Outdoor water features like fountains, ponds, waterfalls, and decorative basins can add a stunning focal point to commercial properties—from corporate courtyards and healthcare facilities to retail plazas and government spaces. But over time, these features accumulate dirt, algae, mineral deposits, and organic matter that can compromise their appearance and function.
Professional pressure washing is a highly effective way to restore these water elements to their original condition—without damaging delicate surfaces or disrupting surrounding areas.
At Precision Cleaning, we provide expert commercial pressure washing services across Canberra to keep your outdoor spaces clean, hygienic, and visually appealing.
Why Outdoor Water Features Need Regular Cleaning
Water features are constantly exposed to the elements. As a result, they’re prone to a variety of issues, including:
- Algae and mould growth from constant moisture
- Limescale and calcium build-up due to hard water
- Leaf litter and organic debris clogging pumps and drains
- Bird droppings or insect nests that create hygiene risks
Without proper maintenance, these contaminants can lead to unpleasant odours, poor water circulation, surface damage, and even health hazards—particularly in high-traffic commercial or public areas.
The Role of Pressure Washing in Water Feature Maintenance
Pressure washing is one of the most efficient and thorough ways to clean outdoor water features, offering benefits such as:
- Fast, deep cleaning of algae, moss, and dirt
- Safe removal of stubborn mineral deposits
- Improved appearance and curb appeal
- Enhanced water quality and circulation
- Longer lifespan for pumps and water systems
How Precision Cleaning Safely Pressure Washes Water Features
Cleaning a water feature requires careful attention to both the structure and the surrounding landscaping. At Precision Cleaning, our trained technicians use purpose-built equipment and environmentally friendly practices to ensure a safe, thorough result.
Here’s how we approach it:
1. Drain and Debris Removal
We start by switching off the water system and draining the feature (if applicable). This allows us to:
- Remove large debris such as leaves, twigs, and rubbish
- Inspect the structure for cracks, worn seals, or buildup
- Prepare the area for safe, targeted pressure cleaning
2. Gentle Yet Effective Surface Cleaning
We adjust the pressure according to the surface material—such as stone, concrete, tile, or metal—to avoid damage while thoroughly removing:
- Algae and lichen
- Dirt and surface stains
- Water scale and mineral deposits
Our team uses specialised nozzles and soft chemical treatments where required, always adhering to environmental safety standards—especially near gardens, ponds, or sensitive ecosystems.

Once cleaned, we rinse the area thoroughly and assist with refilling the water feature if requested. We also offer advice on regular cleaning schedules and maintenance best practices for your site’s needs.
