Pressure Cleaning in Killarney Vale
Parts of Killarney Vale take overland water in heavy rain, and where it has run across a driveway or pooled against a wall it leaves silt and a grey film behind.

Pressure Cleaning around Killarney Vale
Council's floodplain study names two spots in Killarney Vale. At Hume Boulevarde and Wyong Road near Macarthur Street, the elevated median and limited culvert capacity mean water can reach above floor level in a major flood. At Davidson Avenue and Ferndale Street, a low point with limited stormwater capacity is the main cause of flooding. Silt is what that water leaves on the surfaces around it.
Silt dries hard onto concrete and into the joints of pavers, and wiping it off smears it. A pressure clean lifts it from sound concrete; on painted surfaces and the bottom boards of a fence it needs a gentler wash, because the pressure that shifts dried mud will also lift paint.
Permits and Central Coast Council rules
The drains and channels in the Killarney Vale catchment carry runoff into Tuggerah Lake, and Council describes shoreline algal growth and black ooze from Long Jetty to Killarney Vale. Wash water with detergent adds nutrients to exactly that shoreline. Under section 120 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (NSW), putting polluting matter where it will wash into one of those Killarney Vale drains can be an offence.
