or recoating project**, so contractors start on a clean slab
-   **After a fluid spill**, which our 24/7 line can dispatch for

## How Much Does Parking Garage Cleaning Cost?

We quote per level or per square foot after a site walk. Clearance, salt load, membrane type, sump condition and how cars are relocated all affect the work. You get the price in writing before we start, and condo corporations can add garages to an annual contract at locked rates.

## Common Garage Problems We Solve

### White salt crust on drive aisles and ramps

Chloride builds up fastest on ramps and entry levels. Hot water dissolves it and the hydrovac removes it from the slab.

### Oil drips under parking stalls

Oil makes ramps and stalls slippery. Degreaser and hot water lift it before the main wash.

### Sumps and trench drains full of sand

Winter sand collects in every sump and trench drain. Extraction during the wash prevents backups and odours.

### Grimy walls, columns and curbs

Lower walls and column bases collect splash and road film. We clean them at controlled pressure where the finish allows.

Why us

## Why Choose Power Pressure Washing Toronto for Parking Garage?

### Hydrovac on the same truck

Wash water and sump sediment go into our tank, not the drains, so garages stay compliant with Toronto Municipal Code 681.

### Membrane-safe methods

We check the coating first and keep pressure low near seams, joints and traffic membrane edges.

### One level at a time

Residents move cars from a single level per night, with clear notices and cones.

### Engineer-ready documentation

Photos per level and per sump help structural and membrane consultants see what they need.

Mississauga City Centre

### Mississauga City Centre Underground Garage

Rig: hot-water power washer + hydrovac vacuum tank

A condo corporation near Mississauga City Centre needed its two-level underground garage cleaned of winter salt and oil before a membrane inspection. We scheduled one level per night with vehicle relocation notices, washed with hot water at membrane-safe pressure, vacuumed the slurry and sump sediment into the hydrovac tank, and provided the engineer with level-by-level photos showing nothing reached the drains.

## What Clients Say About Our Parking Garage Work

Real jobs, real prices, written quote first.

Omar F.

Harbourfront

$960

> "We needed one heavily salted underground level washed before our engineer's membrane review. The crew checked the coating first, kept the pressure low near seams, and vacuumed everything up so the sumps were cleaner after than before. They worked overnight so residents only had to move cars from one level. Communication was clear from the quote to the final photo report, and the COI came within a day. It is rare to find a contractor who understands both the compliance side and the actual cleaning. We will use them for the full garage next spring and have already asked for a quote on the catch basins."

Underground garage level wash

Mei L.

King West

$1,150

> "I manage a mid-rise condo in King West and needed the courtyard, entrance plaza and garage ramp done after salt season. The COI arrived the next morning with our corporation named, which never happens with other vendors. They sent resident notice wording we could post in the elevators, worked a Saturday, and used a vacuum system so no wash water went into the drains. The photo report with timestamps went straight into our board package. We have since moved to their annual plan with the price locked for the year. Two other managers in our portfolio have since signed on after seeing the reports."

Condo courtyard + entrance spring wash

Natalie G.

Yorkville

$610

> "Our boutique entrance was covered in black gum spots and salt haze. They came at 6am, used hot water on the gum, and were packed up before we opened at 10. The sidewalk looks the way it should for the street we are on. Booking them monthly now. The manager even sent photos to our head office so they could see the before and after without visiting the store."

Jason P.

Liberty Village

$575

> "Large tag across the side wall of our office building. They matched the chemistry to old brick, kept the runoff contained, and sent before and after photos we used to close out the city notice. Quick, careful and clearly experienced with this kind of wall. They also suggested a protective coating so the next tag comes off faster and cheaper."

Luca V.

Trinity Bellwoods

$465

> "Running a busy kitchen on Queen West, the back pad and our patio get greasy fast and we were getting fruit flies by July. Their monthly plan covers the patio, rear door and dumpster pad with hot water, done before we open. They recover the dirty water instead of hosing it into the lane drain, which our landlord appreciated. The smell is gone and nobody slips at the back door anymore. Price stays the same every month, and they always send photos so I know it was done properly. When we had a grease spill at the back door on a Friday night, they picked up the phone and had someone out before Saturday brunch."

## Parking Garage FAQs

### Why should an underground garage be washed every year?

Road salt carried in on cars soaks into the slab and attacks rebar and traffic membranes over time. Washing it out each spring slows that damage, clears oil that makes ramps slippery and lets engineers actually see the surface during condition reviews.

### Will pressure washing damage our traffic membrane?

Not when done properly. We check the membrane type and condition first, keep pressure low near seams and terminations, and rely on hot water and surface cleaners to do the work instead of a narrow high-pressure tip.

### What happens to the salty wash water?

The hydrovac vacuums it, along with sediment from sump pits, into our truck tank. Nothing is pushed into floor drains or the storm system, in line with Toronto Municipal Code 681.

### How long does a garage level take?

Most condo levels are done in one night shift, depending on size and how heavily salted it is. Larger multi-level garages are scheduled one level per night so residents only move cars once.

### Do residents have to move their cars?

For the level being washed, yes. We supply notice wording and cones and work with management on a relocation plan, often to a visitor level or the level washed the night before.

### How much does parking garage cleaning cost?

We quote per level or per square foot after a site walk, because clearance, salt load, sump condition and membrane type change the work. Condo corporations can include garages in an annual contract with locked per-visit pricing.

### Can you clean the sump pits too?

Yes. Sump pits collect sand, grit and oily sludge all winter. Our hydrovac extracts it during the same visit, and our sister brand Hydrovac Toronto handles larger sump and catch basin programs.

### Do you provide a COI and WSIB for garage work?

Yes, within one business day. $2M liability, WSIB clearance and your corporation named as additional insured.
