Mortar splatter on new brick, concrete haze on walkways, mud tracked across driveways and dust on every window frame all come off, with the right rig on each material and the slurry vacuumed into our hydrovac tank. ## Why Do New Builds Need a Professional Final Wash? Construction leaves residue on every surface. Masons leave mortar tags and splatter. Concrete crews leave paste and haze on adjacent surfaces. Landscapers and trucks track mud across new hardscape. Brick and stone often show white efflorescence as they dry out for the first time. Buyers and owners notice all of it at the pre-delivery inspection. A rushed clean with a rental machine can etch new concrete, blow out fresh joints or leave streaks on brick that are harder to fix than the original mess. And on a new subdivision, washing slurry into a fresh storm system is a fast way to get an inspector’s attention. ## What Is Included in Post-Construction Power Washing? - **Brick and stone veneer**: mortar splatter and haze removed with controlled pressure or soft wash after a test patch - **Concrete and interlock hardscape**: driveways, walks, steps and patios cleaned of mud, paste and dust - **Windows, frames and doors**: low-pressure rinse to clear dust and splatter - **Light efflorescence** on brick and concrete - **Slurry containment** with drain covers and hydrovac recovery ![New brick and window frame half cleaned of mortar splatter and concrete haze](/images/content/mortar-splatter-and-concrete-haze-on-new-brick-and.webp) ## How Do Post-Construction Contracts Work? ### Contract and pricing table | Project type | Pricing basis | | --- | --- | | Single custom home | Written quote per project | | Townhouse block or semi pairs | Per unit or per phase | | Small commercial or mixed-use | Per elevation and hardscape area | | Combined with site wash and vac | Bundled rate | ### COI delivery in 24 hours Builders and GCs get a COI naming them as additional insured, with $2M liability and WSIB clearance, within one business day. ### Hydrovac wastewater containment (Toronto Municipal Code 681) Concrete and mud slurry are exactly the kind of discharge Toronto Municipal Code 681 restricts. We cover new catch basins, berm the work area and vacuum slurry into the hydrovac tank. Our sister brand, Hydrovac Toronto, supports larger site programs. ## When Should the Final Wash Happen? After the last exterior trades finish and mortar and concrete have cured, but before the pre-delivery inspection or occupancy walk-through. On phased projects we schedule each phase as it completes. Booking early lets us slot into your handover calendar instead of scrambling the week before. ## How Much Does Post-Construction Washing Cost? We quote from drawings or a site walk, per project, per unit or per phase. The written quote lists each surface type, so it maps cleanly onto your budget. Bundling with construction site wash and vac [/construction-site-wash-and-vac-toronto/ →](/construction-site-wash-and-vac-toronto/) usually lowers the combined cost. ## Common Post-Construction Problems We Solve ### Mortar splatter on brick and stone Mortar droppings and smears are common at the base of walls, around windows and on stone veneer. Heavy tags are scraped by hand first, then the residue is washed off. ### Concrete paste on adjacent surfaces When concrete is placed beside brick, stone or pavers, paste and haze often end up on the neighbouring surface. We remove it with suitable cleaners and controlled pressure. ### White efflorescence on new masonry New brick and block often bloom white as they dry out. A light treatment and rinse clear early efflorescence; persistent blooms point to moisture issues we flag for the builder. ### Mud and tire tracks on new driveways Trades and landscapers drive across new concrete and interlock. A surface cleaner and controlled pressure remove the tracks without damaging fresh surfaces. ### Dusty windows, frames and doors Construction dust coats every horizontal surface. A low-pressure rinse clears frames, sills and doors before the interior clean. ## Coordinating With the Last Trades The best time for the final exterior wash is after landscaping, paving and exterior painting are finished, but before the pre-delivery inspection. We confirm the order with the site super, avoid freshly sealed or painted areas, and schedule phased projects so each block is washed as it completes. ## Post-Construction Washing Across the GTA Our GTA power and pressure washing [/ →](/) crews work on new builds around Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, Woodbridge and Kleinburg in Vaughan [/service-areas/vaughan/ →](/service-areas/vaughan/) , in the newer subdivisions of Brampton [/service-areas/brampton/ →](/service-areas/brampton/) , and across Markham, Mississauga, Richmond Hill and Toronto.

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 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 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." Commercial brick wall graffiti Andrew B. Forest Hill $840 > "Our interlock driveway had lost most of its joint sand after a rough winter and weeds were coming through. They cleaned it, swept in new polymeric sand and sealed it with a natural finish, all on the same day. They explained the cure time clearly and roped it off for us. A year later the joints are still tight and the weeds have not come back. The price matched the written quote to the dollar, and they left the street cleaner than they found it. Our neighbours on the next street have since booked them for their own interlock." Interlock clean + polymeric reseal 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." Storefront + sidewalk gum removal Got questions? ## Post-Construction FAQs ### What does a post-construction power wash remove? Mortar splatter on brick and stone, concrete haze and paste on hardscape, light efflorescence, tracked mud, dust on windows and frames, and general construction grime on walkways, driveways and entrances. ### Can you clean new brick without damaging it? Yes. We wait until mortar has cured, test a patch, then use controlled cold-water pressure or a soft wash depending on the brick. Heavy mortar tags may need hand removal before washing. ### Is new concrete safe to pressure wash? Fresh concrete needs time to cure. We schedule washing after the cure period and use moderate pressure with a rotary surface cleaner so the surface paste is not etched. ### Where does the slurry go? Into our on-truck hydrovac tank. Concrete and mud slurry must not enter storm sewers, and new developments often have fresh catch basins that inspectors check. We cover them and vacuum the slurry as we go. ### How is post-construction washing priced? Per project, per unit or per phase, from drawings or a site walk. The written quote lists each surface type so you can match it to your budget lines. ### Can you work on occupied phases? Yes. For phased townhouse or condo projects we coordinate with residents in completed phases and schedule around move-ins. ### Do you provide a COI and WSIB for builders? Yes, within one business day. $2M liability, WSIB clearance and the builder or general contractor named as additional insured. ### Can you also clean the roads and sidewalks around the site? Yes, through our construction site wash and vac service, which washes mud tracked onto public roads and vacuums the slurry. Still have questions? The phone is answered 24/7. Ask about your surface, schedule or COI.
