Pressure Washing in Hanahan, SC

The city's own map of Hanahan

The handiest map of Hanahan is the one its Public Works department prints for trash day. Yard debris goes out on Monday in Tanner Plantation, Eagle Landing and Otranto and on Tuesday in what the schedule calls Hanahan Proper, and the household-waste days split the city along the same lines, with Lakeview, Spring Valley and the homes along North Rhett picked out separately. Those names are the shorthand to use when asking about a wash. Say which part of the city the house is in, send pictures of every wall, the drive and the front walk, and the figure comes back without anyone needing to visit first.

What the zone names do not decide is the method. Vinyl and fiber cement get a low-pressure soft wash in every part of Hanahan, brick gets the same gentle mix with its mortar in mind, and concrete is cleaned with a rotary surface tool rather than a hand wand so the finish is even instead of striped. A driveway in Otranto and a driveway in Tanner Plantation are priced off the same line, and a two-story house in either one is quoted off the same two-story range.

Storm drains in Hanahan answer to a county program

Hanahan is what the state calls an MS4 jurisdiction, a city with its own municipal separate storm sewer system, and it has joined Berkeley County's stormwater management program rather than running one alone. The program's stated goal is to cut the pollutants leaving those drains, and the city's Building and Codes office takes reports of illicit discharges, the term for anything other than rainwater going down a storm drain.

For a wash, that is the reason to ask one question before the hose comes out: how will the cleaning solution and rinse water be kept away from the curb inlet? On a drive that slopes to the street, the usual answer is to wet the lawn and beds first, send the rinse water onto grass instead of down the gutter line, and rinse the plants again at the end. A washing company that cannot give that answer plainly is the wrong one for a Hanahan driveway, however good its price.

Jobs Hanahan homeowners ask about

• House washes: a soft wash sized to the siding, the shaded north wall included
• Roof soft washes: the black streaks on shingles come off at low pressure, so the granules stay put
• Driveways and walks: green film on shaded concrete is a slip hazard before it is an eyesore
• Decks and fences: decks, fences and porches washed at a pressure the wood can take

One price sheet for the whole service area

Hanahan is quoted off the figures printed across this site: house washes $200–$350, two-story homes typically $275–$450, driveways $100–$200, roofs $350–$700, with the house and driveway bundle taking money off the combined visit. There is no Hanahan surcharge and no separate Hanahan rate card. What moves a Summerville-area washing price is laid out line by line on the cost page, and the same reasons apply here.

Getting a Hanahan estimate

Photos of every wall, any roof slope visible from the yard, the driveway and the walk are enough to price the work, and an HOA letter can ride along if one started the conversation. Send them with the estimate form or call (843) 994-2432. Goose Creek sits in the same county stormwater program, and pressure washing in Goose Creek has a page of its own.
