Pressure washing for Tampa homes
Tampa’s water-use guidance treats hosing away debris that a broom can handle as wasteful. For residential pressure washing and soft washing, Gone Stumpin starts with the surfaces you need cleaned and a written estimate from the owner. Driveways, siding, roofs, pool cages, fences and decks are within the service.
What matters for pressure washing in Tampa
Only stormwater in the storm sewer
City ordinances make it illegal to put any pollutant into the storm sewer. Reports go to the City Stormwater Department at (813) 274-3101.
Sweep before you hose
Tampa counts hosing down a driveway to move clippings or debris a broom can handle as wasteful water use, and the same goes for hosing a building to clear cobwebs.
Water rules all year
Tampa has enforced water use restrictions year-round since 1992.
What you get
Driveways and walkways
Concrete and pavers around the house.
House siding
Exterior walls, soft washed or pressure washed depending on the surface.
Roofs
Roof cleaning with a soft wash.

How the job goes
Tell us about the job
Send the project address, what needs done and what you want the property ready for.
The owner sees it in person
He looks at what is actually there and puts the estimate in writing before work starts.
You get an arrival time
Once you say yes, the job goes on the schedule with a set arrival time.
The owner runs the job
The person who wrote your estimate is on site for the work.
Decide what the Tampa property needs
A driveway covered in clippings and siding that needs washing are different jobs. Describe the condition and the surface before choosing the work.
Separate sweeping from washing
Tampa’s published guidance names grass clippings, loose driveway debris and cobwebs among things that should not be hosed away when a broom can handle them. Tell us what remains on the surface and why you want it washed. The estimate can then address the cleaning job you actually need.
Include the roof or enclosure explicitly
A roof, screen enclosure and concrete driveway are not interchangeable parts of a quote. Roof cleaning uses a low-pressure soft wash. List each surface you want considered, including a fence or deck, and describe access around the house. The owner sees the work before putting the estimate in writing.
Use the current city guidance
Tampa has year-round water-use restrictions, and additional restrictions can change. Check the city’s current pressure-washing guidance for the proposed work. Do not rely on a dated drought announcement or assume an HOA request settles whether a particular use of water is allowed.

Pressure washing questions in Tampa
What happens if Tampa water rules are broken?
A city water use patroller can issue a citation on first observance.
Who do I call about a storm drain problem in Tampa?
The City Stormwater Department at (813) 274-3101, or Hillsborough County EPC at (813) 627-2600.
Is hosing clippings off a Tampa driveway the same as pressure washing?
Tampa specifically calls hosing away debris that a broom can remove a wasteful use of water. A request for surface cleaning should explain what needs removing and which surface is involved. Gone Stumpin offers residential pressure washing and soft washing; describe the driveway, siding, roof or other surface when asking for the estimate. City water guidance still applies to the actual work.
Can a Tampa property manager book a wash for a single home?
Yes. The residential service includes single-family homes and small rentals booked by property managers. It does not include apartment complexes or HOA common areas. Send the property address, the surface list and any access details. The owner writes the estimate before starting, is on site for the work and gives the job a scheduled arrival time. The price holds unless the scope changes.
Do you take commercial jobs in Tampa?
No. Pressure washing is for homes. Property managers can book single-family homes and small rentals.
Do you pressure wash roofs?
Roofs get a soft wash, which uses low pressure.
