ORANGEVALE, CA — Bailey Boys Services, a family-owned exterior cleaning company serving the Sacramento area since 2005, announced today the launch of its Clean Communities Initiative, a corporate social responsibility program that combines professional pressure washing services with environmental stewardship and community infrastructure protection.
The initiative represents a fundamental shift in how the company approaches its work, moving beyond aesthetic improvements to address environmental impact and community needs. Through partnerships with local organizations, Bailey Boys Services will restore neglected public spaces including parks, walkways, and shared community areas at no cost.
From Service Provider to Community Steward
The program emerged from observations the Bailey brothers made while working throughout Sacramento neighborhoods. Brad Bailey, co-founder and CEO, recalls a pivotal moment that changed the company’s direction.
“We were doing a job near a playground in Citrus Heights that was covered in algae and graffiti. Kids hadn’t played there in months,” Bailey said. “We came back on a Saturday with our crew and cleaned it for free. Seeing families out there again the next weekend made us realize this work could mean more than clean driveways.”
That experience transformed how the company views its role in the community. What started as a single volunteer project has evolved into a systematic approach to environmental responsibility.
Environmental Practices Protect Local Waterways
The Clean Communities Initiative includes strict environmental protocols on every job. Crews now block storm drains with berms and filters to prevent contaminated runoff from entering Sacramento’s water system. The company uses biodegradable cleaning solutions and reclaim systems that capture and recycle rinse water.
These practices address regulatory requirements under Sacramento County’s stormwater programs, which prohibit discharge of pressure washing wastewater into storm drain systems. Most homeowners remain unaware that improper pressure washing can send detergents, oil, and debris directly into local creeks and rivers.
“We keep it simple and positive when we talk to customers,” Bailey explained. “We’ll say, ‘We use a system that keeps dirty water out of the storm drains. Most people don’t realize that water goes straight to the river.’ Once people understand that, they really appreciate it.”
Business Benefits Align with Values
The environmental practices initially added time and cost to each job. However, the company discovered that responsible operations build long-term client relationships and reduce operational risks.
Customers who value accountability and sustainability become repeat clients and refer others with similar priorities. The practices also help the company avoid potential fines and reduce water consumption.
“It started as a values thing, but it’s proven itself as a smart business decision too,” Bailey noted. “Doing it right pays off.”
